This MAY have given me a UTI.
Though I can not say for sure, this particular product -Histaminx- may have contributed to a raging UTI. I actually like other products that Seeking Health puts out. In fact I had been using their other Probiota Bifido with good results for many months. (I do have histamine issues). It is very expensive though-$50 for 60 caps. I noticed back in November, when I needed to re-order, that they offered this other product and it was $17 cheaper, so I thought I would give it a try. It seemed to be good at keeping me regular, so I thought great! I found something that works as well for $17 less, and forgot about it. Shortly thereafter, I started getting UTI symptoms for the 1st time since my early 20's -I'm 55 now so it's been a very long time. I went almost mad trying to clear up this UTI. Pure Cranberry, Echinacea/Goldenseal , Uva Ursi, D-Mannose, Vitamin C, very clean living etc, etc. It just kept coming back. I am on a very healthy anti-inflammatory diet so I could not figure out what or why I was plagued with these issues. I am someone who NEVER gets sick. I have been with my boyfriend for some time, without any issues in this department, so I was pretty certain it was not sex related. I started doing more and more research online in the last few days and weeks as it was starting to cause extreme anxiety as well as rejecting my sweetheart. When I first read how important it was to be on a good probiotic for UTI's I thought, OK, check. After all I had been on this expensive brand for a while, so it must be something else. I had actually forgotten that I switched to a different one a couple months ago. My symptoms have been getting worse with each passing day. A lightbulb finally went off over my head last week, as I finally remembered that I had made this switch. Also, it was the only change I had made in my supplements. I ordered the $50 bifido supplement from the same company via Amazon. I started back on it a few days ago, and all my symptoms have been fading away, more and more with each passing hour.. As I mentioned, I have no real proof that this product caused such an imbalance in my delicate system so as to cause such an awful reaction. And I do like the other product this company puts out, but I wanted to document this in case any one else experiences it, especially ladies. As others mentioned, probiotics work differently for everyone, and this may be the holy grail for someone else, but it was a nightmare for me.
