I wasn't sure if this was a real site but after reading hundreds of separate entries, I figured it wouldn't hurt to try what was being suggested. I've suffered from BV for about four years on and off and the antibiotics don't keep the bacteria at bay. It may kill the Bacteria but if I'm not regulating the inside of my body anyway, then of course the BV will come back! So this time I went our and bought a bottle of the Acidiphillis capsules and Folic Acid capsules and took three Acidiphillis, put one right up in there, as gross as that may seem, took one folic acid and went to bed. This morning my discharge was gone, the smell was gone, and I'm taking two Acidiphillis and one folic acid now and one Acidiphillis tonight. This will probably be routine until the pills are gone. Both bottles only cost me around $17! GO GET THESE PILLS. if nothing else, they'll strengthen your heart! :)

I tried the folic acid and acidophilous remedies and a few hours after I took them I didn't have a smell! I took the folic acid and 2 acidophilous pills and inserted one in my vagina. There was a yellow discharge after the second day, but it went away eventually. I don't have to wear pads or pantyliners now to cover the smell!!! I have been battling BV for over 5 years and hated going to the doctor 3-4 times a year for Flagyl. Although it cured it, it would always return. I didn't like having sex with my boyfriend because I was afraid he would smell it and get turned off. I will definitely use this remdey from now on. Thank you for your help!!

Acidophilus and folic acid worked for bacterial vaginosis! It's true, this simple combination was key for me. I started taking 800mg of folic acid once a day at lunchtime, and taking acidophilus capsules intermittently or some days just eating good quality organic yogurt. I have no more odor or discomfort- I am really impressed with this remedy. Even after I was better I keep taking the folic acid and have yogurt every few days, and I haven't had any recurring problems. It has been over a month since I have had any symptoms, but just like a lot of other women experienced, this remedy worked for me really fast, I'd say almost an immediate change and then about a week before I felt completely better.

I'm very greatfull for this website I've suffere with BV off and on for many years. The doctor has prescribed tons of stuff that only seemed to mask the problem. I found this website and went out and bought folic acid and liquid acidophilus. I take the acidophilus orally and saturate a tampon with it and inserted it. I know I thought it was crazy too. I did this twice the same day that I bought it and I couldn't believe it when I removed the second tampon it was odor free. I'm going to do this for 2 more days and see what happens. I've also decided to continue to take the acidophilus capsules as part of my daily regimen since it helps with the digestive health. I'll keep you all posted on the BV issue. Thanks ladies for all of your input, I thought I would have to live with this forever.

relief at last! (Seattle, WA) on 05/21/2009

I've had persistent BV for about 2+ years, done the metronidazole gel and it just comes back. BV made me feel awful! I am a dentist, and my lap is right next to all my patients' faces! I knew if I could smell it, they could too. Nothing worked! I felt pretty disgusted about it and did not want to have sex too often, not that my partner said anything, but more because I just felt unattractive. I want to thank all the women on this page for your suggestion to do lactobacillus acidophilus + folic acid! It worked in about 4 hours! I took 1 capsule of lac. acidophilus orally, and inserted one in my vagina. I took 1 tablet of 800mg folic acid. This was at lunch time, and by the end of the day it was all gone! Its a miracle! Thank you so much for saving me from this junk. I had begun to think it was never going to go away. I think I will do the vaginal capsule bit for a few more days, and then just stick to one capsule of each per day orally.

I have to say a big Thank you to everyone who has posted their feedback on this site. After suffering with this embarrassing condition on and off for 5 years I feel free. I have been taking 1 capsule of folic acid 800mg and 1 capsule of acidophilus 2 billion, 4 times a day inserting 1 at night for 2 days now. The odour stopped almost immediately and I now have no discharge. You definitely have nothing to lose, please give this a try it's worked for me.

I am so happy to have found this website! I read about BV on the web as I was trying to research what my problem might be! I have had yeast infections before, in fact EVERY time I use an antibiotic, I wind up with one. I believe we Americans are over medicated. We take antibiotics for every little thing so that our doctors and drug companies can rake in the dollars. I was searching for a natural cure...and I found it! I read about curing BV with Acidophilus and Folic Acid and the testimonials were so convincing, I tried it! I purchased Acidophilus (500 million live cells per tab) and Folic Acid at my local drugstore and proceeded to take two of the Acidophilus orally and inserted one in my vagina. I also took one tab of Folic acid. When I woke up the next morning, my symptoms were, and are currently, GONE!!! No smell, no discharge (except for the residual Acidophilus).

I am wondering though, I also have UTI's frequently and have suffered with toenail fungus for years...could there be any connection? Perhaps some of us simply do not or cannot host as many of the "good" bacteria that keeps the "bad" bacteria at bay! Anyways, I am happy to have found this website and this cure! Skeptical??? TRY IT!

I love this web-site. In the past 15 years, I have had soo many eposides of B.V. I have been told that I have had a sexual transmitted disease to only be called 3 days later and be told my tests were negative. Honestly I probably have never had a S.T.D. When I would go to the doctors they were always ready to say it was a S.T.D. and I would leave the doctors and break up with yet another (GOOD) boyfriend. I might have let the one I would have married go because I was soo embarressed to talk about it to him. Besides once a cheater always a cheater.RIGHT???? This B.V IS sooo much more then a smelley discharge. It's a deal breaker. Now I have/had b.v once again. For once in my life I feel in charge of my body. Two weeks ago I found this website. I read for two days and decided to give it a shot. So I bought folic acid (i never drink o.j) and acidophilus 3 billion per table. I even tryed a whole clove of garlic. I was too weriod for me. So I let took it out. So this is what I have done and am free of discharge and smell. One acidophilus pill in the morning, one in the afternoon, one at night one in the vagina at night. Also in the morning 2 400mgs of folic acid. In the beginning of the infection I used tampons soaked in yogurt. Because it is cool it immediatly feels great, and the yogurt feels like it is doing something. I have also limited my beer, only on weekends. I am drinking more water tooo. I feel that this is a whole life change. I am feeling better and in control.

Folic Acid and Acidophilus: I have suffered from chronic BV and yeast infections since I can remember, I'm 24 now. I tried this for the first time yesterday and already I can see a difference! The discharge is almost non-existent and there's no smell! I can't believe this actually works, after rounds of antibiotics that would work for a day or two and then symptoms came back, this is amazing! I wish I would've found this site years ago! Give it a try!

Acidophilus and Folic Acid cured my BV:

I'm in my mid-20s and finally started having sex (with someone I love). Shorty afterwards, I experienced a strong odor and slight burning. We had both been tested so I knew it wasn't an STD. I initially thought the smell was a result of my recent vitamin B-12 intake. I explained the symptoms to my mom, a medically-licensed healthcare professional, who suggested BV, something that she herself has suffered from but had eventually went away. I came upon this site, and what a relief! I couldn't find EarthClinics dosage page, but after reading some detailed posts, I took 1600mcg of Folic Acid and two Acidophilus capsules orally the first night (the idea of putting the capsule in my vagina made me nervous - especially since no one wrote if they put it in like tampon insertion length or just in the entrance of the vajayjay). Honest to blog, the smell was gone by morning. The next night, I took only 1200mcg of Folic Acid (I learned my Vitamin B supplements held 400mcg anyway) and continued with the two Acidophilus pills. I've kept up this regimen for the last week and I have little-to-no-discharge and absolutely no fishy smell. A miracle! It's a huge comfort to know that other women have suffered through BV and are open talking about it. I will likely keep up this regimen for another week and then taper off the Folic Acid dosage or take the vitamins every other day. Acidophilus is safe to take everyday.
