Members discussed ways to prevent bladder infections, with many sharing their experiences using D-mannose as a daily preventative, including one member who successfully cleared a UTI with it in just two days while in the hospital. Several members also recommended cranberry capsules, AZO cranberry supplements, apple cider vinegar, and drinking plenty of water as helpful tools, noting that staying consistent with these habits made a real difference. A recurring theme was that finding what works takes some trial and error, but the community found hope in natural and supplement-based options alongside medical guidance.

@A MyMSTeam Member got my d-mannose yesterday. Took the powder and said take 1 teaspoon twice a day. So that is what I did. I can't taste it at all in a 4 oz of water. Thanks for all your input.

I use d-mannose every day as a preventative.
Three years ago when I was in the hospital they told me I had a uti and that I needed to go on antibiotics. Since I did not want to do that I asked if I could try the d-mannnose to see if it would clear up They allowed me to. I used the d-mannose for two days and drank lots of water, and the uti cleared up. I thought it was pretty amazing that they let me try it, and I was thankful that it worked so quickly!

I drink nothing but water. About 40-50 ounces a day. So far never had infection. I'd like to think the water is working
