I read your experience and wanted to share mine as well. I also have a complete duplication of my right ureter. I am 31 years old now and have had UTIs since I was a teenager. At the age of 19 I spent 7 days in the hospital due to a kidney infection thats was when through x-rays doctors discorverd the anomaly in my ureters. They said there was no specific treatment for it only surgery. I didn't want surgery at that age. I have UTIs very frequently and antibiotics won't work anymore. A few years ago a friend suggested I drink water with apple cider vinegar in it and it works better than anything I have ever tried. Within half hour pain is all gone. Like you I have just recently looked into my diet and made some changes as well. I have become a pescatarian, I have cut out all meat from my diet. And this has helped a lot too, I try to keep my caffein intake to a minimum. No sodas for me I wish I could cut off coffee but like it too much.View Thread
