Cranberry and Dryness?

Hi Ladies,

I just started taking the cranberry 500 mg, and it makes me feel a little itchy and dry down there, is the itchyness from just being dry?  have any of you experienced the same thing?  i see on the posts that a lot of you will take like 10,000 mg of cranberry i can't  imagine taking that much if 500 mg is making me feel dry, what do you all think.  thanks

I wounder if it might just be a coincidence?  I know that cranberry is supposed to help with yeast infections and UTI's, helping to get rid of both the infection as well as the itch associated with the infection.  I personally never had any problems with the cranberry...the only thing I had side effects from was Vitex and that gave me bad head aches.  Good luck to you!!!

I took the 500mg capsules and they dried me up fairly quick. I don't remember being so dry that it itched though. 

Sonya,

The cranberry made me really dry also.  I used Replens to help put a little moisture back in, you can also use Rephresh.  Just think of it as a good sign, that your environment is changing to help you get your girl!!
