utiproblems... resistant to most antibiotics now and then I discovered that taking 6000 - 8000 mg if vitamin C with rosehips daily has cleaned out my urinary tract within a few days to the point of having had a white discharge that is now gone and everything feels healthy again the way it use to before I kept getting all these uti's. I heard years ago that drinking lemon juice daily would do this but for me that wasn't enough and the vit. c in large doses is doing it. I was praying for a natural solution and sofar have not had another uti. I have been on a 4000 mg a day maintenance dose after the intial 1 week high dose. It can cause diarrhia but one can take something for that untill you get to a lower dose
Urinary Tract Infection - I suffered from uti's for many years and tried everything out there, am?

My Dr. told me to try the vitamin C but it did exactly what the antibiotics do to me. (diarrhia) and the cranberry pills do the same thing. I feel like anything that can help me, just causes another problem. I have been drinking nothing but water, and doing everything eles they say to prevent them. But it has been a very bad 2 1/2 years of monthly UTI's.

I have tried the vitamin C but not the other things the only other things that I have tried is the Urologist told me to buy Northland Cranberry Juice and to drink about 8 ounces a day, she says that it is pure Cranberry Juice and also says that's another reason that it is more expensive. I use to have the UTI's so bad that I had to be hospitalized and have injectable/Intravenous antibiotics and my Colony counts were at least 100,000 they say that is pretty signifigant. I hope that you continue to do well I think I will add what you are using I do not want these to ever return like they once were. I wish you the very best

Caringsonbj, My counts are always 100,000 also. Do you get your UTI's often? My doctors make me feel like the only patient they have ever seen that gets these monthly like me. I just wish there was an answer why? They said the next thing will be to do IV antibiotics at home, and i hope it does not come to that. Thanks, Adeline

Uti... thanks for the info. I will keep it n my quiver.
Just curious... how are u exactly "resistant" to most antibiotics? Just curious because there r really good ones out there for utis... depending on what bacteria is seen on analysis... like Macrodantin, Bactrim, levaquin(strong).
But keeping a healthy bladder environment is, of course, the best way to prevent. Drink tons of Water, drinking things that maintain a proper acidic pH and good bathroom technique (wiping front to back)--- sorry... TMI?? and another thing that is definitely TMI!! are all good ways of prevention... I know u want to b as natural as u can and it seems as though the rose hips w/ C is working... good info. Anyway... that is my two cents... stay well...

I just joined this group... I have had UTI's for about 1 year and 3 months, I have tried all the different anibiotics that first my OBGYN , later my Primay Care, and now my Urologist has perscribed, and my UTI's keep coming back. I try anything that anyone tells me to try. I have never heard of Vitamin C! Thanks for the advice, I will run out to the Vitamin Store and buy some. Is there a certain brand that you recommend?

I would just ask at the vitamin store for the best Vitamin C. I also have the same problem with UTI's and i have talked to alot of people that have taken the vitamin C and it really helped them. My doctor suggested it for me, but i had severe stomach "issues" with it and i had to stop. Then they suggested Cranberry pills but that did the same thing to me. Its worth a try, hope it works for you.

Only get the buffered vitamin C as the other kind can cause problems.

After many years of UTI's, my doctor recommended a simple solution that has stopped all the infections permanently. Hygiene is vital to clearing up these types of infections. I am disabled and showering is a bit of a chore but it has cleared up all the yeast and other bacterial infections which plagued me for so long. Washing with a cloth does help but not as we'll as a warm, soapy shower every day. I also use an over the counter 2% yeast ointment around the skin folds where my legs attach to my body. Like magic, the UTIs are gone. Good luck to all.

Try taking anti diarrhea meds initially until the vitamin C has cleaned your tubes. The urine has to be acidic to avoid bateria growth and that's what vit. C and cranberry juice helps with.
I will try the Vitamin C again,with Imodium.
good, of course adjust the dosage to what works best for you as you may not need to use as much as I did to get the same results.
I have bought a product called cleartract... is all natural with d-mannose... I also take an antibiotic called nitrofuronton (sp?)
Hello. Yes, I have been trying the Vitamin C as well. I heard great things about Vitamin C and what it fights. I don't have discharge or infection that I know of. However, given the past occurrences of infection... I get paranoid. A few weeks back, I started to have this slight fizzy feeling from time to time. It's like a soft cloth gently brush across my penis (kinda tickles)... In summary, I know that is not a norm for me. So I bought some 1000mg Vitamin C with Rose Hips. given the past comments, I need to increase the dosage. I usually do 2000mg a day. I also bought (Cat's Claw) known as Uncaria tomentosa. These two in combo are very good. I'll let you know if the tickle goes away in a few weeks. I am all about natural remedies. I am also studying to become a Dietician.
