I am in the midst of an antibiotic-resistant uti myself, use Symbicort, Albuterol and an Incruse inhaler for copd. I had noticed the urine retention problem when I hadn't been able to leave a sample. A wonderful doctor at an Urgent Care agreed with my inhaler theory & put me on cranberry pills - not juice but pills - to change the pH of my urine. He said it would help prevent the bacteria from sticking to the bladder. I will be comparing the cranberry pills to D-Mannose, really appreciate your post, Kathleen.
