Folic Acid and Acidophilus Treatment for BV

I have recently taken antibiotics for BV and the symptoms soon came back after a few days. The doc said 'Give it time to calm down' so I have been soothing it with salt baths but nothing changed until yesterday - when I found this site and went out to buy ACV, folic acid, yoghurt and aciphpolus. I wasn't taking any chances! The very exciting news is that 12hours after taking folic acid (800mg) and 1 acidpohulus tab, I feel fine. If only women were told they need folic acid all the time, not just in pregnancy...

I have had re-current BV probably 10x or more in the last 2 years...I am trying 1200 mg folic acid per day scince middle of July or before and also taking Florajen probiotics..... Florajen is a very high quality probiotic. You can get it at Pharmacies all over or on the Internet. It is Refrigerated at the Pharmacy so you have to ask for it. I also read that 100 mg of vitamin B6 will cure Bacterial vaginosis (drink plenty of water with it) so I am waiting on the Vitamin B6. I take my florajen (35 billion cfu's) on an empty stomach and wait 20-35 minutes or more so it can reach my intestines. It works best this way.

Hey all, I just wanted everyone to know that I have been suffering from BV and tried everything and nothing work until I prayed to God sincerly an He bless me to find this site. I read about several others taking Folic Acid Supplements. It Works wonders! everytime my Monthly would come on I had an horrible fish smell that was quite disturbing to myself and others around me. I prayed for a cure!! I thank GOD for this site because I started takeing 3 folic acids 400 mg a day along with Stoney Field Yourgt.(the plain kind). I have my Monthly today and I smell like a baby. No more odors!!! I thank GOD for this site and the people that had the courage to write and tell about their experiences!

I had been fighting BV for close to two years, having been misdiagnosed as having a yeast infection. One time, my doctor did the test and realized I had BV, after that when I called in, even if I said I'd been diagnosed with BV before, I was treated for a yeast infection, never asked to come in and get tested again. Once a month I would get the symptoms, and was told to treat with over the counter yeast infection treatments. This would help for about two weeks, then the syptoms would return. Finally I thought, I bet I'm still having the BV even though my doctor is ignoring that possibility, and searched for at home remedies for BV. I came across this site and the advice to take folic acid. Keep in mind, I'd been dealing with these symptoms for two years, every two weeks to 1 month - my life had been miserable! When I saw that folic acid might help, I immediately went to the grocery store and picked some up with the yogurt (thinking I would do the yogurt treatments as well). I took 2 folic acid supplements and in 30 minutes, felt good as new. I continued to take two a day for a week and the symptoms disappeared! Now, almost 3 months since I tried the folic acid treatment, I have had no reoccuring symptoms, for the first time in two years, I'm free! I only take the folic acid if I think I feel BV symptoms, and it still had not returned. Try the folic acid first and see if it helps! It's awesome, two years of never ending symptoms have stopped by just taking some extra folic acid! YEA!

I decided I wouldn't go to the doctor's this time. I found this website and I tried the yogurt. It helped some but not completely. I bought folic acid pills and took 1200 micrograms (3 pills x 400 micrograms) and my symptoms disappeared in a half an hour. No more symptoms at all. No itching, no burning at all. Also, why don't you guys suggest apple cider vinegar? I always always rinse myself with apple cider vinegar solution after sex to prevent infections. Last Saturday I was too tired to do it and on Tuesday I started having symptoms. I continued rinsing with apple cider vinegar solution twice a day while taking the pills.

I didn't have any plain yogurt or folic acid supplements, but was in a bind (BV symptoms) and tried strawberry yogurt and eating some foods high in folic acid today. It's not even 12 hours later and my symptoms which had been occurring for about a week are almost completely gone, without a trip to the doctor or even to the grocery store - thank you for your help!!

I tried the folic acid and yogurt douche for Bacteria Vaginitis and I feel much, much, much better thank God. It works!
