@daphne52 I’ve never heard of cranberry/d’mannose capsules. When I was working my way through college as a certified nurses aid (CNA) we passed out cranberry juice daily to the patients, especially for those who were catheterized. It was thought to help prevent UTI. My father-in-law who had end stage renal disease (ESRD) swore by it. I think it might fall into the category of “might help, can’t hurt”. When I suspect a UTI coming on I fill a huge glass with ice, pour cranberry juice over it and sip throughout the day. I don’t know if it is the cranberry juice itself or increased fluids in general that is helpful but it gives me a sense of flushing out bad stuff and promoting good urinary tract health.

Did your Transplant Center OK you taking Cranberry/D-Mannose? I used to take it before the transplant but they said no supplements at all after transplant. it worked for me before. And I am just recovering my first post transplant UTI after 3 days in the hospital on IV antibiotics. Taking oral antibiotics now at home. The UTI process and urine cultures was a traumatic process for me, as first 2 cultures were negative. I had to wait until a fever and chills to get accepted at a ER for treatment. Please let me know about the Cranberry/D-Mannose acceptance at the TC. Thank you, BB
