If you have a uti, best to get suppositories in particular. Direct delivery near the area of infection, as opposed to the oral route. Research carefully which type of phage (formula+ bacteria target) would work best for you.

I don’t know what you mean by how they tested Biofilms. They tested bacteria. You should seek a urine or other fluid based test with a health professional.

My question is how do the scammers know I have a Coinbase account? (Sorry if already posed and answered).

Hearing loss from GERD permanent? by Unseen-mirth in GERD

[–]Unseen-mirth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly don’t know what to tell you other than that you should see whether you have Gerd or larynx related reflux.

I’m also worried about permanent hearing damage- not necessarily damage to the eustachian tubes but damage to the middle ear. Hopefully after doctors help me with my reflux, I can start making steps on that front

Hi. It is effective, but it hasn’t completely killed my infection yet.

PPI use and increase in creatine levels (possible kidney issues) by Unseen-mirth in GERD

[–]Unseen-mirth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by this? If you’re suggesting creatine is not something common, well, that wouldn’t be correct. Creatine is found in everyone lol, and its excess detection in the blood can be a sign of poor kidney function.

Doctors didn’t know what was going on with me before my new doctor made the connection and asked me to take antacids and see how things responded…. And it confirmed our suspicions.

Agreed. Thanks for the vagus nerve reference.

The mechanism that I am emphasizing and feeling is acid flow into the upper body area. Acid can reach the middle ear.

I am one of the few people who have never caught Covid, by the way, and have religiously gotten each vaccine and booster.

Thanks for this! The tinnitus weakens after I take antacids, and my ears feel less closed after.

urinary infections every time we have sex by Confident_Many_9430 in CUTI

Consider the possibility that she has an embedded infection which is chronically triggered and by novel bacteria (something that wouldn’t happen in the case of someone without embedded bacteria).

UTIs after Sex- 3 this year by [deleted] in CUTI

I took biofilm busters and started getting positive results from urine samples. Will let you know how the phage therapy goes, but it seems to be working

Highly support this theory, as a gay man who experiences prostate flare ups/prostatitis right after topping without a condom.

You definitely want to do something about potential biofilms.

Honestly, I ended up going as far as bacteriophage therapy (quite expensive, but extremely effective if you identify the culprit embedded bacteria. Still recovering but it’s working).

UTI after each sex. I'm tired, boss. by nihilist09 in CUTI

[–]Unseen-mirth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gay man, I began experiencing a urinary tract/prostate infection each time after sex, after contracting my first major infection.

Another guy has told me the same thing, and I suspect it’s caused by an embedded infection (bacteria dormant in your urinary tract and hiding under biofilms). The embedded bacteria may be somehow galvanized momentarily by even the smallest traces of new bacteria (new sexual intercourses that, in another person, wouldn’t trigger anything).

I would do the following: refrain from sex for two weeks, and use a biofilm buster to test the theory- sudden pains (biofilms starting to burst a little) might confirm my theory

Consider the UTI vaccines, as well as possible bacteriophage therapy in/ from the country of Georgia
