D-Mannose for frequent bladder infections
D-Mannose capsule with vitamin C gives me pains in stomach and loose stools. I need name of USP approved maker of the powder form so that I can break the dosage down to several times a day so that I don’t get this side effect. Also where can I buy it because can’t find Pharmacies or GNC that carry D-Mannose, I had to order on line the first time I tried it and don’t know if it’s a reliable company.

Sorry. New to this. I was taking tablets by WCM Naturals. Researched and ordered the powder form made from birch trees by Waterfalls. My culture identified proteus mirelis as the cause. Does the D Mannose still work for that bacteria also?

Does d mannose work on proteus mirabellis too?
I order mine on Amazon.
@fotula I order from Amazon & is capsules & I take (2) a day.
@pegpal How can you get the powder for and does it taste awful?
My Urologist gave me a coupon for Theologic powder d-mannose and cranberry tablets. No uti since then. Just mix with juice
Online at their website. Also on Amazon. Great discount from urologist coupon about $25 off. Ask .
Has anyone tried the Complete Natural Products d-mannose? I just purchased some from Amazon. I’m hoping it’s as good. It’s says it’s 100% pure and 2000 mg per serving. I’m feeling a UTi coming on.

You can purchase from Amazon
NOW Foods Pure, Organic D-Mannose 10 oz Powder - Bladder Cleanse and Urinary Tract Health Supplement - Non-GMO - Vegan Friendly - 2000mg / 2 Grams per Serving
contains 142 servings for $49.92. You can also purchase smaller size for less money.
Mix in water, if you use a few ounces of water it is a sweet taste. If you take with 12 ounces of water it's tasteless.
Good at preventing UTI caused by E coli bacteria. Check out reviews on Amazon. NOW is a reliable and long standing company and tests all supplements.

I’ve been taking CranEaze capsules for over a year and continue to have recurrent UTI’s. Since Oct 2024 to now 9 UTI’s all Ecoli. I hesitate to increase the dosage not knowing the safety of continued use.
Tried Methenamine two times a day for four weeks ending with PH of 7. I stopped taking it.
Have had CT scan of Abdomen and Pelvis with contrast and Ultrasound. Also had cystoscopy
All normal findings.
While many people have diarrhea from antibiotics I developed constipation and have been battling that for over a year. On and off MiraLAX but now trying every day half dose which is not working. Will be increasing dose but each time I do I get diarrhea followed by no bowel movements so after two days I try MiraLAX again.
I recently started a probiotic by Jarrow called fem dophilus.
Out of all the reasons for UTI’s I only have the age factor.i was referred to Infectious Disease and treated with Levofloxacin.
That held me for two months. Now waiting for urine culture results due to newly developed symptoms. I don’t know what to try next.
