Interesting info fishkybizniz, it makes sense! My doctor also suggested that I take a very low dosage of antibiotic everyday but I didn't want to get resistant to it so I said no. Thankfully my bladder has become better with me drinking more and doing more frequent catheterizations but I still do get UTI's once in a while. Give it a try if you like and let us know if it works! Hopefully it does like it did for your mother
