Hi Don't get me started (lol) I had 32 UTIs pretty much back to back...except when I started vaginal estrogen (which is a standard therapy). I had a 4 month break but my doctor urged me to get a cystoscopy and I got an infection from it and from then on in it was UTI after UTI...which meant 32 rounds of antibiotics. I think we all know how they destroy the good bacteria in the gut. And since the gut is where 80% of the immune system resides, I was very concerned about my ability to fight infection; little and big..like cancer for example. Long story short, my urogynecologist, Dr Walter in Montreal, suggested I try a new and promising, well researched, over the counter supplement called UTIVA. I fully expected it NOT to work because I had tried everything up to that point including d-mannose, cranberry supplements, vaginal and oral probiotics, drinking lots of water, the vaginal estrogen etc..Dr Walter explained that Utiva is not a cure. It must be taken daily preventatively. So, I ordered the Utiva on line from Utiva Health and started taking it AFTER I just finished antibiotics (for infection #32 in 3 years). I waited for the next UTI...it never came! And here I am about 2 1/2 months later, UTI free! I wish I could share this with others like me who basically live on antibiotics, never feel 100%, with the threat of a kidney infection hanging over their heads. This thread should probably be moved to the kidney/UTI section...where I have written about my experience with Utica.
