I am a T-4 Para and I self catheterize. I can only drink one glass of iced tea a week because I get urinary tract infection from it. It doesn’t matter if the tea is black, green or white, it still gives me an infection. Iced tea is one of my favorite summer time treats. My urologist has no idea why this happens. Any ideas?

I drink soft drinks almost non stop and sometimes I get severe bladder infections with aches, pains and as they say on TV ads, urgency and frequency. A few days of water and/or cranberry juice cures it. I was wondering if it was the cola itself or the caffeine that causes the bladder infection? In other words would drinking excessive iced tea or coffee also cause it and would drinking non-caffeine drinks not cause it?
