Cranberries do the same thing, and you can eat them in so many different ways.
Response:
IMO you tank up on fluids real quick makes your kidneys work better and you flush out your body in doing this.

no good advice here – I drink only water with the occasional glass of milk (and of course my morning Ensure which is a liquid "meal") I had to give up carbonated drinks (caffeine, sugar, decaf, "diet" – can’t have any of those) and juices. Though some people can handle cranberry juice it can actually irritate the bladder so I wouldn’t go with that one. I can have apple juice in small quantities to keep from getting too bored. funny thing is – I know longer like the taste of sodas, coffee, tea… any of that stuff. good, filtered water works just fine.

I have minor kidney involvement with my lupus and my doc gave me the green light for water and decaf tea and this may sound nuts but tank up on watermelon, cleans out the whole system quickly and painlessly. Anytime my kidneys get cranky i grab watermelon and all stays as well as it can be. Hope things keep going good for you!
