> 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.
