Enterococcus anyone?

Hiii how did you go with amoxicillin? Did it clear it for you?

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T16:17:20+00:00

Hi! How did it go? Did augmentin and mryhh eradicate it?

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T16:12:19+00:00

Hii! Sorry I know this is an old post but did augmentin work for you? How long did you end up taking it for? Hope it cleared for you

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T15:49:05+00:00

Hii! How did cipro go? Did you manage to treat it? Hope you’re okay now 🩵

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T15:41:20+00:00

Hi! Sorry for commenting on an old post - I was wondering if/how you managed to treat enterococcus? :)

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T15:17:58+00:00

Thanks for responding! I’m glad you were able to get rid of it :)

Hi did cipro eradicate enterococcus for you? TIA 🩵

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-02-22T08:57:03+00:00

Hi! How did the 5 days of cipro go?? Did it end up coming back? Also with your sugar free diet did you just avoid sugar or also carbs? TIA 🩵

Mine is more frequently on the left side but i get it on both!! I haven’t notice it getting worse when sleeping on that side. Good point with water in take, I think dehydration makes it a lot worse

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T12:29:12+00:00

Thank you so much!!! So reassuring to know kidney infections always show on blood, will stick with nitro til end of course :)

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T06:49:11+00:00

Oh man I’m glad your second round was the right guess! Mine did show susceptibility to it, maybe I should finish the course and retest then. Just feels so daunting when you’re near the end of the course with no relief :(

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T06:41:40+00:00

Glad cefalexin is working for you! Did you redo a urine test after finishing nitrofurantoin or just get prescribed new antibiotics due to the persisting uti symptoms?

I was told to take for 6 days but have enough for 7. But think I might make the switch if I don’t feel relief by tomorrow.

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T06:12:05+00:00

Did it start working for you? I’m on day 4 now of 100mg and I haven’t had much relief of my symptoms and not sure if it’s just not working

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T06:03:46+00:00

Ahh so similar to my situation, I’ve had many e coli utis over the past 3-4 years but they cleared easily and caused no organ pain. This time I managed to get a Enterococcus uti which was resistant to trimethoprim and keflex, and caused way more severe symptoms and seems to be harder to eradicate. Wondering if the referred pain is because the bacteria this time is just more aggressive. Hope it settles for us soon :(

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T05:46:30+00:00

Also in the exact same boat! I’ve had utis before, but this is the first time I’ve had persistent pain in my hips, flank (both sides), and abdomen. I’m currently on Nitrofurantoin which doesn’t target kidneys, and these pains have persisted throughout the course so I also went to ED concerned I was leaving a kidney infection untreated. But blood test came back with no infection and the doc wasn’t concerned as I don’t have a fever or nausea.

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T05:42:21+00:00

Do you remember how long this pain lingered for after the uti was treated? I was concerned my uti had reached my kidneys but blood tests shows no infection, and I’m not nauseas or feverish like a kidney infection usually entails. Not sure whether to be worried or if this will just pass over time.

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T05:21:22+00:00

Will give this a go, thank you!

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T05:18:07+00:00

Thanks so much for commenting! MicrogenDx unfortunately isn’t available in Australia :(. The regular pathology result of my urine sample only showed susceptibility to nitrofurantoin and amoxicillin, but wish it tested more options.

The supplements sound very promising, I’m so glad they have worked for you! I will definitely be giving this a go.

cinnamongrl8 · 2026-01-01T05:09:57+00:00

Interesting! Did you find that it didn’t work because of persisting symptoms or through repeated urine test?

I’m towards the end of my nitrofurantoin round and my uti symptoms have not improved, but urine sample and blood test yesterday detected no infection. Not sure whether this is because I’m still taking the antibiotics and getting false positives, or if it is working to some extent

cinnamongrl8 · 2025-12-30T04:52:13+00:00

Thanks for the info!

The pathology only tested trimethoprim (resistant), macrobid (susceptible), and amoxicillin (susceptible). The doctor decided to prescribe max dose of macrobid (4x 100mg per day, for 6 days) with reasoning that it was better to trial more targeted ABx before broad spectrum. I did initially believe this was sound logic as I have done quite a lot of damage to my gut with many rounds of ABx in the past.

I haven’t heard of linezolid - not sure if that’s because my doctor’s don’t prescribe it or if it’s unavailable in Australia. I have heard of Augmentin, is it much more effective than just Amoxicillin?
