Have Recurring Urinary Tract Infection And Can't Handle Antibiotics

[blueskies]

Hi all,

I have a recurring urinary tract infection and I can't handle antibiotics. I've had such bad reactions to the ones I've taken over the past 9 years or so that I don't ever want to take them again if I can help it.

But I don't know what to do about the uti. I can't drink cranberry juice as it's high in salicylates and my skin reacts to salicylates.

I"ve been drinking a heap of water (but I do anyway, with pots) but there is not much else I know to do. Just keep on drinkng the water and hope it goes away?????

If I see my general practioner I know she'll want to prescribe anti-biotics so there is no point even seeing her. She's not at my place when I react very badly. I'm sure she thinks I'm exaggerating.

I see my allergist/immunologist in mid March and I'm hoping she can come up with something. I'm also hoping the uti doesn't get any worse until then

Any ideas?
