Susanna82 thank you for sharing. You answered my question about lowering my GFR. My eGFR was 60 and 62. After the eGFR AA was changed my GFR lowered to 59 stage 3a. What diet change’s have you made?

I’ve had two UTIs in 2 years that were ATB resistant so I was referred to an infection specialist and he saw immediately my treatment at urology was my problem. Weekly instills with gentamicin he says made me resistant to most oral antibiotics and being Cathed weekly was not good either. I had a DNA test to see what I’m resistant to. Almost everything thanks to years of antibiotics back to back. So 2 weeks of PICC line strong atbs to knock it out. Stopped going for weekly urology and no more infections so far—2 months. Longest I’ve gone in 5 years! Macrobid is still working for me if I need it. They used to think urine was sterile. It’s not. And if you are colonized(bacteria hide in bladder wall) you will always show some bacteria. So I lived in fear of deadly sepsis for years. I have some fear still because I have almost constant burning that I control with OTC Azo pain. I also get a limited rx of same. I have fibro, back issues and interstitial cystitis so it’s hard to tell if I’m infected. Only way is a cath culture. Here we go again…….it’s a world wide problem and lots of research is done on men but not so much for post menopausal women. Utube has some very good UTI videos. From the UK where they seem to be up on things.

What is the special diet.
