Hi TMJ, I'm glad to hear that you've had success and have not had an UTI for 10 months now.

@rosemariewalters was also asking about the safety and/or necessity of taking D-Mannose and cranberry long term. As always, this is a question best asked of your doctor. I would hate for you to pay for expensive supplements if they are no longer necessary.

Here's more information about D-Mannose https://www.healthline.com/health/d-mannose-for-uti

Rosemarie, how are you doing? TMJ, can you speak with your doctor before continuing with the supplements?

I'm doing much better....thank you. I also made other changes besides taking the supplements that I believe helped. One being not wearing pantie liners. They are made with synthetic materials and can cause irritation and, for some, infection. Should only wear 100% cotton liners. That area has to breathe. Another was I cut back acidic foods from my diet, which can irritate the bladder. Hope this will help others.
