Cranberry: Cranberries are tart, red, edible berries that are harvested from small evergreen shrubs. The berries are used in sauces, jellies, and drinks. Some patients with spina bifida have problems fully emptying their bladders, which may lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs). While no single study convincingly demonstrates the ability of cranberry to prevent UTIs, the sum total of favorable evidence combined with laboratory research tends to support this use.

Avoid if allergic to cranberries, blueberries, or other plants of the Vaccinium species. Sweetened cranberry juice may affect blood sugar levels. Use cautiously with a history of kidney stones. Avoid more than the amount usually found in foods if pregnant or breastfeeding.
