5. Fermented Foods
The bacteria that cause urethritis enter the digestive system where they alter the balance of good and bad bacteria in the gut. As a result of this change in the intestinal environment, it’s far easier for the harmful bacteria that cause urethritis to spread to the bladder and urinary tract.
Restoring the balance of bacteria in your digestive system should be a top priority to relieve symptoms of urethritis infection. Eating fermented foods will help restore the balance and bring your digestive system back to health.
Fermented foods, such as sauerkraut, kimchi, Greek yogurt, and kefir all contain significant amounts of probiotic enzymes and prebiotic fiber that’s outstanding for gut health. Eat these foods with every meal, and you’ll be on your way to good gut health, and eradicating the urethritis bacteria or virus from your system.
Make sure you buy organic fermented foods that contain no sugar. Many commercial brands add preservatives, additives, and sugar to increase the shelf life and add sweetness. Unfortunately, this ruins their health advantages.
