My 77-year-old mom has been getting recurring UTIs that are getting worse and it seems like antibiotics are really disrupting her natural flora. I have read up on D Mannose and feel like this might be helpful. Can anyone recommend a good D Mannose brand?

Mom needs to drink plenty of water. I use Huggy wipes to make sure I am clean. No soap near the urethra. I have a handheld shower head I use to clean that area. White cotton panties. She also needs to void completely, which gets harder as we age. I have found I need to sit a few seconds longer and then I get the urge again. If she leans forward that helps too and push.

Once I took Mom off of the C-Mementine the UTI's stopped in their tracks.
Sorry to be so graphic but check her tp brand; some are like razor blades to tender tissues and bacteria can get a foothold.
Baby Aquafor (for diaper rash) can help with that. I use it regularly.
I’ve been UTI free ever since.
That's me.
