Yes, our gut health is critical to our overall health. She loves milk but rarely drinks any as it is a trigger for her incontinence. Another sister cannot have dairy (trigger for psoriasis) but we've learned to read labels since "dairy-free" can cover a lot of products, just like "organic" labels. I feel like I've read something about d-mannose recently. I'll research this and the coconut butter.

Hello,
I found D Mannose some time ago on Amazon.
At the first inkling of a UTI, I take 1 or 2. The dosage is 3.
Just once a day. It helps tremendously.
And I need it very infrequently.
I was also drinking orange juice AND coffee every morning.
That was causing bladder pain.
I stopped the OJ & have 1 cup
of coffee.
Tomatoes can be a problem for me.
It seems anything acidic will cause problems.
Sometimes we have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what it is that is causing problems.
My nurse practitioner would order an antibiotic with a UTI but I haven’t had to take any in a long time.
There was no discussion of diet or anything.
I figured it out on my own.
