ANTIBIOTICS, was Re: oh cr*p UTI

[Guest guest]

I am in the same boat. Started getting UTI symptoms Saturday. I completely

forgot about D-Mannose! I had heard of it the last time I had a UTI and told

myself I would try that. However, I forgot and went to the doc. They gave me

Bactrim and after just two pills, I was TERRIBLE! My guts are still wreaking

havoc. I called the doc back and they switched me to Cipro, just took one pill

so far. I am going to stop the Cipro and get D-Mannose tomorrow. What dosage

does everyone do?

at the idea of having to take antibiotics! I took CranMax and drank tons of

water, but it just didn't kick it. I emailed the list and got some reassurance-

I think Gay B. emailed me this anitibiotic info. At any rate, Macrodantin is

safe and what is usually used to treat UTIs. Just ask for the lowest dose

possible. I didn't have any problems- I did take some extra probiotics every day

and tried to eat extra yogurt.
