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.

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

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

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
