Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 I've been fighting infections (both UTIs and Yeast) for years now. My OBGYN didn't believe they were all yeast or UT infections and has been running tests each time now for the last year. Each time, the UTIs have come back as positive for bacteria and I've been put on anti-biotics which has made my yeast worse, which he's advised as just using over-the-counter remedies to fix. This last time, he cultured the yeast and it came back as an " Overgrowth of Beneficial bacteria and yeast " and said it wasn't the harmful kind but because it's an overgrowth, again, wants to put me on anti-biotics. Has anyone heard of this? He's also putting my husband on anti- biotics this time. Why would beneficial bacteria be bad and why would it effect my husband? I thought that's what we were shooting for this whole time was beneficial yeast and bacteria not the other way around?!

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 Hi Sondra As caring as your OB/GYN sounds, I would ask myself what conditions would create a playground for an overgrowth of yeast (or anything else) but one that might have plenty for them to feast... I try to avoid antibiotics any way I can...I see colon cleansing and dietary review/changes as a better approach so everything can balance out.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2004 Report Share Posted April 19, 2004 It is possible but rare to have an overgrowth of beneficial bacteria. It's not that the beneficial in there; the urinary tract is supposed to be bacteria free. Using mannose can stop bacteria from sticking to the tract wall. There's mannose in cranberry juice; powder is of course much more potent, and pure mannose is even better. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
