I had a very nasty UTI in June of this year and needed Keflex as it was E Coli. Originally given Trimetheporine for a week but they found the bugs were resistant and it did nothing I ended up with severe pain which would stop me from sleeping.
Since then I have been having symptoms on and off of an irritated bladder and was warned this might happen. I didn't want to take anymore antibiotics for obvious reasons as I always have too many bad bugs whenever I have done a stool test through Genova. Therefore I have opted to take quite high doses of D Mannose as instructed by the Waterfall people. It has been 2 grams about 5 times a day.
However I have developed quite bad bowel symptoms, bloating, lots of rumbling and rolling and feel quite uncomfortable. Yesterday I think I had a bit of a tummy bug because I didn't feel well and haven't felt great today though I am no longer having to go to the toilet frequently.
My question is if you have taken D Mannose did you find it upset your bowels? I do feel there is a connection because when I took it a month ago I had some problem with yeasts. If this is the case then I am wondering what I can do to clear the UTI. At the moment it isn't showing up as an infection when tested but I am still getting some mild burning from time to time.
