recurring UTIs

UGH, Lph. Sounds like you're doing all the right stuff though. Not sure if you're into herbal remedies or not, but marshmallow tincture is pretty commonly used to help soothe the renal system and so is dandelion tea (though the latter can be pretty bitter)

Hi, Kit, and thanks But my post was old, so it's Melalvai who needs our sympathy now. Hang in there, uti's suck, and so does 3 am!

Oh! My mistake! Feel better, Melalvai!

I've mentioned on this site before, but I had about a year of recurring UTIs that was so annoying and hated taking antibiotics for them every time. So, after some research, I found d-Mannose. It's a form of sugar that isn't processed by your body but makes the inside of the bladder slippery so the bacteria can't adhere. Works very well as prevention as well as treating full-blown UTI.

Not the cheapest stuff out there, but works very well. Whole Foods carries it.

sounds like the way xylitol functions orally. Good to know.
