    Hi, sorry you’re suffering! I will tell you what I’ve been telling everyone: Raw organic honey works for BV. (Yes, it does need to be raw, not just organic. Honey that is cooked— pasteurized— loses some of its healing properties.)  Insert a small amount on the tip of your finger, once in the morning and again at night before bed. Use a panty liner to catch the honey when it seeps back out. (Enough will remain inside to do its work.) Honey is very effective at restoring the natural balance of vaginal flora, has no side effects and is relatively easy to use. I discovered this remedy after 2 years of BV—and was symptom free within a day of starting the honey treatment. I want to add that there is a lot of natural advice (about honey, vinegar and other remedies) at a site called Whole Woman Village Forum. (My comment may get flagged if I include the link, so just Google it.)  As for diet, eliminating processed sugar, as well as cutting back on natural sugars, is very important.  Also, it is good to eat naturally fermented/probiotic foods like raw sauerkraut, kombucha, kefir, yogurt, apple cider vinegar, etc. As you repopulate your body’s good bacteria, the bad bacteria will not be able to compete. And  if you are not already doing so, start eating good fats: avocado oil, real butter, coconut oil, and olive oil. Good luck!

      Frieda69422, can you do oral honey or must it Be vaginal, only? Vaginal anything scares me to offset anything more than anything. Advisement?

    I have a cure! I've been suffering from chronic bv for about a year and hate antibiotics so I've used garlic (cured it for awhile but it came back stronger), apple cider vinegar (Works temporarily but makes you dry), hydrogen peroxide (works temp and also makes you dry),  NOW I finally stumbled upon a cure. Yogurt! I had one of those insters, the ones that come in a box of monistat, filled it with yogurt and walla ALL symptoms were gone. PLEASE it must be non fat plain yogurt (preferably with probiotics but not necessary as I just used plain yogurt and it worked great) I learned that if you don't COMPLETELY cure it with a method the bad bacteria learns to fight it and it becomes useless in the future. (Must be why the garlic became ineffective, it worked fabulousssss but I only did it once).  So I strongly suggest doing it for a few days to be sure. It will leak so wear a pad. Now the only issue I've had is a yeast infection from time to time, which for me the yogurt does not cure but at least I have no signs of that pesky bv smell or discharge!!! Yeast infections only last a few days for me so I just drink plenty of water and it goes away on it's own.
