UTI kept returning despite 3 courses of antibiotics. I called a doctor I knew in Sacrament who specializes in natural remedies. He told me about D-mannose and sent some to me over-night. I started taking it on a Tuesday. By Wednesday the pain was gone. By Thursday the pressure was gone. I kept taking it for two more days. The UTI left and did not come back.

UTI kept returning despite 3 courses of antibiotics. I called a doctor I knew in Sacrament who specializes in natural remedies. He told me about D-mannose and sent some to me over-night. I started taking it on a Tuesday. By Wednesday the pain was gone. By Thursday the pressure was gone. I kept taking it for two more days. The UTI left and did not come back. Several years later my husband contracted a UTI while we were on vacation. I gave him D-Mannose and the symptoms abated in one day. He continued for 4 days and returned home healthy. Now he is in his late 60's and has a problem holding his urine. By taking a daily supplement of D-Mannose, that problem is avoided.

For the typical symptoms of a Bladder infection, I took D-Mannose from Swanson Vitamins 700mg capsules. My regimen was - 3 capsules 4X per day for three days. Then days four and five took - 3 capsules 3X per day. Day six - 2 capsules 3X per day until 60 count bottle was finished. I also drank several glasses of water everyday. By day three after following my regimen above no more blood in urine ... Show Full Comment

By day three after following my regimen above no more blood in urine (which was very slight) and the burning after urinating went away. The urge to urinate and all the other symptoms above were completely gone by day 7. I am grateful that D-Mannose indeed worked and I didn't need to resort to antibiotics. I had absolutely zero side effects.

I'm a young woman (21 years old) and I'd been getting urinary tract infections once a week for a year and a half. My urologist prescribed antibiotics once a day but that didn't help, so I saw a naturalpath who suggested D-Mannose and it has helped me tremendously. I now only get an infection once a month but slowly it has gotten so much better. I treat my infections with it as well and it works just as good as antibiotics (and doesn't damage my immune system afterwords) but I suggest if you do that you speak to a naturalpath first. Honestly if you're considering D-Mannose I would 100% suggest it, and I would also suggest seeing a naturalpath as I found my family doctor and urologist only believed in antibiotic use and were completely ignorant to it!! I definitely know how painful chronic infections are - it can't hurt to try it. And I guarantee positive results if taken correctly.

For over 40 years I've taken antibiotics for reoccuring UTI's to the point of being told by a specialist to have a restricted diet and spend a fortune on a medicine that didn't work. I read about D-Mannose online and thought that it had harmless ingredients and was worth trying. I've not had a UTI since using it- over 5 months.

For over 40 years I've taken antibiotics for reoccuring UTI's to the point of being told by a specialist to have a restricted diet and spend a fortune on a medicine that didn't work. I read about D-Mannose online and thought that it had harmless ingredients and was worth trying. I've not had a UTI since using it- over 5 months. At the same time I also started taking Prelief which removes most of the acid from foods that were formerly taboo such as tomatoes, onions and wine. My Primary doctor scoffs at me taking these products, saying it must be a placebo effect. I told him its safer taking these products than more antibiotics which are not advised for older women.
