Exploring Supplement Options for Recurring Strep and UTI Infections

A discussion on dealing with frequent strep and UTI infections, exploring various supplements like probiotics, cranberry extract, D-Mannose, vitamin C, and garlic. Highlights the importance of consulting a healthcare professional to determine the best approach for individual needs.

  • Strep in gut
    Tried so many antibiotics as well oregano and I keep getting strep vaginal infections/utis. Not sure what else to do.

  • I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing. When recurring infections are an issue, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice. In terms of potential supplements that could support overall gut and urinary health, some options might include:

    1. Probiotics: These can help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut and urinary tract, potentially reducing the recurrence of infections1.

    2. Cranberry Extract: This is often used to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) by making it more difficult for bacteria to adhere to the walls of the urinary tract2.

    3. D-Mannose: A type of sugar that might prevent certain bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract, helping to reduce the risk of UTIs3.

    4. Vitamin C: It can acidify urine, potentially inhibiting bacterial growth4.

    5. Garlic Supplements: Known for its antimicrobial properties, garlic can help in managing bacterial infections5.

    Each of these supplements works in different ways, and their effectiveness can vary from person to person. It would be best to discuss these options with your healthcare provider to ensure they are appropriate for your specific situation and to avoid any interactions with other treatments you might be receiving.

    Please consult a healthcare professional for accurate diagnosis and safe treatment options tailored to your health needs.
