Get thee to a Vitamin Shoppe and you'll be feeling better in no time!
Can you tell me more about this? I have a full-blown infection right now. I'm assuming these are preventatives?
I was going to PM you on FB to send you the link ...
Basically, D-Mannose is a sugar and if the infection is from E Coli, which most UTIs are, the bacteria will latch onto the sugars and you will elmininate the infection at the same time.
If you can get some today, I would double up on doses and you should start to feel relief. I like the D-Mannose/cranberry blend.

@Spurt well, the order sat for a day or two, then took a tour of Georgia before it sped through Ohio.
I'm old enough to remember the days of ordering something from a catalogue that advised it could take 6 to 8 weeks to receive the order.
When I think about those days I guess I shouldn't be crabby about something taking up to 10 days

Thank you for the suggestion. If you don't mind answering a couple more questions - is this something I can take regularly to avoid frequent UTI's? Are there side effects?

Well, I'm not a medical doctor, but yes, you can take it daily as a way to prevent, (assuming that there is no risk for diabetes), as it is a natural sugar.

I will be looking for one of these!

You're not a medical doctor? Why not work in med school in your spare time, lol?
Thank you for the advice.
