Thank you. I have printed the suggestions from the Mayo Clinic and review them and talk to my doctor more. When I finish this third round of antibiotics we will see if it comes back and how fast. I have been having them for moe than 3 years and I don't think they go completely away. I also think the bladder infections are the reason for my nausea and stomach upsets. Thanks for your help.

I had chronic UTIs for many years..so I know how frustrating it can be. I know this may seem very simplistic but it certainly can't hurt. Take a cranberry pill daily (can be purchased very inexpensively at any pharmacy area.) Cranberry makes the lining of the bladder "slippery" which does not allow bacteria to stay attached to your bladder. You have probably been told to take cranberry juice daily, but since you are diabetic the pill is truly just as good, easier and cheaper. Again, very simple precaution...prior to intercourse clean vaginal area well with soap and water than after go to the bathroom to flush away any bacteria immediately and than clean again. Every time! Yeast can be an issue with taking lots of antibiotics and could be the culprit for your stomach issues...You may also want to think about taking a probiotic or yogurt daily...it may help! Hope these simple suggestions are helpful....made a difference for
me...Good Luck!!
