I don't know it it would help. I think its very likely it would help since it helps flush out bacteria, it doesn't hurt to try since its also harmful. Have you seen a naturopath? you might have candidiasis, I had systemic candidiasis and it was giving me all sort of problems and once candida is fixed everything else went away, even irritable bowel syndrome. I advise you to find a reputable naturopath and mention candidiasis I am almost sure that's what you have and be prepared if you really want to get better, you'll have to do candida diet that means no starchy foods and coffee, flours etc but you will be healed from the root. Good luck :) I don't know it it would help. I think its very likely it would help since it helps flush out bacteria, it doesn't hurt to try since its also harmful.

I'm not sure if it will help IC but I do know that your IC could be amplified due to irritants. I had to cut back on coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks and consume more water. I had been on antibiotics for years and have also had surgery to try to correct the issue but never resolved. So I came across this supplement that has helped me get off of antibiotics but along with other adjustments ie. lower the intake of irritants and consuming more water to flush the bladder. Are you on antibiotics? Hope this helps!

I don't know the answer to your question. For an entire year I was getting monthly urinary tract infections. I began taking this and the Critical Care Ultimate Flora. My infections stopped. After 6 months I stopped taking this one and now only take the critical care one. no infection for one year.

The calibration on the urinal lists 1L but it will hold at least 500ml more. Better than anything else we found. I agree with other comments on positioning. One might get flashback if the flow of urine is very strong. To clean, after every use I'd remove the red cap, pour out the urine, fill with a little water, shake then pour out again. Then add water again and 1 drop of Dawn dish soap and shake vigorously. Occasionally wash in dishwasher. Very much worth a try. This will be better than any other urinal you find.

No, I have used this supplement for over one year now, and never had any urinary issues. I do know that it is very important for users to consume a considerable amount of fresh water on a consistent (daily) basis when taking this supplement. Consuming water on a consistent basis would definitely affect the frequency one would need to eliminate fluids on a regular basis.

CUCUsoft you can download a trial which has a water mark or buy. Seems to work the best for what I have spent way to much time researching.

Simply have the individual urinate into a clean cup - glass is recommended. Open the sealed pouch by tearing along the notch. remove testing device. Hold the one side of the device with one hand. Use the other hand to pull out the cap and expose the absorbent end. Immerse the absorbent end into the urine about 10 seconds. Make sure that the urine level is not above the "MAX" line printed on the front of the device. Lay the device flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface. Read the result at the 5 minute mark. After 8 minutes, the reading is probably not valid. I would be happy to send a copy of the directions to your address. Simply have the individual urinate into a clean cup - glass is recommended.

Hi, I know there is a special test fluid you can buy to check every bottle of test strips before you use them to make sure they are functioning properly, never had a box longer then about 3 months and never had a problem besides once in a while an individual strip giving an error message. Maybe you can contact the company/maker of the tests trips directly to make sure before you buy. Have a great day

So far, it seems to be impervious to pee and orange juice. Sorry, I don't have any info on the warranty.

No, I do not believe so. My urologist said that they were fine to take w/o additives. However, if you are taking them for bladder infections, I do not believe they are a whole lot of value! Take SilverSolutions, also on Amzon! It is the greatest. I can go through 32 oz in a few days to rid myself of a UTI! Do get and read the book by DrGordon Pedersen re this product. BNatral.com ( may be bnatral) sells a kit with all you will need. Info, product and more! While this does not kill all of your good bacteria, It is good to take probiotics!

Not based on my experience but i was using it to patch urine wrecked areas & it came in quickly . Nothing ive found is really urine resistent!

The product doesn't smell great, but I would never equate to urine. So perhaps you have a bad batch. Also the smell never lingers after rinsing with the normal batch.

Yes! It's very soothing when dealing with UTI or urinary pain! I open one capsule into hot water and add a squirt of honey and a dash of cinnamon. Pretty tasty and very effective.

Well....I can only tell you from what my Buddy tells me (I purchase for him being he has No Credit Card) and he says the stuff actually does work as described. Follow the Instructions as printed on the Bottle. He has passed 2 Screenings with it to date, no problems. And as for the Urinating thing....he said No more or No less than compared to if he drank a couple glasses of large water ! Everyone is different. For him it was within a 1/2 hr. I know of another person and he is good for Over a hour....so you gotta know your Body with this one. Best answer I can share with you.

Yes, it should present no problem. Only suggestion I would make is after use with wine, disinfect the bladder before using with water again. I use a bit of cheap vodka mixed with water to run through the bladder, let it set for a couple of minutes and run it through the drinking tube then drain and flush with fresh water.

None. Save yourself money( a lot ) and find a generic one inch chlorinating tablets . I didn't feel that this system was worth the money. Adding fresh water more frequently is a very cheap way to keep water ph and balance correct.

I no longer use my Zero Water tester, but it seemed to work when I used it. I did not compare it to any other tester. I buy Culligan water now, therefore I don't have to test my water anymore.
