Jill’s Chronic UTI Story

Jill began experiencing recurrent UTIs when she was 60.  Despite receiving standard antibiotic treatment for these acute attacks, the frequency of her infections soon increased, along with alarming lab findings of growing antibiotic resistances.  After suffering severe gut problems from candida overgrowth, and with labs now consistently finding a resistant ESBL-producing E coli (ESBL-EC), she turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and completely turned her life around.   Jill has been free from recurrent UTIs for three years and has now turned her attention to lobbying for change.  In 2016 she established a campaign group, BladderAction UK, to put pressure on the UK government and relevant authorities to address current failures in the medical system, and to introduce better UTI testing and treatment protocols in the UK.   Here is Jill’s story.
