Anyone tried D-Mannose to treat a UTI?!
Question: Did it work? Do you know if it's safe to take while breastfeeding?
And, YES, I've tried "googling it" and most of the sites say "consult a physician if you are pregnant or breastfeeding"
Please site any sources.

I haven't personally tried it, but we have thousands of customers that use D-Mannose and/or Cranberry for Urinary Tract health.
As far as using it while breastfeeding.... the website you found is right that you should consult a physician. There's more information that someone would need to know before they could say if you could do it, and a doctor would be the best to look at your situation and see if your body would be able to work with D-Mannose while breastfeeding.
If you aren't able to talk to a doctor or if your doctor won't say anything about natural supplements (as many won't), then I would suggest trying Cranberry (often available in high potency softgels). It's cheaper, it works on the same area, and there is no warning about not using while breastfeeding. Good luck!
I'm not sure if you can take it while pregnant but I've tried it. It did seem to work and I get UTIs worse than anyone I know. Because I have insurance I stick to antibiotics which end up being cheaper. But the D-Manose did work for me.
