Re: D-Mannose for bladder infections
I just wanted to say that d-mannose worked great for me! I was literally getting a UTI every month (over a year ago). I now know that the constant
Antibiotics kept setting my body up for reinfection due to killing of the natural "good" bacteria in my body. It truly was a lifesaver. I went to both gynecologists and urologists (all wanted to put me on low dose
Antibiotics b/c they thought that sex was causing the infection) - however I was completely against it (even before I learned how much worse
Antibiotics can be for your body, when used repeatedly).
I tried EVERYTHING...cranberry juice/pills, vitamins, even antibiotics, etc. D-mannose got me off of the UTI cycle - after a couple months of taking daily, I started using only after intercourse (sorry for all the details!)...and haven't used/needed it in months.
If you’re getting recurrent UTI’s (and doctors don’t know why) you could have had a Yeast problem as I did. Try a search on Curezone on either candida or yeast and UTI’s. It’s very insightful. Good luck!
