[NP-Clinical] UTI/lactobacillis

[Priscilla Merrill]

There was a very interesting article the past month or 2 on lactobacillus
overgrowth and UTI sx's.  I wish I'd saved it!  Now I can't find it or
recall which journal.  I can search when I get some time but wondered if
anyone else had seen it?  I wonder if it's related to TOO MANY of the
probiotics now being touted and put into food?  I don't recall this from the
article, however.
I see this all the time, the culture returns with >100,000 lb's but no
sensitivities and these women have frequent UTI sx's without bacteria, yet
not suspicious for interstitial cystitis.
I wish I could recall the treatment modalities from the article. It may have
been the boric acid caps.  I just skimmed it, got busy and so now I've
forgotten.  Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,

Priscilla Merrill FNP
