I asked my urogynocologist that question. Her simple answer was she was consistently treated me as a "complicated" UTI. I was given longer days on antibiotics, so that I wasn't repopulating. Other changes included a vaginal estrogen crème to strengten the tissues and I started taking D-Mannose (supplement). I had a pessary that helped to keep my bladder in position to try and ward off retention which was a contributing factor to UTI.
This past June, having gone without a UTI for months, I began bleeding. Got all the tests and was planning a biopsy, when she uncovered that I am a victim of eroding mesh from a 1994 mesh sling used to lift my bladder. I was operated on this past July to remove what could be seen. The eroding mesh was causing the bleeding tissue. I have a suspicion the eroding pieces of mesh have been the cause of my UTI's and much more. I'm still trying to figure it out. Best wishes for your journey to finds a solution.
I have tried MiraLAX .Metamucil does anyone else have any recommendations on fiber supplements that take everyday I had diverticulitis in June with a whole in color (abscess) had colonoscopy and have 2 spots of diverticulitis and to eat regular food other than soft leaves pain in side. Been drinking 64 ounces of water still no luck please help
After I had to have a colon resection I asked the surgeon what I needed to do to prevent it from ever happening again. His answer was a quick “never let yourself get constipated.” Well that is easier said than done if you have chronic intestinal issues. I tried both Metamucil and Miralax. They did nothing at all. What has worked for me is IBS Clear with bioperine. I know it probably won’t work for everyone, but for me it does, Good luck.

Klsp, Slippery elm (inner bark) powder. The Frontier brand is very good. Put some in hot cereal or a hot drink. I use it with each meal. 1/8 teaspoon per meal for me. See what works for you.
Also Hilma Gentel Bowel Support for magnesium, it softens stool.
For fiber, I use plantain flour for my hot cereal and baked goods. Cooked potatoes, butternut squash, parsnips. You should be able to tolerate spinach.
Eggs, especially the egg white protein, is gentle protein and heals any inflammation.

Lactose free milk is gentle too.
