Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Why too hungry? I know the other stuff but too hungry? You can try Uva Ursi for UTI's. Also calld bearberry. Go here for more info http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsHerbs/Uvaursich.html I tried antibiotics for like 6 weeks for my first uti and still had it. Took this and felt a difference in a day or two.

Thanks. > > > -- , Some people with multiple sclerosis have difficulty emptying their bladder. Some become incontinent. One of the incorrect self-help solutions is to restrict fluid intake, but this increases the risk of bladder infections. http://www.nationalmssociety.org/Brochures-Controlling%20Bl.asp Hope you feel better soon.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 , I have had MS since 1993. I have never had a UTI. It seems like some people get them and some people don't. I am sorry you have one. I have tried the spasm stuff you recommended from Dr. Lawrence-it has done me no good. Today I think I'm going to take the neurologist up on his suggesdtion of the Bacolfen pump. I'm calling him tomorrow! -- [low dose naltrexone] Off-topic: UTIs I have one now and it is a DRAG--actually, the cure is worse than anything. I hate antiobiotics, but the doctor insisted.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 yea, thats probably one of the biggest problems, at least for me. I love to eat, and all the wrong things. Maybe she meant to not starve yourself, but eat things that are good for you, like what I dont do. :0))) Re: [low dose naltrexone] Off-topic: UTIs Why too hungry?

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 LOL. That's the weirdest part for me. I was a vegan then vegetarian and my former neuro pushed until I ate the dead things again. I was the ultra-healthy type all through my 20's, watched my diet, drank lots of water, all that, then dropped to under 100 pounds and changed my diet after constant prompting FOR THE WORSE! Now, I live on coffee, Coke and just bad stuff. I'm slowly working water and fruits and veggies back in. Even water was making me puke b4 and the healthy stuff. I just want to be at least a vegetarian again, not even vegan. I think my hunger censor is broke though along with so many other things. LOL Has anyone else noticed a lack of hunger? Like you just forget to eat unless prompted? [HI !] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. > > > ======= , never use antibiotics for a UTI. Get D-Mannose(Dr McCandless recommends), Uva Ursi, Cranberry capsules(not the juice), Astragalus(natural antibiotic), Garlic is a great fighter of bacteria. Go the all natural way. Keep D-Mannose on hand at all times and take 2 cranberry capsules in AM and 2 in PM for life. Antibiotics will cause candida. Take a good probiotic up to 4 capsules per day.

I was a vegan then vegetarian and my former neuro pushed until I ate the dead things again."..."Has anyone else noticed a lack of hunger? Like you just forget to eat unless prompted?..."Yes, me too Donna, but I've made major changes to my diet recently - Best Bet Diet, basically, with other things excluded because I show a sensitivity to them, and trying to fix a Candida problem. I'm losing weight steadily, and I rarely feel hungry. I just make food because I know I have to eat. That's fine for now because I was a bit overweight, but I do wonder if it will change once my weight drops to "thin" again. I was vegetarian too and a complete health nut for years, and very fit. And I still got MS! Now I can't see a way to be vegetarian, because of the "no legumes" rule on the BBD. My vego heading for vegan son is trying to find a way...but my way is to just buy organic, which hopefully helps with the animal cruelty issues as well as my own health. I don't think my diet slipped quite as far as what you described - sounds like you were on a swinging pendulum! - but it did get pretty bad (read "normal" for Australia and the USA).

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi , Take the D-Mannose 1 tsp. in 8 oz. of water 3 X a day until the UTI disappears....should be about 3 days. Then for maintenance once a day. Regards, Tom [low dose naltrexone] Off-topic: UTIs I have one now and it is a DRAG--actually, the cure is worse than anything. I hate antiobiotics, but the doctor insisted.

I went out and got some and took my first "dose" today. It says three times a day. I seem to remember you taking it once a day...This is my first UTI in many years, but still, I'm wondering if it's something people with MS are prone to. Anyone know?And one more thing.
