Hi

I am tearing my hair out here regarding constant UTI.

I have been recommended somewhere on this forum D-Mannose which I plan to order now on Amazon.

I am asking should I ditch the normal cranberry tablets I have been taking once i get the D-Mannose ? The cranberry were super strength but just are not doing the trick.

Drinking gallons of water.

Could someone out there let me know?

Thank you

  • Definitely ditch the cranberry! That has sugar in it as well as the d-mannose you need. Sugar just keeps your UTI going.

    I use d-mannose and it is brilliant. It should stop that cycle of antibiotics, cleared up then another UTI. You may need antibiotics to clear an active infection, but the d-mannose should keep it away.

    If you've been taking antibiotics, then I'd also take a course of probiotics or drink kefir.

    You may also have thrush as a result of any antibiotics - that can sometimes feel like a UTI so you might want to treat for that too.

  • Thank you @beatthebeast . 
    Yes take probiotics already .

    Absolutely cr….it that Tamoxifen will bring all this back up .

    My GP has tentatively  suggested daily low dose AB as a possible option .

    I now have a telephone appointment with my oncologist tomorrow night and will discuss preventative measures with her as well as D- Mannose .
