Urinary track infection

@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

Thank you Elizabeth….I’m going to try your approach to rid myself of these constant UTI’s…thank you so much for sharing.

I take methenamine (Hyprex) as a preventative for UTIs. This was prescribed by Mayo many years ago when we were traveling in an RV and it was hard to get care on the road. Within the last couple of years my Mayo nephrologist told me to cut the med in half so she must’ve had some concerns that it could affect my kidneys. I will raise the possibility of using your supplement when I see her next…Thank you!

Do you have the website where you purchased the probiotic Progubolin?
