User Reviews for d-mannose

I am taking D-Mannatose with Cranberry extract for about 4 days now. This morning I am shocked at how tired I am! I literally can hardly move! I could fall down I am so weak and I am scared. Has anyone else had this problem. I am medicine sensitive

Having suffered from uti's since childhood, right through childbirth, menopause and beyond my daughter reccommened D-Mannose. Being a real sceptic I was suspicious of miracle cures. But just a few days ago I got the UTI twinges, grabbed the D-Mannose and got it down me. The doctor confirmed I had an infection and prescribed an anti-biotic which I've just started taking as I don't want to mess with a kidney infection thank you very much! The difference of the d-mannose is that I haven't had any pain at all, or the depression that comes with the beginning of the onset. So, to sum up, I do think it is very effective. As I write I am in day 2 of the UTI, feeling perky and pain free allowing the antibiotics to get going and get rid of it. Don't think I'll ever be free of it but at least I'm pretty sure I'll cope.Read More Read Less

I've used mannose for decades to control my urinary tract infections and it works great. If I start feeling the onset of an infection, I start taking the mannose and it starts relieving the symptoms fairly rapidly. I take it for 3 or 4 days and no more infection. It's unusual for me to get an infection anymore and I no longer have to go to a doctor and take antibiotics. I think it's nearly miraculous.

I have BPH and it ruined my bladder. Because I have a neurogenic bladder I had to catheterize myself for five times a day to get the urine out. That worked well for a while, but now I have to wear a Foley catheter all the time. Because of this, I have constant urinary infections that never go away. And taking antibiotics continuously is a problem in itself. So I have to live with the Foley catheter forever. My urine is always cloudy and full of clumps and the pain is terrible. There is no way to take antibiotics all the time without running into a drug resistant organism. D mannose is the only product that has suppressed the urinary infections and helped me to feel better. Now my urine is clear and my pain is gone. Best product ever. I take 2 teaspoons per day at 2 grams per dose. I don’t take it with food or any kind of juice, just in plain water. I find food interferes with the effectiveness of it.Read More Read Less

Due to menopause I’ve had water infections continuously, trying to avoid antibiotics as I’m allergic to most and feel unwell taking them..I’ve just finished a course After treatment of antibiotics ,within days it was back and it was feeling unwell again I turned to this product and within days I felt better I bought uti test and it was gone I’ve continued to take one at night and no more being woken with extreme urges to get to the loo I’ve recommended to my daughters who are in their 20s30s who have similar problems I’ve always suffered I can honestly say this is a massive game changer for me im 59 and a slight uti can knock me completely off my feet Read More Read Less

I've been dealing with UTIs for years, infection after infection, taking antibiotics almost every month. My doctor suggested a low dosis of antibiotics for a long period of time - 6 months to a year - to which I said no way and decided to try this supplement. I am taking it everyday for about a month now and so far no infection, yeeeyyy!! No adverse reaction at all. My mother also suffers from UTIs, not as chronic as mine but at least twice a year. I just gave it to her this morning and she is already feeling much better in the afternoon without taking any antibiotic. It has worked magically for both of us (at least the brand we purchased).

Has anyone had an allergy reaction . It make me feel very sick . Itching skin and heartburn ??

This product works for me but i find if i take it before bed i have nightmares. Has anyone else experienced this?

Male with usual BPH symptoms and trouble emptying bladder. You know when an infection begins you start getting back pain and increased urgency. I have found in the early days D-Mannose worked superbly, but thats when my infection was due to just E-Coli and it worked like a dream. But 6 years ago I had to have a catheter fitted temporarily. This led to more complex infections. I am allergic to most antibiotics except nitrofurotoin which I only use sparingly if things get silly. So, in addition to D-Mannose I take 1 clove of fresh garlic, crushed and left to oxidise for 5 minutes and mixed with whatever to mask taste. It works within 1-2 hours. It helps to make sure your bladder is as empty as you can make it. Sit on the toilet, legs slightly apart, spine curved inwards and lean forward allowing lower abdomen to press and squeeze on bladder and feel urine drain. Get up, gyrate hips and repeat until every drop is out. D-Mannose plus fresh garlic plus toilet routine together with drinking at least 100ml of plain water every hour sorts it.Read More Read Less

affected my ability to stay vertical. fell face first into the floor 3 times in 3 minutes. after 6 days, my bms still affected. bowel movements came pouring out of me so badly that my underwear could not handle them. my body and face are bruised.

I've only been on these for about 6 days now and I haven't had a uti just yet I used to get them every month then they decided to start coming every 2 weeks which is very annoying my urologist nurse told me about D-mannose and I was so scared to take them at first (well really I couldn't afford them until I thought to myself I need to get my self some and since ive been on them i feel like they are working like a treat I've had no sypmptoms which is amazing but I have noticed since ive been on these after taking them i do go the toliet alot after taking it. Is that normal or is it a sign that my body is telling me no? Read More Read Less

It helped to relieve my chronic UTI

After four lots of antibiotics, I would finish one lot, two days later the smelly urine, stomach pains and back pains were wack. This has been on going for months. I then discovered D-Mannose and after two days of taking it, I have no symptoms at all. So happy, unbelievable.

Cured my recurrent UTIs. Definitely a game charger for me. At the first sign of a UTI I take the recommended dose and within 1 day no more urgency or pain. Highly recommend.

All my life I've had multiple UTI's per year. Since total hysterectomy in 2009, I had constantly. Was put on Macrodantin for suppression. I also have IBS. The constant explosive diarrhea that came from the antibiotics were unbearable. I started taking 600 MG. D-mannose twice a day in pill form. Had no UTI for 6 months. Ran out of pills and got one in 2 weeks. I will not run out of them again. It also does not seem to be affecting my colon in any way. No extra gas or diarrhea beyond my normal IBS attacks.Read More Read Less

Had a course of antibiotics that did nothing for me but cause a yeast infection and unhappy belly. On day two of trying d-mannose and I'm finally getting some relief

This has changed my life, but a word to the wise... don't take too much or you will suffer PAINFUL gas like you never thought possible. I have E-coli, which is nearly impossible to eliminate. I take D-mannose at the slightest hint of a UTI. I also eliminated white sugar from my diet. Don't give up on this if you suffer unwanted side-effects. Lower the dose and try again. It's miraculous.

I have suffered from UTIs my whole life. I couldn't wear jeans.... ever. I had to wear dresses when sitting for any length of time. Soap, sex,tampons, hot tubs all caused me trouble. I now take the supplement as needed when "that feeling" starts. I also take as a preventative when wearing pants (including jeans!) or when traveling. No more restrictions or fears of having to go to the urgent care on vacation!

I feel like many of us don’t understand how much plants and natural remedies can affect us. I decided to take D-Mannose pills after and urologist prescribed me antibiotics for frequent urination, even if the analysis came out fine. After reading the side effects of the antibiotics, I decided to try mannose first. I paid a lot of money to get it imported from the USA to my country, and began taking 2 500mg pills a day. It seemed fine, so I increased the dosage to 3 pills. A few hours later I was in a lot of pain. The inflammation in my stomach was so bad that it reached my back and couldn’t even sit down. Also, the urine became bright yellow. I stopped the mannose but ever since, I get stomach aches after each meal and I developed acid reflux. I also get cystitis episodes, in which I end up peeing up to 8 times in less than 2 hrs. I’m very angry at myself for taking this and making things much worse. I hope my experience helps somebody.Read More Read Less

Suggested by urologist, and it does prevent UTI's when used consistently. How much to use varies from Dr. to packaging. Reading here how people increase dosage without advise other than their own. Azo makes a product with a high dose recommendation. Cranberry is not necessary ingredient. Best to start as s preventative at 500-750mg day. Drink 8oz water with it Probably good to take after sex, or i found important after any diarreah. Can increase dosage to 2 or 3x day if uti is suspected Take for a few days til symptoms subside. Recommended to me by Dr to continue for up to a week. If symptoms do not begin to subside in a couple days seek help from doctor. Helpful is not to become dyhydrated. A probiotic of lactobacillis and reuteri, or one with multiple probiotic types is helpful to the pelvic region too, for females. Read More Read Less
