Brief Answer:
Fruit juice will not cure UTI or stomach Ulcer

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

Cranberry juice is good for urinary tract symptom relief but it will not heal the urinary tract infection. Azo is the active ingredient which you can also buy to help the symptoms. You will need antibiotics to cure urinary tract infection.

Fruit juice is not good for stomach ulcers. I would recommend getting tums, omeprazole, Nexium, Prilosec, or protonix at any store. Avoid ibuprofen, aleve, and Advil.
