I would like to thank you all for this site!! I have been suffering from bv since my early 20's. I am now 37. I have tried everything!!! From flagyl to boric acid every nite for a month!! I started taking folic acid 800mg daily and either eating a yogurt or acidophilus 20mg(200 million live cultures)every day. I am happy to say I just finished my period and DID NOT get my monthly BV!!!!!!! I saw my Gyn just to be sure and she said it was the best I'd looked in years! I would always get bv after sex, after my period and any ole time it felt like coming!! I don't think I've gone a month free in years!!! Thank you , thank you!!! I hope this cycle continues!!! This is the cheapest cure I have found so far! I will continue with the folic acid and acidophilous forever!! A yogurt a day doesn't hurt either! Thanks again and good luck to anyone else that has suffered from these atrocious infections!

I have suffered from BV for many years as well with no prescrived medication working for me, so I just want to say THANK YOU for this posting. After reading this yesterday I purchased the vitamins and went straight home to do the hydrogen peroxide douche. I immediately followed with 1200mg of folic acid and 2 acidophilus capsules with 2 billion cultures present and inserted the powder from one other capsule as well. Today the odor and discharge are 90% better. I am now going to continue taking 1 acidophilus and 800mg of folic daily :) Thanks again!

Thank god for this site!! I thought I was diseased unitl I read all your posts. I have been taking Lactobacillus/acidophilus --the live culture that is kept in the fridge for two days now and it is helping!!! After reading all your posts I am going to pair it with folic acid and try inserting yogurt. I am afraid of the hydro douch bc douching has given me yeast infections in the past. I would just like to say a huge thanks to all you ladies for being brave enough to share your stories becuase I know how embrassing it is to have BV. I will never eat fish again!!! LOL ;)
