Cystitis looming

[App1]

I think I’m about to suffer from cystitis shortly if not already started. All the classic symptoms are beginning. I want to nip it in the bud. . Given it is nearly 5 pm onFriday, can anyone advise if it’s ok to take Cystocalm a Sodium citrate otc powder sachets whilst on Levo?... thanks

Yes just don’t take anything within 2 hours of taking levothyroxine

UTI are more common when hypothyroid

Thanks that’s what I thought. Hope to clear it and not get into the nightmare world of antibiotics..".

Hi App1

Have a look at D-Mannose on YouTube- lots if testimonials. I used to be on ABs every few weeks for years then just given a prescription to self medicate. Went onto D-Mannose - life changing. I suffer honeymoon cystitis, so would take just before or slightly after erm well 🤭 you know. Works a treat. Few days of taking if missed early signs or three over 24 hours if organised (yes that’s organised 😂). Works for me! 😊👍

I agree! D-Mannose has been a life saver! However if a UTI does break through I take the CanesOasis sachets for 3 days and drink plenty of cranberry juice which, together with the D-mannose knocks it all on the head pretty well!

Good to know 😊👍

My Pro told me to try D_ Manose and Cranberry as I am allergic to long term Antibiotics . I never got UTI or cystitis on on the above, I stopped it for a few weeks and Got a UTI come back. so I would recommend them both. much better than taking Antibiotics all the time and that way you will not become antibiotic resistant either
