    Hello! I have been getting requests for a UTI update video addressing my current regimen and answering frequently asked questions. I do my best to answer some of my FAQs in this video, but I also made a blog post answering not only the questions proposed here, but also a few others I’d say count as FAQs!

      There are two treatments to UTI aside from taking d-mannose,UVA-ursi, marshmallow rootfrequently(which it didn't cure my condition, it just maintains it)
      1) high dose introvenous vitamin C(IVC 75grams at a 1gm/min infusion rate), I did that frequently more than recommended frequency, I did 3 days in a row with single day rests(3days, 1day rest, 3day, 1 day rest,...)
      2) vaccines, I haven't tried this one yet, called FimCH, ExPEC4V
      3)antibiotics are not a cure

      Pelvic Empowerment hi Tory, just wanted to let you know I finally beat the dread chronic UTI I had for the last two years. Turns out I was resistant to macrobid, then tried cipro and did not do the trick either. So I started doing ginger and turmeric shots twice a day, plus the d-mannose, probiotics and enzymes to help me digest food as well. Aldo a clean diet as much as I could. It took a while but I did this religiously everyday up until a few days go. Still doing d-mannose once a day, probiotics and enzymes. Will give ginger shots a break for about to weeks and then start again.

      BTW I am a male and have no idea how I got my infection, never had a UTI in my life, then one day I am in sepsis, still battling the infection, antibiotics work fine, but as soon as I am off, it comes back done 3 cycles of Antibiotics, so not taking them again, using all the natural treatments I can, I seem to have it under control, but still have it.
      D-mannose latest research says it does not have any benefit, that was in a double blind trial, I am still going to take it, i still think it has potential specially if you combine it with a extremely low carb diet.

    I found another video from a Functional Med Dr and he said to take 1 tsp D Mannose for an acute infection every 2 hrs the first day, every 3 hrs the second day, and every 4 hrs the third day. I tried it after not having a uti for 25 years and just recently got one and it worked super well. I figured out that eating a low carb diet and intermittent fasting helped immensely as well as sugar and carbs are NOT my friend! Thank you Tori for all the info.

    I’ve been dealing with chronic UTI’s for almost three years now. I can’t even count how many doctors visits, specialists ive seen and antibiotics I’ve been put on. Each time a UTI would occur, the feeling of depression and hopelessness would come over me. It caused me to miss work and lose my overall quality of life. After consistently taking D Mannose in pill form I was UTI free for about 7 months which was unheard of for me. Unfortunately I am experiencing a flare up right now and am so upset due to the success I was having. Seeing this video about the powder immediately had me purchase it online. This is the first video I’ve come across that I’ve truly identified with and mirrors what I’m going through. Thank you for bringing a little peace of mind to my day 😭

    Hi Tori, I know I've told you this before....but you saved my life with D-Mannose. Just wanted to thank you again. I was in a world of hurt until my DMannose arrived by Amazon. I don't say this lightly Tori. I am a cancer survivor, SLE disabled me 20 yrs ago and lifelong Crohn's, lifelong! So at 60 I've lived on steroids more than not. My bladder irregular shape doesn't drain completetly and I get a UTI everytime I catheterize....ugh I QUIT doing that and drink more water and take DMannose daily. I would rather die than self-catheterize so THANK YOU. I was going out of my mind iving on antibiotics and having it raise hell with my Crohn's..... You are an angel. Keep doing what you're doing please. God Bless You!

      Be sure to use 100% cranberry with no sugar added. You can also add a Tbsp. Of apple cider vinegar with a mother because it is a powerful antimicrobial to fight fungus and bacterial infections. Refrain from bathing and shower instead. Avoid baths because it can be an irritant due to the soap in the bath water. Just wash the area with plain water.

It took several months, if I remember correctly, for it to finally work, but it did. She has not had an infection for two years, or the last time I had written to you. She has a bottle of D-Mannose in the refrigerator, just in case, an infection occurs. You are a natural for this! Great delivery and it's easy on the ears. I see now that you are married. In the last video, two years ago, you were talking about waiting outside your boyfriends house, because he was sleeping. You did the video in your car, which was impromptu, but of good quality.

    Hi there and thank you so much for this. I have had multiple UTIs over the past ten years. No offence please but Dr.Rena Malik is a urologist and says on her website: "there is nothing wrong with your personal hygiene so stop 'freaking out". She appears to be truthful in her opinion. with a huge following of 1.7 million followers. And yes we are all different. Your comments please.

    In the last 4 months, I've been taking more than 7 rounds of antibiotics due to UTI. And it messed my gut microbiome, I often had constipation in some days, food allergies, etc. What I noticed was that my UTI always comes back when I consume high oxalates food, even though I took d-Mannose, oregano oil... And when I had an USG, even though it showed that I didn't have kidney stones, doctor found that I had a lot of crystals in my bladder. I thought the UTI and crystals was not related but it turns out that it was.
    One of the comment in this video mentioned a book titled "Toxic Superfoods" by Sally K. Norton and it's really eye-opening. I will change my diet starting from tomorrow ro low oxalate diet and I hope that this UTI will not come back anymore.

I was hoping you could make a video about the possible causes of symptoms of a UTI without the actual infection! I have been struggling with this for months and months and would love to hear your thoughts on the possible causes of symptoms of a UTI without the presence of infection/bacteria. :) I would LOVE to see a video like that!! 😊❤️

      I hate hearing that you've been navigating UTI-like symptoms for months without having an active infection. I really hope that you are able to find peace in your body and remain kind to yourself during this time.
      Thank you so much for the request -- I just added it to my list and would love to make that video!
      Until then, have you ruled in/out your pelvic floor? If you think of your pelvic floor like any other muscle, you can imagine that when there is a threat, it tightens up. Kind of like if you were going to be punched in the stomach -- your abdomen might tighten to protect you. The same is true of your pelvic floor when you have a bladder infection, the bladder lives right on top of the pelvic floor and it will sometimes tighten up to protect you.
      When someone has chronic infections, sometimes the pelvic floor will forget to let go even after an infection has resolved and it can FEEL like a UTI. I've treated a number of women for this exact presentation in clinic!

I took an antibiotic because I’m not very good at managing the pain, but honestly the progress are very good! I would like to be able to not use any antibiotic even when I’m experiencing one just like you, do you have any tricks to manage the pain? Sorry for my english I speak french😇

      And I am SO happy to hear that d-mannose has been such a helpful tool for you, it really did change my life.
      A few things to share:
      1. I highly recommend the d-mannose powder over the pills, not only for trying to treat an acute UTI, but also for preventative doses
      2. I do think it is possible to cure an acute UTI (if it caused by E. coli) with d-mannose, so long as you catch it early!
      3. As far as pain management goes, I really like pyridium -- it is over the counter, and it numbs the bladder (but it will make you urinate bright orange!). I've used pyridium to manage the pain while treating an acute UTI with d-mannose!
      Let me know if you have any other questions and I wish you only the best 💕

    I had a UTI since May 2024. Usually I had a few bladder infections a year (3-5), but none of them were as bad as this was. I had to try 4 different antibiotics, the last one I had to take preventatively for 3 months. I had a new partner since March, but the problems only started in May, as I mentioned before. I thought about anything that could have caused this, and the worst idea is that it is because of my new partner. We quickly became a couple in June, and even didn‘t have Sex for a whole month because it just hurt so much. My pee was bloody and my lower stomach would cramp up so much I coulnd‘t even stand up. This time was the worst of my whole life. Apparently the third antibiotic worked but my doctor still advised me to take the 3-month antibiotic to prevent further UTIs.
    I was so scared that it was my boyfriend, as my doctor said it is 100% his fault. He even told me to get back on the pill. I didn‘t know what to do, because everyone on the Internet was also saying it was my boyfriend and that he‘s not the right one for me as my body is „showing me“ by the UTIs that he is not good for me.
    Since watching the video I have a good feeling about everything, I even cried because you talked about your fiancé and how he is not the reason for your UTIs.
    I‘m taking probiotics and the „Now“ D-Mannose. The UTI is gone but I still have a tingling sensation whenever I pee. It‘s not the feeling of a bladder infection but rather my bladder kind of stinging, if that makes sense. This has been going on since forever and I‘m really clueless. I haven‘t had Sex for 6 months, as I‘m doing my semester abroad now and soon, my partner and I will meet again and obviously it will come to Sex more often. Which is why I‘m scared that the bladder infection will come back.
    I really don‘t know what to do and I‘m kind of hopeless.
    If you read until this part, thank you so much for listening to my story and I‘m accepting any kind of advice!

    Hi, fellow Physio (in Training) here :) I have also suffered from chronic UTIs for the past 15 years. My hypothesis is that I used to get so many antibiotics when I was a kid and even also as an adult. I think my microbioma is not ideal. Also I think biofilm has got something to do with it. It often feels like it is something systemic, I also get UTIs easier when I drink white wine and/or beer, for example. The hypothesis about anatomy sounds plausible, but tbh 1 or 2 cm don't really make a big difference is what I think. I think it is more important what kinds of bacteria etc. are being transportet from the back to the front. Also, the lymphatic system kind of connects colon, vagina and urethra. For me personally, I still get UTIs even if I take a shower after sex, and tbh I have never not wiped from the front to the back. Still, I get UTIs. In my case I really believe it is a systemic thing and something with the microbioma is off.You also mentioned that you had to use probiotics and in your other video you said, that is a whole different story - I wonder why? I mean these things are so closely connected. I am going to do a colon cleanse again, as last time I didn't have UTIs for a few months after. Thank you for making these videos, it really helps to know that others also have the same problem.

      Have you gotten any of these infections cultured? If it is E. coli causing your infections, I am very hopeful that d-mannose can help you the way it has helped me. I am still UTI-free to this day 💕
      I hope d-mannose is the right tool for you, and I hope that you find relief soon! Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, and I wish you a speedy recovery and only the best 🤗

Idk for sure how long I had before starting d mannose. I think maybe 3 or 4 days so hopefully it helps my acute uti. My UA bateria was 4+ and wbc 6-10 idk compared to others how bad that even is. Stressful. But any how hope and prayers to you that you no longer suffer with these

    Awesome video!!! Love it! If you were to go on a mini getaway for 3 days or so and you know that you will be doing the beach/running/risky behavior type of things all day..would you suggest taking the maximum amount of servings in powder form which would be 2 servings each day or would you suggest more? Do you have to space out when you take the servings? For example: wake up take a serving, go to beach, then maybe go hiking and maybe go dancing later. So all day would be considered risky stuff when you’re away!

    • @PelvicEmpowerment
      @PelvicEmpowerment  4 роки тому +1

      When I partake in all-day risky behavior, I usually take the d-mannose after each activity is over. So I would wake up, take my morning dose, go to the beach/hang out in my bikini, take a second dose, and then go hiking/exercise, take a third dose, and then go dancing in tight clothing and probably take a fourth dose after that. That being said, I'm not sensitive to d-mannose, and I don't often take more than two doses/day, so having a couple of days here and there that are outside of my typical routine doesn't worry me.
      That being said, I can't give individualized medical advice! If you aren't sure how much you should be taking and are not comfortable running a sort of trial-and-error experiment with yourself, I can only recommend seeking input from a healthcare provider you trust ❤️
      Enjoy your mini-vacation 🤗

    Just wanted to update my last comment - D-Mannose powder started working within 5 hours of taking first dose (for an active UTI caught early stages) like mentioned in the video! I haven't had to take any antibiotics yay! Brings me peace of mind big time.
    Would still like to know whether you or anyone has had the powder fail as preventative measure? And if so for any thoughts to why it failed? My Hiprex prevention seemed to fail on me after 2 years of no UTI, unless i for some reason increased 'risky behaviour' or didnt have enough. Hopefully this is superior

    I had several back to back UTI's for over a year. Prior to that I had been suffering for a long time with "almost" UTI's--testing showed no bacteria present. I finally went to a Functional Med Dr and she had me take a very expensive urine culture ($275) every time I got one to identify the exact bacteria. Each time I was put on a different antibiotic. The result was that my gut got totally destroyed even though I was taking probiotics. Interesting that a very expensive Dr who's supposed to be knowledgeable in natural healing didn't recommend this.
    I found out just like this gal did that D Mannose was the answer, but I must EMPHASIZE that I clearly wasn't drinking enough water, so I increased my intake exponentially. I thought I was drinking enough- about 8 10oz glasses, but in reality I wasn't. I'm now drinking 10-11 10 oz glasses a day (very intentially) and when I get UTI symptoms it's usually bc I've slacked off on drinking enough. I recently got another one and I'm back on the D Mannose along with an herbal tincture. Once this one clears up I'm going to do the maintenance that is recommended in this very good video.

      I have had two UTIs since taking the powder preventatively -- but both of them happened in January of this year, in Asia, on my honeymoon, when I didn't pack enough d-mannose for the entirety of the trip! I essentially hadn't gotten a UTI in 2.5-3 years since using the powder, packed enough d-mannose for my life not in Asia for the length of the trip (3 months), realized I hadn't packed enough for life in Asia (very wet climate, a lot more exposure to "risky behaviors" there), and tried to half my doses to make the amount of powder I had brought last the whole time. Promptly got two UTIs in a row... so I do think if I had been taking d-mannose the "right" way for my body I would've prevented those. Otherwise, UTI-free since using the powder!
      As for your second question, my symptoms went away quickly (within a day), but I continued to use the powder through the lens of treating an infection for 5 days total 😊

    I would like to give my experience with uti's, now first of all I am a guy, so uti's or less frequent, in some respects more serious with guys... I had issues with very small kidney stones which I suspect led to my uti, in which I discovered at my local Hospital after I was having trouble urinating and was promptly given antibiotics... By the third day after every dose I felt like I was going to pass out, went back to the hospital and they said it was all "in my head". I knew there had to be another way and I discovered D-Mannose. But I take the pills instead for a couple of reasons, one I find that if I am not careful how I store the powder it will get hard and un-useable, two- it makes it easier for me to dose out, I break open 3 capsules (1.5 grams) and pour it into at least 8 ounces of water, once a day, seems to work well for me... By the way I use the Now Brand...Men sometimes has to deal with this too...

    Today is 2-17-2024. I am going to tell everyone the method I use for UTI. Not an E-Coli UTI. Just a regular UTI. I Hope this helps someone. Go to the grocery store and buy a bunch of fresh parsley. It is sold in “ bunches “. At home rinse the parsley off and put all of it…..stems and all…….into a blender filled with water. Grind it up. Then, pour the green water into a container and throw the ground up parsley remainder away. Keep in your refrigerator and 4 times a day……FOR ONE WEEK ( even if you start feeling fine, do not stop ) drink a cup of the parsley water. Drink it cold, hot, or put some sweetener in…….anything to help you tolerate it. This OUGHT to clear up the majority of UTI’s. It always has mine. Now, as a maintenance, do this maybe twice a year. Typically, I just gulp it down cold in a coffee type mug. Try it, and if you have success, you will learn to buy SEVERAL bunches of parsley at the time. Would REALLY REALLY appreciate hearing back from anyone on this. I started doing this around 40 years ago, and it worked UNTIL I got E-Coli and then I had to be treated. That one is a yucky experience !

I think it’s my 4th one this year to be exact 😬 the antibiotics don’t seem to help me and I’m desperate because I’m always thinking about UTIs now I cannot enjoy sex or go shopping without having to pee often since I’m drinking more water than I used to. My primary doc says I’m getting them because I was dehydrated when I got blood work done but it doesn’t seem to have gotten better. The first UTI I got i got 2 diff bacteria’s which one was E. coli. The other ones I can’t say because I go to urgent care and they just tell me I have a bad bladder infection but this last one I went to my gynecologist and she told me I had Group B streptococcal infection She gave me antibiotics but i want to make sure I got rid of it. I recently ordered the same D mannose powder you got but I just paid attention and you mentioned it won’t work if it’s not E Coli. Would you happen to know what else might work for UTIs???? I’m so desperate to get better!!! 😩😩😩 and I’m not sure if I should continue taking the power ?

      D-mannose has been very helpful for me, but my infections were always caused by E. coli. Since I haven't had other bugs cause my UTIs, I don't know what alternatives help with other kinds of bacteria.

      Yes! I am learning about embedded infections from my comment section, too! I plan on deep-diving and really researching it in the next few weeks. I'd love to know more.
      I mentioned in another comment -- the reason I feel hesitant about an embedded infection being the case for me, is that when I don't take d-mannose, I don't have UTI symptoms (unless I do something "risky").
      My UTIs always correlated with some sort of risky behavior (mostly sex). If I abstained from penetrative and oral sex, and got out of wet/sweaty clothes quickly, I wouldn't get chronic UTIs -- one or two, but not 10-12 (there was a period of time where I was not sexually active and this was the case).
      Regardless, I want to stay open to other possibilities for myself. And I want to learn more so that I can be a better women's health provider!
      As far as sex -- I pee afterwards and then go take my d-mannose :) I think you could take it before as well, if that works better for you!

    I've been struggling with chronic UTI's for 20 years now and I think I've tried everything including D-mannose .The problem with the recurrent UTI is the biofilm that the bacteria is forming into the bladder and this is how the bacteria protects itself and becomes antibiotic resistant.I managed to put this under control for 4 years using oregano oil( which is natural antibiotic). In order to destroy the biofilm I would suggest using some natural biofilm destroyers such as garlic, turmeric, tea tree oil etc along with taking oregano oil and D mannose. Since I'm not a doctor please consult your urologists before taking any further actions.Good luck everyone!
