Risk of UTI in Vegetarians and Non Vegetarians

Dear All,

We know a lot regarding Uncomplicated and Complicated UTI but have never given a thought regarding the incidence of UTI among Vegans and Non Vegetarians. This article attempts to highlight the decreased incidence of uncomplicated UTI in women who are Vegans. But the article has a major lacuna as it is not addressing whether a convert to Veganism from Non Vegetarianism helps in further prevention of UTI. The article concentrates on extra-intestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC), were distinct from the intestinal pathogenic strains and normal commensal strains. These organisms are frequently associated with Poultry and Pork Intake.

I would urge all to spent few minutes of your time in reading the ‘Discussion’ part as it would give you some insights into various chemicals found in Herbals and there beneficial effect on UTI.

With warm regards,

Venu
