Hi, I was diagnosed with an E Coli uti back in May. Took a week for the doc to take me seriously and was very unpleasent. Had no pain,burning, blood etc . Still to this day I have symptoms I have had keflex, nitrofurotion, co amoxclav and now cipro. No infection present in samples now so in for a blood test tomorrow for psa levels. Has anyone had similar to this as it is draining me and making me extremely anxious.

    Find D mannose..Yiu can purchase online. Stay on antibiotic until it finishes  drink plenty of water. Also AZO to clean out infection.

    I second what Caterina said. 

    D-mannose has been a life saver for me!

    There are multiple scientific studies (do a quick search for d-mannose on pubmed) in peer reviewed journals showing that its as effective if not more effective than preventative antibiotics for recurrent UTIs with fewer side effects.

    It works by binding to e. coli in your bladder and flushing it out of your system.

    Lots of folks recommend the powder but I found this chocolate that actually is sweetened exclusively with d-mannose and is delicious and easy to carry around called Dose (www.dosechocolate.com). Highly recommend!

    Good luck + hope you feel better!
