Hi all,

Does anyone know if you can take Bactrim for UTI? I was diagnosed with UTI in Oct seen again about 2 weeks later and now UTI is coming back once more!!! I think maybe it’s nots being treated correctly related my gastric bypass. Thoughts? Thank you

I was told I could take anything except NSAIDS. You could always verify with your surgeon to be sure.

Hope you feel better soon.

I have been taking the Uqora line of products. They have D-mannose in them. Both my urologist & naturopath recommend that I take that. I keep having asymptomatic EColi. They won’t treat it because I have no symptoms & it is antibiotic resistant. If they do treat it I have to be in the hospital & get a pic line because I am allergic to so many antibiotics.
Uqora has a Facebook group. They are very helpful, you should check it out.

You can also take straight D-Mannose. It works really well.

antibiotics aren't a problem. NSAIDs (and extended release versions of drugs) are the only things I know of that bypassers supposed to avoid.

I started having UTI problems a few months after my surgery. Started buying D-Mannose at Walmart and taking it daily. Haven't had problems since -- highly recommend.

Naturally, cranberry is good for your urinary tract. Obviously cranberry juice isn't going to work after surgery but they have cranberry supplements you could look into.

I only need to take a few doses when it “feels” like I’m going to have a UTI and it’s gone. I haven’t had a full blown UTI in years since I’ve started using D-mannose.

I'm here to backup team D-Mannose!

Thanks everyone! I stopped by WM and picked up the D-Mannose and one a different antibiotic plus spoke with my weight loss Dr.
