Hello! I have been getting requests (which is so exciting in and of itself!) for a UTI update video addressing my current regimen and answering frequently asked questions. I do my best to answer some of my FAQs in this video, but I also made a blog post answering not only the questions proposed here, but also a few others I’d say count as FAQs!

✩ Did you wake up at night to take the D-mannose? 13:05
✩ Did you change what you were eating or drinking while trying to cure your acute UTI with D-mannose?
I didn’t change what I was drinking or eating. I still drank coffee and tea, and ate citrusy foods. However, other than UTIs, I don’t think my bladder is very sensitive. Some fluids and foods can be irritating to some people’s bladders (coffee, tea, (even decaf), alcohol, and carbonated beverages are universal irritants), so if you have a sensitive bladder, you can try steering clear of said fluids/foods while you are trying to cure an acute UTI-this just doesn’t seem to apply to my bladder. I also didn’t change how much I was drinking; however, I do try to drink 1.5 - 2 liters of water per day regardless of an infection. I’m also at altitude here in CO!
✩ I tried to cure an acute UTI with the d-mannose, and it made my symptoms better but they are still there. How long should I take the d-mannose before getting antibiotics? 13:51
→ Study mentioned: www.ncbi.nlm.n...
→ “…women with recurrent cystitis can accurately self-diagnose and self-treat UTI as accurately as any physician.”
✩ What else do you to prevent UTIs besides using D-mannose? 15:02
✩ Is D-mannose safe for diabetics? 15:51
✩ I heard prolonged use of d-mannose causes kidney infections, damage, and even failure. Are you worried about your kidneys? 16:13
✩ D-mannose isn’t working for me, why? 16:58
Other FAQs Not Addressed In The Video:
✩ Where do you buy the powder?
I buy my KAL powder from Amazon, but if you google “KAL D-mannose Powder,” it looks like many online and physical stores sell it!
✩ Is your friend with the spinal cord injury still using d-mannose and how much does she take?
Yes, my friend with the SCI still uses d-mannose. Last I checked, she uses the pills, and takes one serving in the morning and one before bed.
✩ Is it okay to take the d-mannose and antibiotics?
I have in the past without an issue, but you should ask your prescribing physician.
✩ Will d-mannose interact with my birth control?
While I am no longer on hormonal birth control, I took d-mannose while taking the pill and had no issues or change in efficacy. That being said, check with the physician who prescribes your birth control!
✩ Is this regimen safe if I am pregnant?
I have not used d-mannose while pregnant, so I cannot speak to this personally. Ask your physician!
✩ Do you notice you have food sensitivities related to your UTIs?
No! Some foods can irritate some people’s bladders, but this has not been an issue for me to my knowledge.
✩ How much water do you drink?
1.5 - 2 liters per day.
