D-Mannose for frequent bladder infections

Posted by fuzzball @fuzzball, Aug 28, 2020

D-Mannose capsule with vitamin C gives me pains in stomach and loose stools. I need name of USP approved maker of the powder form so that I can break the dosage down to several times a day so that I don’t get this side effect. Also where can I buy it because can’t find Pharmacies or GNC that carry D-Mannose, I had to order on line the first time I tried it and don’t know if it’s a reliable company.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bladder Conditions Support Group.

Sorry. New to this. I was taking tablets by WCM Naturals. Researched and ordered the powder form made from birch trees by Waterfalls. My culture identified proteus mirelis as the cause. Does the D Mannose still work for that bacteria also?

D-Mannose has almost no flavour other than it adds a slight sweet taste to the water. Because D-mannose is a simple sugar, I would stick to diluting it in 1/2 cup of water rather than adding another sugar in juice form. Remember to drink as much water as you can throughout the day, so that you can flush the E-Coli bacteria out of your bladder.

I buy my NOW brand D-Mannose from Amazon. I take 1 tsp per day mixed with water - I take it after dinner. There are no other additives such as Vit. C, etc. It is cheaper to order online thru Amazon as opposed to buying at any store.
