D Mannose does really work for UTIs, what a great doctor for not just throwing her on another antibiotic ❤️🤗

[@abhisheksingh_1328]

Did u get improvement on d mannose!!

[@jteufel07]

@@abhisheksingh_1328 Yes it works as a preventative or it works when you have a UTI. They sell it in pills that also have cranactin or they have a jar of it, it's a powder you add to water and it tastes good. Keeps the bacteria 🦠 from being able to stay attached to your urinary tract.

Products mentioned: - D-Mannose: a naturally occurring sugar that helps to encapsulate certain bacterias and makes them less festicious and sticking to the lining of the bladder. - Probiotics - Estrogen cream (for post-menopausal women) Hope you get better everyone who are suffering.

What's D-Mannose? Where to buy it?

[@downbntout]

Thank you

[@mountaingirl1797]

Is it a capsule or what form?

[@campbell1337]

Amazon

[@goodintentions1302]

I've learned to keep these on hand even though UTI's are rarely a problem for me. It only happens to me when I haven't drank enough water for a couple of days. 😕

[@kyrareneeLOA]

This is helpful. I feel this is my reason too.

[@sashasg11]

thank you 🙌🙏🏻😇

[@valsummerfield3069]

What I would like to to know is if DMannose is ok to take daily for someone who is prediabetic being that it's a simple sugar.

[@divineinhalewithdonnacliff8112]

Great doctor

[@Quanycashingout]

Very painful thing I suffer from

[@carolbonnell6675]

I'm diabetic 2 would that hurt.

[@betsaification]

What about if it’s cystitis? De’ mannose still helps ?

[@TaylorSwiftGleek]

Yes 👍

[@oksills]

D manose. Easily ordered online. It actually is very good, it looks & tastes like powered sugar. It is a sugar.

[@betsaification]

@@oksills I can’t get rid of a bladder infections. I have usually Manos I have used antibiotics, but I don’t wanna take them anymore so I’m using alternative. Now but I don’t know what’s going on that I cannot get rid of a bladder infection. She wants me to use c- Estriol vaginal cream I have not use it maybe I’m afraid of that kind of hormone but she says it safe and that should protect me from bacteria and other option is going to urologist but I’m also afraid of the test they do I heard is painful

[@susiealverson1]

@@betsaification you probably have an embedded UTI/Biofilm/ChronicUTI. IT TOOK THREE YEARS OF ANTIBIOTICS to CLEAR MY UTI. UNFORTUNATELY, MOST DOCTORS AREN’T WILLING TO TREAT YOU WITH ANTIBIOTICS LONG ENOUGH TO KILL THE INFECTION. IT CAN LITERALLY TAKE YEARS FOR SOME PEOPLE LIKE ME. GO TO DR STEWART BUNDRICK IN BOSSIER CITY LOUISIANA. HE’S THE REAL DEAL. PATIENTS COME TO HIM FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD. Another complication is that the urine cultures to test for UTI or highly in accurate and have a high rate of false negatives. I can’t believe how many Urologists don’t understand that the testing is a problem. The only way to get an accurate result is with a PCR/DNA urine test that your doctor can order. And best of luck.

[@methatlovescats3602]

No not flu like symtoms . Bad pain

[@DeepakGupta-vr1sy]

Todipan what is it??

[@caitlinsoliman1658]

Maybe she had a more mild form or else her body just reacts differently everyone is different I get what you mean though

[@susiealverson1]

Flu like symptoms for me. Some people, though have severe pain or burning. With one of my UTIs, it felt like I was being stabbed in their urethra with an ice pick. Everyone is different.

[@urbanbackyardfarmer9159]

@@susiealverson1oh you poor thing. That sounds horrible. I went to my local Sprouts and God truly led me to the right employee who told me that Urinari-X worked for her. I’m on day three. Although I had a slight fever, 100.6 , my peeing is so much better.

[@irenegresham1519]

When yove got a UTi you have to drink lots of water helps with the stinging about 6 to 7 cups of water Throughout the day..and certain drinks and foods makes it worsts so avoiding theses is the better way to go.

[@barriefrost6304]

Does it work for men?

[@DivaDen]

I dont see why not. It works and doesn't say only for women.

[@jetski275]

D-mannos , does it work for younger women? My wife is 38 no menopause

[@jteufel07]

Sure it will work for her

[@DivaDen]

Definitely

[@bushrahanif]

Can d mannose be used during pregnancy?

[@DivaDen]

I don't see why not but you should ask your OB

[@klbnofg]

What about if somebody has Diabetes2? Can you still take it?

[@TaylorSwiftGleek]

Yes

[@DivaDen]

They have capsules

[@nichellehowell]

I take d mannose daily but I'm STILL getting uTI's 😫

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

I’ve been taking this for a month an was so hopeful but no, another has started. At this point we are ALL desperate for relief. So this puts us at risk of trying everything on YT. Even my urologist does not know.

[@SadaMMcCoy]

Have you tried the Solaray Cranactin Dmannose? Their reviews are good

[@jonnahdee9202]

Try a water fast... Stop eating and just drink water for a couple days

[@doghairdontcarelindaniel7531]

I think I’m not taking enough d-mannose when I feel one coming on. Thanks for the tips everyone

[@BrainToMush]

@Painkiller Channel Todikamp has kerosene in it. It's toxic. It's made for processing bee hives, not for human consumption.

[@j-life8502]

D- Mannose only works for infectious causes by ecoli!! If I hea one more person day dmannose and cranberry, I'm gonna scream!!! They dont work for everyone

[@nichellehowell]

Yea.....I take dmannose & I still get them.

[@SadaMMcCoy]

It’s worth a try that cranactin dmannose has crazy reviews but yes true there is no one fix all for everyone

[@jonnahdee9202]

Try a water fast

[@nylotus]

@@jonnahdee9202 A water fast is truly what's best. I'm doing cranberry for the next 24hrs then a water fast for the rest of the week to reset the body.

[@elvisedimo5694]

OK so first one needs to ascertain causative agent.
