@minischnauzer and all...Yep! Sounds a lot like my last few years. Last year I had 5 UTIs, all on various antibiotics, some recurred and came back with a roar...never cleared by the previous antibiotic. One I had sepsis and was on IV antibiotics which did a good job of clearing up my body's infection. I was sent to the Infections Disease Department at Mayo and put on an antibiotic daily for ongoing protection. Didn't work. I developed another UTI and then had several antibiotics trying to stop this one. Ckd for C-Diff and no, but still had trouble with each antibiotic tried as UTIs continued.
I now developed my own system for this...I take a probiotic recommended by a Mayo doctor, Progubolin, online at Research Verified website. It has saved me from horrible years of IBD. It worked! NO more IBD issues of any kind...very rarely. So, if I have to take an oral antibiotic, I take 1 probiotic in the morning, take the antibiotics and then take the regular probiotic at night. So, I take 2 daily, instead of the normal 1 daily. If I do develop dia1rrhea, I take
1 or 2 Lomotil tablets and then I'm fine until I finish the antibiotic script. It works! I did ck with the Mayo doc re the double probiotic and he said it was fine under these conditions. I'm kind of proud of myself for figuring out a way to beat the problems all on my own. Amazing the docs never got there before me!
I no longer take a prophylactic antibiotic. I use this system if I need it. Also, I take the UTI supplement from Research Verified. I've had 1 UTI since beginning that daily supplement. ONE! And, it cleared up with a 5-day antibiotic, not the usual 10-day order.
I think I'm on the way to vastly improved years. Hopefully...
I did some research into this company prior to the first order and the doctor's office agreed it was the probiotic they recommended. But, only after using it did I realize what a dear gift I was given. Haven't felt this good and normal in my adult life. So thankful for this insight.
I hope this helps someone with similar issues. May your journey be improved by my sharing my experiences. Blessings. Elizabeth
