The surprise cure for "incurable" cystitis Q: I want to thank you for the huge difference D-mannose has made in my quality of life! I was diagnosed with interstitial cystitis and told there was no cure for my problem. The abdominal pain and frequency of urination were interrupting every area of my life. I had read your advice for using D-mannose for bladder infections and decided to give it a try, even though my urologist insisted that e-coli infection had nothing to do with my problem. The D-mannose removed my symptoms almost immediately, and I have been symptom-free for over a month now. JVW: Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to send this letter! Interstitial cystitis isn't the same as a "regular" bladder infection, so it's exciting to know that D-mannose worked for you. Your experience may encourage other readers with interstitial cystitis to try D-mannose. It's certainly very safe, so why not try? |
