D-Mannoose and UTI prevention

Posted by holly55 @holly55, Jan 1 1:00pm

I've read that taking D-Mannoose can flush toxins from bladder and kidneys. But don't take too much
Anyone have any experiences to share w this? I'm experiencing reoccurring UTIs. Was taking AZO and pumpkin for bladder support

I would like to add that in order for cranberry supplements to be effective you need brands with I belive 36 PAC'S ac to my urologist. However, if you have kidney stones, cranberry in any form can cause you to get a specific kind of kidney stone (urologist did NOT tell me this) so I stopped taking them and can't find the bottle. I'm pretty sure it was Utiva, which is good for people with chemical sensitivities. Sorry if I got the PAC name or number wrong....going on memory .

@mamab5

Are you taking a pill or powdered form of D-Mannose? Also what brand do you use? I am just starting to get recurrent UTI's in post menopause...totally out of the blue. Probably a lack of estrogen......

You need to take the powdered form, as I learned in this forum. The pills did nothing but make me feel a little sickish.
