Hello All-

As you all know I have been dealing with IC like symptoms for over a year. In June I started wokring with an LLNP K and I also have an LLMD.

**Edited out first initial of name.**

Anyways, I took about a 10 day break from ABX and I had a comprehensive Urine culture done bc I was flaring pretty bad.

The result came back yesterday and its a significant entercoccus infections 10,000-25,000 colonies.

ABX senstivity was tested. The the thing is I have been treated for this in the past and it did not improve at all. I am so confused.

I have a phone cosult with my LLNP soon. Any input.....This who thing just gets more and more complicated.

tricia,

First let me say I know very little about this subject. However, according to the research that appears to be out there on Enterococcus Infection(EI) talks about EI gaining a big resistance factor throughout the world to various types of antibiotics.

So, I wondered about a natural probiotics or antibiotics that would help with your situation and I found some very useful studies and information that may help you. It appears that of course, GARLIC is very successful with aiding in this type of infection. Other natural compounds are also discussed in the various studies on the link attached. Some studies use a traditional antibiotic in combination with Garlic. Although it appears garlic is the true winner in this battle.

https://www.google.com/search?q=natural+probiotic+predator+enterrocucs&oq=natural+probiotic+predator+enterrocucs&aqs=chrome.0.69i57j0j69i64.15371j0&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#bav=on. 2,or.r_qf.&ei=PQEBUoTnGoiTyQGryYBw&fp=d813d285c2aecddf&q=garlic+enterococcus&sa=X&spell=1&ved=0CCgQvwUoAA

Hope that helps. Best of luck to you - S

Might try homeopathic Cantharis in addition to other treatments. This remedy is indicated for typical bladder infection symptoms.

tricia, thank you so much for sharing this info. I've been following your threads on IC. I've been fighting a UTI or some type of infection since last last year.

It all began after using a jetted tub at a casio resort. After 3 abx failures, using d-mannose and other supps, all I can accomplish is calming that goes on for maybe 2-3 weeks only to return again.

I've used my rife machine for e-coli, staph, strep and I knew I needed to find the exact bacteria. I'm hoping you have given me the bacteria.

Have you noticed the worse sx of this co-insides with your lyme cycle? The last couple months I noted that when my monthly lyme cycle starts, the more intense pain cycle of UTI comes with it.

Thanks again. And, I've found the frequency that is suppose to hit this bacteria Entercoccus. Lord, I hope so!!!!!!!!!!

Pam

Be careful of garlic. I know my bladder can't handle it. But it would be a big PLUS if that would help you.

Maybe you should get a Rife machine!

Do you think you were treated long enough?

With any bug, maybe it takes longer to treat and may need to try different RX. Just personal experience.

I hope these results will give her help in prescribing and give you some relief....

it's a stubborn bug. You may need to keep trying things.

Try NEERI it seems to be beneficial if nothing else is working

I am currently on Amox. Septra. Augmentin. Zitth
Samento Banderol Bio Sil and Boulke. They say the amox and augmentin are for the strep d but I have been there done that. I treated this before and It wont go away I think it has some kind of resistence. Or maybe I am not on a high enough dose.

I recently beat an Enterococcus Faecali UTI with 3 weeks of Cephalexin combined with colloidal silver and lots of probiotics. I'm pregnant, and will likely have to stay on the Ceph another 4 months until I give birth to keep it from coming back. I hope that helps...

tricia.. I know you were celebrating your engagement when all of this started. Did you by change indulge in wine or alcohol, followed by sweets you normally would not have eaten?

Maybe a lot of this is candida in the bladder?

Is this the bug that forms biofilm on the bladder lining?

Don't rely on a test to tell you if you have yeast. I saw that you ARE treating yeast. Nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Exactly why I never give up. Exactly why after 10+ years I still come here to read and educate myself.

Frequency 686 with my rife machine has hit this bacteria. 1st day I did it for 15 minutes each session. Next day pain free and urine non smelling again.

Did it twice again the second day. Yeah, it's good. Thought I'd test this bad boy and skipped the third day.

He had built his army up and was attacking again. So this is one very resistant bacteria. So I think I keep it up daily for a couple weeks before I break again.

Thanks tricia again.

Pam
