D mannose not working like it used to

[Onfire]

I’ve get cystitis occasionally and used to be straight to the go for antibiotics

About 5 years ago I’d heard about d mannose and it was life changing. Would work so quickly as soon as I felt the first telltale signs.

9 days ago that happened and so I took some of my d mannose capsules and although it’s not turned into a full blown cystitis attack where I’m in agony, it’s definitely not clearing it and I’m going to have to resort to prescription antibiotics

Has anyone had the same experience with d mannose?

What is D mannose?

Have you been taking it when you get a flare up or as maintenance twice a week?

Are you anywhere near menopause? That massively increased my UTIs, HRT solved the problem.

I thought d-mannose was something you should take regularly to ward off utis, etc., especially if you're prone to them. I'm not sure it can always overcome existing infections on its own.

Not menopausal (I think) but breastfeeding (although not often now) and wondering if that’s not helping matters as I’ve generally not been right in that area for months
