Does anyone actually know anything about this specific strain? How similar is it to E. coli, and is it harder to clear out? I've heard it can be incredibly stubborn and prone to recurring, which means having to redo the whole treatment cycle.😢
Also, a question regarding my partner. Is this bacterium dangerous for him too? Can I pass it on?
Hey everyone, especially swiftdrifter10.🙂
I've already written extensively on the bladder infection and bacterial infection threads, but here I am. I've been dealing with urinary issues for the last five or six years now.
I managed to finally eradicate E. coli after three or four years, and things were quiet for maybe a year.
For the past six or seven months, I've been struggling with Klebsiella. To be clear, my issues are strictly limited to the urinary tract—nothing gynecological. I've done a lot of research, and as Olivia Fowler44 mentioned, it is terrifyingly resilient and adaptive. From what I gather, the only way to kill it is through a combination of antibiotics and urinary supplements.
So far, I've cycled through Cefaclor, Augmentin, Ciprofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, Nurofen, and Omnic... Honestly, the sheer amount of medication is driving me insane.

I have definitely decided to pivot toward more alternative treatments. I refuse to let doctors keep pumping me full of antibiotics for another six years.🙂 Once I start the alternative protocols, I'll update you all on my progress. If anyone wants to discuss my specific plan, feel free to send me a private message.
Wishing you all luck in the fight. Hopefully, our next updates will be better news.😍
