ANTIBIOTICS, was Re: oh cr*p UTI

[Guest guest]

Hi PJ- man that sucks! I had the same thing a few months ago and freaked out 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.

Here is a general list of antibiotics, FYI:
