Hi folks. I thought I'd share something just incase it helps anybody out.
For years and years I've had constant UTI's, with antibiotic after antibiotic but have just stumbled across the cause , considering I'm 63, I'm pretty happy about this.
It's Dairy products of any type. I'm totally dairy free, only having oat milk and changing my cooking to veg oils ( which is really tasty) and NO infections. Yaaay.
Worth a try cause it's a miserable condition. XX

So glad you have found the cause but was the UTI definitely caused by dairy or was it just irritating your bladder?

When I went through a horrific couple of months when I had continuous UTI's (six different types of AB's in as many weeks), it turned out to be caused by growth in my bladder, which need be removed surgically.

As you get older, be careful if you have put yourself on a dairy free diet (have you informed your GP?). Our aging bones, etc need calcium - cannot get that from oat milk etc.

My sister had this many years ago with many recurring UTI's and eventually they found a growth but she ended up with a hysterectomy. I think her problems were very frequent and over a long while before they treated her.

I didn't ask at the time what the connection between UTI to hysterectomy was... but it was the cause

I think oat milk is ok for calcium, Franbern
