Nitrofurantoin is a drug I would only want to use in case of emergencys or
nothing else worked first. Doctors frequently give to women that have chronic
urinary infections as prevention to be taken on a daily basis. Someone wrote
that it can cause bladder disease and they are right. If a person has
interstitial cystitis, it can damage the bladder lining.It works differently
than other antibiotics they give because it kind of scrapes the lining and can
irritate the bladder. The only advantage to it, is that it is primarily for
bladder infections and if a person gets them alot, doctors dont want to use
other antibiotics like penicillin because then if you need penicillin for a
different type of infection, you can become allergic when you need it. The
other danger with nitrofurantion, is that it can cause a type of permanant
punemonia condition of the lungs esp used over a period of time in older
adults. Doctors rarely mention this side effect.
I was wondering if the people that were having problems with DMannose were
sensitive to acid or fruit because this is what the base is made of.
Also regarding rib pain, This can be a symptom of babesia when one has lyme
disease. However, it sounds as thou the people who wrote about this were having
more internal issues like gallbladder etc.
