Incontinence and pain in hands?

Thankfully, my Urologist let's me have refills of Bactrim and Pyridium as needed. I have air in my bladder and I believe he suspects a tiny fistula. I have not tried any long term abx or preventatives. Even short term abx throw my gut microbiome for a loop. Thanks for your response!

A trick to avoiding gut micro biome issues with antibiotics is to counteract with probiotics. Antibiotic's aren’t discriminatory so they kill all the bugs…good and bad!
I’ve been on long and short term antibiotics and find that eating 1/2 cup of non-fat, active culture Greek yogurt twice daily has been a life saver. (Morning and before bed) For lunch I usually supplement whatever I’m eating with an ounce or two of raw, fresh fermented sauerkraut and other pro/prebiotics. (Lots of info online)
Any probiotics should be taken at least 2 hours after or before antibiotics so the good guys aren’t killed along with the bad bugs. Might be worth a try. Let me know if it helps.
