UTI and drinking Coke.?

I was diagnosed with a bladder infection, on 17 August (last Monday). I have been given some Antibiotics, which have worked and I feel alot better! I have been drinking water or Barley water - sometimes Lemon tea, as it's herbal. I have opened a can of coke, and i've just read it can cause the infection to come back - even though I am still on antibiotics, could it come back?

    Drink several diet cokes or coke zeros- you will need to pee more as the caffeine will help push the urine out- ALWAYS go when you feel you need to- even if just tinkle comes out- every time you pee- more bacteria is flushed out. The Coke will raise the acidity in your urine which is helpful for curing. I am a chronic urinary tract infection suffer- and get MORE infections the less soda I drink!!! (Yes, I realize I could drink more cranberry juice and improve my diet, etc, etc, ) but just thought I would share this because the Docs wont!!!

    The bacteria that cause bladder infections love sugar; coke is full of sugar. It's best to avoid all sugar until days after the symptoms have disappeared.
