5 out of 5 stars

i was sick of anti biotics, so i tried my own remedy i used natural live yoghurt, i dipped a tampon in it i did this only twice and it completely cleared up. 2 weeks have passed and no sign of it returning. just thought i would let you know it is worth a try.

I am so frustrated also. I dealt with an infectin for 6 months straight. I thought I was done, forgot to keep taking my probotics and now it is back. I am trying the advise listed below- I have inserted one of my capsules in my vagina. I hope it works.

Having read a lot of if not over 100 posts on the site, I still do not know the amount in MGS of Acidophilus that firstly you are to insert and secondly to take daily. Seems most have tried and had success but not give the most vital information for us new readers. Sorry to sound annoyed but I have had BV nearly consintly for over 4 years and am frustated to have maybe found the cure/relief but with no guidence. Can some-one help clarify this for all of us first time site users. Thanks guys

ACIDOPHLIUS WORKS!

PERSCRIPTION - 3 capsules orally and 1 inserted vaginally.
TIME TO TAKE EFFECT - 1 HOUR OR LESS

I usually get BV twice a year if i'm sexually active. Definitely with unprotected sex and I notice definitely if I use Magnum condoms. I usually go to Dr. and get a Metrodizondale perscrip and it works. Was out of town and scent got so bad and there was no Planned Parenthood in the area so I typed in home remedy for BV into the search engine and this site pops up. I decide that I would try the acidophilus and the peroxide douche. I call walgreens and ask if they have acidophilus and to my surprise the pharmacist said yes. So I grab a box that says its -- --- EXTRA STRENGTH and 1 BILLION CFU'S per CAPSULE. ------

I get back home and realize that I forgot to get the Peroxide. So I take 3 capsules of ACIDOPHILUS orally and stuff one into my vaga. The capsule that I stuck inside of me was actually triple coated and when I checked to see if it was melting it was. But I did take one capsule and put it in a bottle with a small amount of water for 20 minutes then I took that capsule and pulled off the top layer. That layer was a bit sticky so I decided to take the one I had already inserted out and replace it with the one that I had just peeled. I will say 1 (ONE) HOUR LATER the BV scent was gone. Not to mention that I was on the last day of my period and the strong ammonia scent was at an all time high. Before doing this the scent was literally coming through my clothes and my pantyliner reeked of ammonia scent. GONE INSTANTLY!

Later that night I decided to peel another one and place it into my vaga but a little while later I started to feel a lil irritated on the outside like a yeast infection so I took the capsule out and the irritation stopped shortly after.

Reading the box I realize that Acidophilus is for the intestines and I also have a problem with not having regular bowel movements. The next day I had one. So Thanks to this site I've been able to fix 2 of my problems with one product. The box says take one a day so from now on I am going to take one a day and add some yogurt to my diet.

Thank you so much for this site.

I did this treatment for only two days. First say with a tampon, 2nd day with an applicator. It was instant relief. Today is day three and it has not come back yet. The Yogurt I used was Plain Organic yorgurt and one of the cultures it contains is the L. Acidophilous referred to over and over again on this site. What helped me get much less severe BV was when I read on Web-MD that it may be caused with the anti-bacterial soaps. I discontinued using Anti-bacterial shower gel. Now I am avoiding shower gels altogether and will only use Ivory bar soap. It's the last soap I recall using prior to getting this horrible infection over and over again. I am sooo thankful I found this site. I had been taking the metro gel and pills over and over again but it kept coming back. I hope this will help others too. Good Luck!

Relieved....... Hi ladies...... I just want to say...... Thank you for sharing your stories. It feels comforting to know that there are many of us suffering from this. I've never had this before..... And I'm currently dating someone whom I care about deeply..... And it's been so depressing for me. Just trying to enjoy sex with you're partner and being cursed by this is so embarrassing. He told me to visit the doctor since his ex had it before..... But here I am with no insurance whatsoever. I was on a quest to find natural cures..... Looking for cranberry pills..... And god lead me to you ladies. Wish me luck as I will return back with hopefully good results. I'm heading to the store to get the acidophilus and colic acid pills. You're stories give me hope.
