Thank for sharing your experiences with d Mannose. Be aware that this can elevate blood sugar so diabetics should be cautious.

Someone here help my memory, but isn't there are a relationship to declining estrogen and UTI among aging females?

Any guidance on keeping a healthy uninary tract with advancing age or any age.

D-mannose capsules or powder 1500mg/day - or as close to that total as possible.

I have a history of urological and nephrological issues and chronic UTI"s is one of them.  Also, stay as hydrated as possible.

I swear by D Mannose as well. If I feel a little more ahem urgent than usual, I get out the D Mannose and take it for a few days and it clears right up.

(Of course, if I didn't catch it right away or it didn't go away I would go get an antibiotic prescription at the doc.) Waiting is a bad idea.

@Porcelain : good to hear it's worked for you and I agree re: the doc and RX.

I've taken D-Mannose daily for years to help prevent UTI's and am thankful it's a safe supplement.

My stepmother had them chronically and told me she finally got some help from an old country doctor. 1 large tablespoon of baking soda to a warm 8 oz. glass of water. I used this any time I had a problem...right away and it has never failed me. Only took her many doctors, years and 20,000 dollars to get that free advice.

Good news! President Clinton has been released from hospital.

The last few times I've seen photos or videos of him, I thought he looked fragile. Some newsreader mentioned he's had heart surgery a few years ago and that might have contributed to that fragile look. And he's no spring chicken either; he's in his...70's?...now.

Since leaving the White House in 2001, Clinton has had a series of heart problems. He underwent a quadruple heart bypass operation to relieve severely clogged arteries in 2004, according to NBC news. He later had another heart procedure to insert two stents into a coronary artery in 2010.
