My 6 yo had recurrent symptoms but the test always came back without

infection. Her's was due to bladder spasms from holding it too long. Does

her test come back positive?

My grandmother was told by her very allopathic nurse practitioner to

start taking several grams of vitamin C each day. She went a couple of

years without a bladder infection, but started having them again when

she stopped taking it. I don't know if this would help your little one

or not, thought I would suggest it.

In microbiology last semester we were taught that 75% of bladder

infections in females are from e.coli from fecal material. If she's

not wiping really good or wiping front-to-back that could cause

problems. I know I still have issues with my nearly 8 yr-old not

keeping herself clean after a bm. Also, sulfur-based foods can help,

such as cranberries. You can also get cranberry extract capsules that

can be taken to help add the good stuff without her having to drink it.

Funny you should ask. The in-office dip is always positive but when

they send it in, nothing grows up. Her behavior is highly elevated

when she has the symptoms and gets way better once we start the

antibiotic. hummmmm.....

I can try having her go potty more. She's very good about drinking

cranberry juice but I think it might be a good idea to supplement

cranberry and Vit. C.

I really don't want to try to take her to a specialist. She wouln't

lay still and we'd have to sedate her...blah, blah,.....

I usually wipe her after she goes potty but sometimes her hands are

in her pants and she's moving those little germs around.

Thanks for the help.

My ped had my daughter go every 3 hours and completely empty the bladder.

How this is accomplished is by having her sit up straight and spread her

legs. To make this happen naturally, have her sit backwards facing the

tank. Something sitting on the tank for entertainment (or after success)

was a good motivator for us. This can take many days to completely get rid

of symptoms.

Best of luck to you!

Hi

Like Deanna, My daughter has urinary frequency with some bouts that are

extreme. She has had this for years. All her UTI tests come back negative We

even

did a round of antibiotic once just in case. No change. Her renal ultrasound

showed no abnormalities. She is on a med now for bladder spasms, Detrol. It

takes a while to work but after about a month I am seeing improvement.

My older daughter had recurrent uti's and it was determined that it was due to

irregular bowel movement. Perhaps this is a possibiity.
