D MANNOSE 500MG 120CAPS by now

Ok, I'll try and keep this short. In Feb 2006 I started to get UTIs - it was once a month and then non-stop until Oct 2007. The Dr suggested it was also Over-active-bladder (OAB) too- although I personally thing the UTI caused the OAB - I was 31 at the time. I was sent to Urologists for tests etc....and I tried D Mannose in powder form but it didn't really work - I think it was hard to get the correct amount and drinking it was not fun. I then became pregnant and the UTIs and OAB stopped bizarrely...so I didn't proceed with medical tests. Moving on 8 years and 2014-15 my OAB bouts were getting more persistent and slowly my UTI returned. I tried taking an antibiotic every time after s*x which helped for a year and then I got resistant and tried another......then it ended up I had to take an antibiotic every day to prevent UTIs and I would still get bouts of OAB...after building up resistance and changing to different ones I then got continual thrush which the Drs couldn't get rid off and despite taking a Thrush treatment tablet and pessaries it stayed - the pharmacist said to me a) the tablets won't work as the thrush will remain until you stop taking antibiotics and b) the thrush tablets can damage your liver with long term use!Ok, so November 2016 I started researching D Mannose again and found some hospitals are recommending it. I mentioned it to my Dr who was a bit dismissive and then prescribed me some more antibiotics for another UTI..so I ordered these capsules. I started taking 2 a day along side the 7 day course of antibiotics. I am now down to just 2 D Mannose a day, i still take an antibiotic every time after s*x but will drop that in the next few weeks, and the Thrush which has plagued me for a year has gone!!! I haven't had an episode of OAB since taking the capsules.I know this is still early days but my life has really changed from constantly finding loos all the time due to the OAB - I can go for hours now and I feel so much confident that I'm not filling myself up with antibiotics after antibiotics and thrush treatment! -GOOD LUCK!Remember this will only work if your UTI is caused by E-Coli.

This is my 4th bout of uti in 2 months, after 3 lots of antibiotics, I was hesitant to go back for more, so decided to wait the latest attack out, trying everything ie cranberry juice, loads of water, cutting out alcohol, coffee, spicy food and sugar etc, the pain did decrease as a result, but I was still going to the toilet 5 times a night and about 25 times through the day, with cloudy and small amounts being excreted. Then after doing my research about D-mannose, and seeing the reviews of this product on Amazon I ordered some for next day delivery. I wanted to hug the postman when they arrived as the anticipation levels of not being in pain were high! They arrived well packaged and promptly by 11am the next day. I proceeded to take 3 capsules immediately, yes they are large capsules, but they go down easily, in fact all 3 went down in one go! I then took another 3 another 3 times through the day and by bedtime I was feeling like the pain levels and need to go had decreased. This night was different to the previous 6, in that I only woke once and the pain on passing water had dramatically decreased, even the cloudiness had gone! No pain after either. The next day I took another 3, 4 times, and although there is still a slight stinging when I go, it is free flowing and clear still. I honestly can't believe this has worked so well, and I will continue to keep this post updated as to how things are. Why had I never heard of D-Mannose before? Even Holland & Barrett don't stock it. Surely doctors should be promoting natural products rather than overuse of Antibiotics that aren't working. Yes they are £15, but for 120, that's potentially 12 days worth (recommended dosage for uti is 9 capsules a day but I took 12), to be fair prescription isn't much less these days, and it's definately worth the money for less pain and inconvenience. I will be singing the praises of this product from the rooftops, and really hoping the effects continue as other reviewers say it does.

Had cystitis for about a week when I ordered these tablets. Have taken regularly for a week and symptoms seem to have cleared up. I took a test yesterday and it says that the infection has cleared. I also found that while I was healing the symptoms were significantly reduced, so that I only needed one cranberry powder each day.Took a little while longer to work than I had hoped, so for other users I would recommend taking it every three hours for the first few days and making sure you don't drink too much water (no more than one glass) whilst it's doing its magic, and not too little, either. Taking in the night is also helpful as urine becomes more acidic at that time (helps you avoid the painful morning wee!)I felt a little bloated after taking them but this was nothing compared to the hell that anti-biotics do to my stomach and body.In theory, a study on D-mannose proved that around 80-85% of women with cystitis who took it recovered completely. Those are pretty good stats. And considering my experience, I'd say definitely worth it. Also a good idea if you want to use as a general preventer of future attacks - can be taken around the time you have sex or whatever else triggers it.This product seems expensive, but you get a lot of tablets that will last you for a good while. Overall, I'd definitely buy again and reccommend to a friend who wants to avoid using anti-biotics for a serial attacks of the awful fire-disease.
