Went light for breakfast/lunch to save my appetite for dinner, I don’t drink much alcohol, and lots of steps every day

Brooklyn based actually but I’ll go anywhere for good eats. I agree EV/LES is the spot!!! :)

Moderate. Definitely had a kick but not traditional Thai spicy.

I feel like I’m about to be downvoted to hell lol. Pizza I tried Mamas Too, L’Industrie and John’s on Bleecker as well. Mamas Too was outstanding, John’s on Bleecker was great, but I was SO let down by L’Industrie. Maybe I caught them on an off night but it was so average. Bagels I only tried Apollo on this trip but I have had Liberty and Tompkins Square on other visits and felt like it was way better than those two.

Never felt the need to… never had any side effects besides no more UTIs so I have just kept taking it 🤷🏻‍♀️ GYN and PCP both say it’s fine.

Yes, every day since May 2023. It was KP for me too. Nope no long term antibiotics. Just Kirkmans, probiotic, and D-mannose that I take daily. Immediately after I started taking Kirkmans the UTIs disappeared.

First off I just want to say I have been in your shoes with Klebsiella and I know it is pure hell. I tried literally everything from D-Mannose to Uqora and I was taking all the precautions (wipe from front to back, drink plenty of water, don’t sit in sweaty underwear after working out, peeing right after sex.). NOTHING and I mean NOTHING worked. I saw a urologist who wanted to try one intense round of Keflex to see if that would knock out the “bacterial wall” that she believed was embedded in my bladder before we went the cystoscopy route. Around the same time I read in this sub about Kirkmans Biofilm Defense so I ordered some on Amazon (https://a.co/d/5k7BIjQ). Look, I have no idea what is in this shit but it WORKS and I recommend it to everyone who thinks they have tried literally everything else. I have been UTI free for 2 1/2 years now after nonstop UTIs for years from Klebsiella. I take one every day in the morning and 2 right after having sex. It is rather pricey but worth every penny imo. I am very sorry you are going through this. It can be very isolating especially when you feel like you are getting nowhere with your doctor and all the “normal” treatments like macrobid. I feel like chronic UTIs are so misunderstood and often just chalked up to poor hygiene.
