RE: Recurring Urine Infection

Oh Jasper
I know exactly how annoying that is. I hate them. I'm going through a big one at the moment and need to take intravenous antibiotics which I'm less than happy about obviously but I've had it now for 3 months non stop and nothing seems to be shifting it. There is something really good however that my friend swears by, it works when you manage to catch it at the very beginning, it's called D Mannose and all the info you might need is on www.waterfall-d-mannose.com
Please please let me know how you get on with it if you decided to try it.

Love

Aleks

hi jasper
ive had the infection for 2 weeks,had antibiotics last week.they didnt work.so its very painful still..i was told to take a teaspoon of bicarbinate of soda in a glass of water.as it weakens the acid in your wee which causes the burning.
and ive been drinking cranberry juice which i add flavoured water to..it has helped a lot..
love

Cranberry juice is probably the best, because it helps prevent bacteria from anchoring to bladder walls.

The key is to drink real cranberry juice, not those cranberry juice cocktails. Those drinks are too sweet. It has to be really tart to work. If you can’t find cranberry juice, look for cranberry juice concentrate that you can mix with water.

Hi Jasper

A year or so back I was plagued with what I assumed was cystitus.

I did 2 things and I am not sure which of these seemed to do the trick.

When I showered I used to be rather quick on rinsing myself down below so I made a conservative effort to make sure I gave myself a thorough rinse.

The other thing I did was keep a food diary and it seemed to co-incide with eating celery. I eat a lot of salad and I would often buy celery. This is quite strange because I have read this can actually help with urine infections but with me it was quite to opposite.

Anyway touch wood and all that, by not eating anymore it went away.

I dont have much to add really, just, keep trying to kick them, UTI s can lead to inflamed kidney tissue and some times irreversible damage to them. Keep in touch with your doctor and drink loads of water.

I went through a stage of geeting infections every three months. I've never been one for taking pills so always tried to treat it by drinking plenty of water and cranberry juice. It had some effect, but very little. Then I had a really bad infection that spread to my kidneys. I felt awful and was vomiting. I gave in and went to my GP who told me to eat or drink nothing but water for 24 hours and gave me anti'biotics, which I took grudgingly. But it did the trick. I started to feel better within hours of taking the first tablet.

Unfortunately, three months later I had another infection. My GP put me on a small dose of anti-biotic which I took daily for about a year. Touch wood, I've not had a recurrance since.

Try a high dose of Vitamin c (1000 mg) one per day,(stay on this this helps). Golden seal root is a natural anti bacterial and anti fungal, try this for eight weeks on and two weeks off.

My daughter suffers with the constant uti's unfortunately it has caused damage to her kidneys. I am at the end of all hope for her but would advise to drink plenty and the cranberry is scientifically proven. I would eliminate sugars!

Hi there

You could try Colloidal Silver. It's a natural antibiotic that was used before invention of the antibiotics available from the GP. The great thing about it is that it sweeps infection and viruses out of the system, but unlike conventional antibiotics doesn't sweep good bacteria along with it.

It's available online. It's very safe and is generally a very good thing to take re building immunity generally.

Hope that helps.

Have a look at your life and see what is pi**ing you off at the moment - has someone upset you or are you unhappy with something or someone?

Have a little think, deal with it and your problem will go!

Good luck - they are awful and soooo painful!

Hope you are feeling better soon xxx

I hope the original poster's condition has cleared up by now...... it was first posted 3 years ago!!! 🙁

I have just got over a painful bout of Urinary infection, I was worried about it, but went to the pharmacy and took high strength Cranberry Capsules called 'Cranberry Forte'. I would start the day with a large glass of water and about 3 in one go, then have a big glass of water around 3pm with 1 capsule. I would also drink a tea of Couchgrass herb throughout the day but more so in the evening. Ive got over it now, but its important to take it seriously. If you get severe kidney pain and blood in the urine GO TO THE DOCTOR!!! Reduce your sugar consumption as that helps the bacteria breed. If you treat it early enough you can definitley deal with it yourself.
Best of luck,
Sharron

help - kidney stone makes me have uti?

please someone help me with some advice !!!
i have a urine infection and no antibiotic helps, i have pain in my bladder and my right side on the back. could it be caused by a kidney stone? i don't have a medical insurance and i am a little short on money so i can no longer go to the doctor for the next few weeks. i spent all money on pills and 3 visits to dr that did not help me.

cranberry juice doesn't seem to help much....
