First sign I might be getting a UTI, I take a teaspoon in water and the feeling goes away in 20 minutes for me. If you still feel one coming on take 4 teaspoons or more a day. Read the thousands of star reviews on Amazon. I posted two different brands mostly so you can read the reviews. You get more d’mannose in the powdered form than pills. I’ve used both of these and both work. These 2 have the most reviews of all the d’mannose offered on Amazon. On and off I had interstitial cystitis for yrs until I found d ‘mannose. Drinking tons of water plus marshmallow root helps big time too.

Just received some natural supplements to prevent UTIs, but if I'm affected already, I need treatment then latch onto this supplement preventative.

I've had it and still keeping it at bay.

This looks like what I might need for a more permanent solution.

My pendulum said it would be good.

What exactly is it.. never heard of it before? Thank you!

It’ll ruin your life. When I had a UTI that’s what they gave me and it left me with chronic tendonitis pain. It’s been eight years of utter misery.

a good few weeks. Enough for me to remember, I would make sure I never took it again and wishing I had my UTI back and just continued the AZO pills and living with orange pee.(I realize that isn't a good idea, but I was so miserable.) The thing is, I had taken Cipro at least 2 other times in the past 20 years and was fine.

That was in 2017. I just had a UTI in April, I made sure to let my new Dr. know about my past experience. He prescribed antibiotics that were yellow and black capsules, with a complicated name, they worked fine, not as fast acting as the Cipro, but well worth not going through that misery again.

thankful not to be sick like I was on Cipro, I may have ignored or passed any side effects as residual from the UTI.

I felt rotten, stopped at my doctor's for Urgent Care hours, but as soon as I said I was "congested," they sent me home and and would only talk to me over the phone! I do not have Covid, I have had 4 vaccine shots and just can't breathe through my nose, it's sinus. They prescribed 2 meds, but that was 2 weeks ago and I feel just the same. Hope you have better results...

They’re fairly easy to find in most pharmacies.

I started taking one with my daily vitamins when I decided to start taking daily vitamins - when I turned 60. Nine years later, haven’t had a single UTI since.

choice.

My mom took those, never got UTIs when she took them. And a friend had a doctor recommend these, but taken at twice the usual dose, 4 capsules a day instead of two.

It's also always a good idea to avoid sugar if you get UTIs.

And always make sure your doctor knows what supplements you're taking, in case any interact with any meds you're on.

I first got them in the 70's. Substitute doc when mine was away, scared the living outta me when I said I didn't finish the previous complete course of meds.

He goes: "Do you want to have renal failure or go on dialysis?"

70's--the last time I had it until 2011.
Called the EMS on myself. Had no symptoms, but felt like I was fixin' to die.

Had almost full saline drip. Doc almost gave me Cipro IV that I mentioned in review of hospital treatment I had November when it was really bad. But I asked for oral. Cipro IV too industrial strength. He was iffy on the culprits causing concern this time, but did write an Rx for 7 days of oral Cipro.

Any tests are not 100% accurate, but as slight as a result I got, it still prompted me to seek an answer and treatment if called for. And glad I did.
