BV CURED!

1. apple cider vinegar wipe to take away itching and swelling. (This will burn for 5 minutes after you use it but the relief after is worth the pain)

2. apple cider vinegar single douche flush after sex, 1 part acv 3 parts h2o.

3. 50 billion acidophilus tablets once a day on a regular basis and intravaginally during an episode.

4.Complete acv douche at the onset of an episode daily x 3 days.

5. During an episode an acidophilus probiotic liquid form 20 billion 2 teaspoon 4 a day.

6. Zinc and vitamin b .

All the dietary changes recommend here are sound advice.

It is important to continue to use a 50 billion acidophilus, vitamin b and zinc even after as maintenance.

I was bv free for 6 months, started slacking the supplements, had sex with a new partner and now I am back to square one.

I am going to attempt the boric acid.

1 more hint, don't have sex if you are dry, this further complicates your pH and contributes to the problem

Good luck ladies and thank you for this forum. I thought there was really something wrong we me. I had no idea other women shared my problem.

I completed my 5th day of treatment today of 500 mg vitamin c with rose hips, twice a day. The brown discharge was present the first two day... now the odor is back and I have a lot of yellow very liquidity discharge just about constantly. I have started drinking lemon juice (juice from 1 or 2 lemons depending on size) daily as well to help increase vitamin c intake. I have been on 25 billion probiotics, twice a day... For a few months. I'm afraid that the treatment didn't work. Any suggestions? I treated prior to bed and mid morning for my twice daily. 

I have an appointment scheduled on Thursday with a new OBGYN, but open to any oth r remedies to try prior.

I am now BV free ! :-) and have been for over a week. The regular acidophilus capsules I was using internally only worked for a while. I realised this was probably because they didnt have the specific strains in them. You need the lactobacillus rhamnosus and lactobacillus reuteri (think thats how you spell them). I had some femdophilus in the fridge and thought id try it. Id tried it before but only orally and didnt really stick at it. I enptied the capsule (the capsules dont dissolve) and put it in to the other acidophilus capsules (they dissolve). I only did this once. I noticed a big improvement after around 2 hours. I then continued to take 2 capsules a day orally plus one folic acid tablet and one odourless garlic tablet. After around 2 days, no smell, no discharge. I did however notice some cramping and slight bloating, and symptoms of what felt like a UTI. I went to the doc and got tested, but all came back clear. Im not sure if it was the BV "dieing" or its just a side effect of the femdophilus... but it seems to have died down. Im still getting it occasionally but no where near as often as a few days ago. Ive now cut down to 1 femdophilus a day and will see how it goes. My only worry is that im flying to greece in 2 weeks, and i know the capsules wont be any good over there as the heat will kill the bacteria. Any suggestions?

I want to share with you my visit with a homeopath that could help the ladies here. I went to Doc Berni at Integrative Health to receive meds because she claimed that she can get rid of cold sores, (and all types herpes). While I was there I got meds to get rid of candida as well. $88USD & 30 days of taking drops under my tongue and the worst of the symptoms are gone, if not all. I've had this problem for so long that I'm not even sure what it's like to not have bv so I don't want to jump the gun and claim it's totally gone till I've lived this way for longer. I started meds June 17, symptoms faded with in a week even without taking any ACV. Without candida my body seems to be able to take care of itself and get rid of the bv.

I am truly grateful to Doc Berni and have high hopes as far as getting rid of coldsores for good, but that's 6 months of meds till I know how that will work out.

Thanks for reading.
