A member asked:
I took d-mannose for 2 days but i think i took too much. felt discomfort and dull pain in kidneys. feel better now. did this harm my kidneys permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: D-mannose is a type of sugar found in a number of fruits and available in dietary supplement form. Though typically touted as a natural remedy for E. coli UTIs, there is currently a lack of clinical trials testing the use of D-mannose supplements against UTIs. Possible side effects: bloating and diarrhea. Many web sites report possible kidney damage in high doses, but basis of this is unfounded.
