Recovering From Bladder Infection But Why I Am Feeling Thirsty And Hungry After Using Bathroom?

Hi, I have been getting over a bladder infection by drinking lots of water, eating more fiber, and drinking and eating cranberry, and while I am getting better, recently, I have been feeling hungry and thirsty after I use the bathroom and I wonder if its related and I wonder what more I can do to get back to my regularly scheduled digestion?

I think it is important to keep yourself well hydrated especially after urinary tract infection. If you are feeling thirsty and hungry more than usual, it might be worth checking your blood and urine sugar levels. Though thirst and increase in appetite may be normal, sometimes this can happen with diabetes too. So please check your blood sugar level. If you have recovered from urinary infection you can revert back to normal, high fibre diet and ensure adequate hydration.
