I once had a uti and treated it with garlic supplements. It happened on a Sunday night and I was miserable, pain and bleeding. I took the garlic just to try and ease my symptoms until I could get to the doctor and ended up not going to the doctor. I took a lot, about 30 in 24 hours. You certainly can't do that all the time, but you cane take several a day to keep the bad bacteria at bay. Also, its important to populat you digestive tract with good bacteria which have been destroyed by the antibiotics. I take an encapsulated probiotic supplement that has worked wonders. Good Luck! sothurman@home.com
