Maybe the UTI was fostered by the yogurt. Sometimes food rich in calcium or minerals are deposited in the urine and slowdown draining of urine. The slowdown could in turn foster UTI. I have read that most UTIs are caused from a bug in our stool. I had always been extremely careful getting cl

I've had excellent success staying uti free with colloidal silver (a natural antibiotic). I drink about 1-2 oz. per day. This website has a good price for it. I've bought a couple of gallons from them before. I make my own now.   http://www.csprosystems.com/   TimDerrick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wro

One could speculate, until the cows came home, and still would be guessing about your UTI.   Consider this... as your bladder shrinks, it can become more prone to infection then when the bladder is at full size.   Think of your bladder as a very large swimming pool. Granted, you need more che

Hi Glenn,   His Urologist is probably right.  Get all the tests done before he makes any decisions.  It may turn-out to be something that can be fixed without surgery.  If not, I'd think the Uro would clearly explain all of his options before proceeding.    With Love, CtrlAltDel aka DaveC4/5

Hi Johnny,   The pounding headache is probably caused by AD.  The AD should ease-up once the UTI starts to clear up.  Levaquin works pretty fast so the headaches should ease-up soon.  Stay strong.   With Love, CtrlAltDel aka DaveC4/5 Complete - 29 Years PostTexas, USA  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
