I have a spinal cord injury that leaves me very susceptible to UTI's. They are predominately e.coli related and come on fast and furious, by the time I detect them it's too late and I have to go get cultured and antibiotics. I dabbled with last minute home remedies: vitamin C megadoses, teas, roots, handful of D-mannose capsules etc, but it's always too little, too late. Last Saturday, I suspected I was getting one and took a few big doses of oregano oil before bed. By morning, I had all the symptoms but not as severely as usual. I have a prescription of oxbutynin, an anti-bladder spasticity medication which keeps the urgency at bay, and committed to spend Sunday trying to fight it off. I decided to go "all in" on D-mannose, relying on widespread anecdotal personal testimonies on the internet. As I understand, it's only effective against e.coli bacteria and safe at high dosages in limited timeframes. By now, I have paired the visual contents of urine with confirmed lab results, I can spot an e.coli infection. I ordered a bag of D-M from Bulk Supplements to arrive Monday and started on a 2g every 2hour regiment of some NOW capsules I had. I was at 102* temp, chills, exhaustion level and seriously considering tapping out like usual. Monday morning, the D-M arrived and I gave myself one more day's effort. [NOW brand D-M is almost powdered sugar in consistancy and sweet, this stuff is granulated and dissolves better in water.] I drank a spoonful with 6 oz water every 2 hours along with 5-6 drops of pure oregano oil as antibacterial booster. On the in-between hour, I drank plenty of water, green tea, cranberry, aloe etc to flush. Eliminated all forms of sugar, kept with soups and moderated my fever with tylenol. Kept it by my bedside and continued on whenever I woke up at night. By Wednesday, I was starting to note a difference. I had low grade 99* temp but feeling better all around. Still had an infection, but could tell it was being kept at bay. By the following Sunday, I was saturated with D-M and went through the entire bag of it. I continued the liquid, anti-sugar regimen, upped my Vit-C, but I have to credit D-M as the first thing that has ever resolved a UTI besides antibiotics. I'm symptom free. I'm ordering another bag and will be adding it to my daily maintenance routine.

Let me be clear that I've had recurrent UTIs of no known cause and have been in pain many times in my life, but UTIs really take the cake. In the period that I've had about 6 UTIs in 4 months (I know, it's crazy, I felt like dying then and I'm glad I'm past that), I used bulk supplements to take down the symptoms to a level 0. My pain was definitely nearing a 7 due to the clenching, burning, aching, and shard-like feeling of the UTI- however, this product mitigated the symptoms when severe. I took a spoonful every hour and it relieved the symptoms until I felt normal again. However, this product cannot completely get rid of the infection, and is therefore a useful product for relieving symptoms but not for curing and getting rid of the bacteria. If you think you have a UTI take this to stop feeling like death but go to the doctor so you don't destroy your kidneys and urethra and your bladder. (And don't take medical advice from strangers on the internet either) It is also an excellent preventative measure. When engaging in activities that may encourage a UTI, taking D-Mannose beforehand is a very effective way to prevent the symptoms from happening. In my situation, I took multiple doses (if possible) afterwards to feel comfortable about my urethra. When I took it consistently after these activities, I rarely got a UTI. Lastly, the taste is excellent. Eating D Mannose is fun. It's very sugary in an "off" way, but it is not unpleasant. It has the consistency of stevia and is half the sweetness of stevia. I think it might be good in tea or coffee too, but I haven't tried it.

This last January I suddenly came down with a fever, severe body aches, and terrible stabbing pain under each rib. I was diagnosed with a uti with the possibility of it being in my kidneys. I was terrified of a hospital visit (the expense) so I asked for the doctor to give me some injections of antibiotics and an oral rx. It seemed to clear up after 10 days of the antibiotics, but after about 3 days from my last dosage, I could tell that I had a uti with the classic burning and pain in lower abdominal area. I went in and they tested and grew a strain that matched the same bacteria as it has from before. I was given a different antibiotic. That one helped a little, but I still was uncomfortable after the 10 days, and the day after my last dose I was feeling really terrible. So, i went back in and they tested to make sure it wasn't an std or anything else going on down there. Everything was fine, but they sample grew back the same bacteria and was even more densely infected than when I had gone in initially. So, I was given monurol (an expensive, one-time dose antibiotic) . That did nothing. I was so scared and depressed by this time thinking that I had an antibiotic resistant uti and would need to get iv antibiotics, and worried about that even working, and thinking about all the damage to my body from these antibiotics. I had been trying other cures too; loads of vitamin c, probiotics, garlic supplements, acv, and dmannose. I obsessively googled information on curing UTI's, which added to the terror of some people's horror stories, but it's also how I discovered a miracle cure (to me). I was not taking enough d mannose to rid myself of the infection. I started taking 1 tsp every 1-3 hours, plus mixing a few teaspoons into a gallon jug of water and drinking throughout the day. Within 2 days i felt wonderful. I was buying the little jars of the stuff from the vitamin Shoppe, and it was getting quite expensive though. I went through about 3-4 jars in about a week, and quit when I ran out. I was feeling great for several months until I was suddenly hit again with body aches, high fever, and flank pain. I almost went to the ER because my fever got to 104.2 and I was getting delirious. The fever finally went down and I knew I needed to find some affordable dmannose in bulk, and found this product. I bought a jar at the store to get me by until this came. It only took 1.5 days to get here. After 2 days of taking tons of the dmannose, my fever and pain was completely gone. I've read that some people get diarrhea and upset stomach when they take d mannose. I did get bloating and pooped a lot (no diarrhea)(sorry for the tmi), but, to me, it was nothing compared to the horrible side effects and destruction to the gut flora and good bacteria that the antibiotics cause. I am so happy and relieved that I just want to tell everyone about it. Fortunately, for the people in my life, nobody I know had issues with UTI's though, so I have nobody to share my exciting discovery with who can truly appreciate it. I mean, I can't even explain the relief of not having to worry if I'm going to die from complications from an antibiotic resistant uti, or go into horrible debt from medical bills trying to cure it, or causing horrible damage to my body and changing my health and quality of life forever from the overuse of antibiotics. I read a lot of awful stories of these things happening to people. Anyways, what I'm getting at is that I'm not a big review-writer, and I am only sharing this to help other people because this has helped me out so much.

I'll begin with the confession that I don't write reviews- that's how important I find reviewing this product to be. I am a chronic sufferer of UTIs; after sex, if I'm dehydrated, if my pants are too tight, if I drink too much coffee, if the day ends in Y, I'm going to get one. At 28 years old, I believe I have the beginnings of interstitial cystitis simply from all of the UTIs that I've logged. It absolutely cripples your quality of life. I've been on antibiotics to treat as well as prevent UTIs for years, and they have become less effective for me (which is terrifying). I gave up coffee (my favorite), soda, I limit alcohol to an almost non-existent amount (hard for a 28 year old with a job that is primarily to entertain people), and even started cutting out gluten as I've heard that it can also irritate IC. All of these things have helped, but D-Mannose is now something I cannot be without. I get a twinge on a daily basis just waking up, so I take a teaspoon in water every morning and night and it's started to completely eradicate that feeling. It's amazing! For preventing UTIs and getting rid of discomfort, it's great. When I have a UTI, this will also get rid of it; it just takes a few days. I have to be drinking it with water basically all day, which gives me terrible gastrointestinal issues (hence the 4 star review) but in all fairness, I don't know if it's this product or if it's the nature of D-Mannose in general. I pop an azo and start drinking this stuff and I start feeling better by the first day, and the UTI is usually completely gone by day 5 and then I go back to my maintenance dose. If you are a chronic sufferer of UTIs or have IC, there is hope that doesn't involve a doctor bill or an antibiotic! I cannot even explain how many times I've gone to bed and thanked God for this product. I'll never be without it again for the rest of my life.
