[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1061556, member: 211362"] No, I've not tried that, although I do use probiotics in capsule form. I'm not supposed to eat yoghurt, so not sure kefir would be good as it is a type of yoghurt isn't it as it's fermented? I'd say if it is fermented it would have acids in it. I've also had people recommend I try mannose as well but that is also used to treat carbohydrate deficiency and it is derived straight from glucose which means that it would raise sugar levels, so not a good option either. But as mentioned normal remedies don't work because I live with constant uti symptoms every single day since mid 2013. I don't get any break. My doctor has decided he needs to do a urinalysis on me every couple of weeks to make sure I don't have infections. This time I happen to have one again. But equally I get 'flares' with the bladder condition and they are painful too. I was placed on a 6 month antibiotic preventative course last year and I managed to stop getting any bacterial infections for a while. As my doc said to me yesterday, I go through periods of uti's then periods without although I'm still in pain the entire time no matter what. But every time I have a urinalysis done it comes back with high leucocytes which is considered to be an abnormal test result. I've had so many different type of tests though. It's just something they don't know the cause of and therefore they struggle to treat it. I do my part by avoiding trigger foods and being careful not to do activities that aggravate my symptoms. But just grocery shopping does that for me usually. It is very annoying and I apparently only have a mild case of the disease. Some others with this disease are in the later stage of it and experience severe pain and they're bedridden. Apparently the pain of this condition is equal to stage 4 cancer patients pain. I've met a few online who have had to have their bladders removed because the disease has destroyed their bladders. I'm hoping and praying the disease doesn't progress on me.
