Treatment
For a quadriplegic like myself some of us have to pay the price of bladder infections but as long as there is a solution that makes it great. I'm putting this information here and because it took me a long while to find it out for myself and maybe there's somebody out there that is in my situation or at least anyone that is experiencing bladder infection issues this might be help because has definitely helped me.
I have had lots of bladder infections because I have been indwelling catheter. It got to the point where I was getting a bladder infection one week after stopping whatever antibiotic I was currently using. I went to an infectious disease specialist and he told me that all of the procedures that I was using regarding hygiene and keeping everything clean was all but I could do. This led me to a search of the Internet and of friends that might have some ideas. Eventually I found something that would work for me. I still get bladder infections but they're not as often and if I get a mild one all I do is increase the dosage of the two different items I am using.
The two items are:
d-mannose http://www.healingtherapies.info/D-Mannose.htm and http://www.d-mannose-utislip.com/index.asp
Probiotiacidophilus and bifidus http://www.customprobiotics.com/
Dosage for me
I have found that taking two of the probiotic bacteria three times a day and d-mannose three pills three times a day has been sufficient for me. When I have signs of a bladder infection I kick up the d-mannose to three pills for times a day. You will have to see what works for you but after I do this it generally takes two days for the problem to clear up and I am on my way. The longest period so far for me has been 20 weeks with no infection that needed to be treated by an antibiotic. Just remember that I could only go a week prior to finding these two natural products.
