I also had a bladder infection after the MC. I think it was from the dehydrating effects of the tea. I drank unsweetend organic cranberry juice for days and still had to end up taking Antibiotics for three days. Ick! I have learned in the past if it's not gone in a few days with the cranberry, I have to take anti's b.c I get severe kidney infections. I even fasted two of the days I came down with it and it did not go away. I do have to note that I am very prone to dehydration and bladder infections. That is my take on it though, the tea!
