Hi everyone,
I'm new to this and just looking for any kind of advice.i have had this horrible thing from 18 to now 26 years old. I have tried metro gel,clindimycin gel both work but as soon as I have sex or come on my period it's game over I get the horrid bv symptoms again ( smel,discharge etc) I don't bath with bubble bath and I even wash my hair separate to the bath,washing powder has no perfumes in etc. My 2 year relationship has ended as I lost all confidence in the bedroom because of being paranoid about the dreaded smell. I have just started taking 2 fem dolphius priobitics as day is their anything else anyone can advise me I'm at my wits end.x

no grain at all first two weeks
no dairy
no carbs
no starches (potatoes)
no shade vegies
you folow this diet for three months
basically the name of the game is no sugar as in NO sugar at all. none. eating will become a completely joyless task. Unless you know how to cook well. you will probably get a herkseimer reaction. (candida die off) you need to take a few different kinds of anti-fungal and probiotics.
you can eat: green veggies (not peas carrots or tomatoes)
meat
eggs
maybe goat cheese
ive been on it for 4 weeks just started reintrodcing low-sugar fruits
i have had NO discharge
no smell
whatsoever
until i had one relasp of sugar
the next day
discharge.
there you go. no easy solutuion. But you will astonished at the health benefits and your face will love you. and you might lose some weight. I just gave you the basics of the diet. It sucks and it's really hard. I wont lie. but it actually works.
ask yourself how much sugar am i eating? how much carbs (that break down to sugar ) am i eating? guess what feeds infection? sugar.
i was blown away when i realised how much bad food i was consuming. it's no wonder that i ahve health ailments. I can't speak much for tampon vs no tampon but suffering from BV for 6 years- i do know BV.
good luck to you ladies.

Hi Marie, I have also been haunted, harassed, hounded and beaten up by this awful, embarrassing infection. I've suffered recurring BV for 17 years. I, like yourself, have had the usual treatments. I even make my partner wash himself before sex as I am completely paranoid he will re-infect me. I've used plain lubrications, latex free condoms, but the BV recurs again and again. I love my new partner of 7 months, but I'm terrified of having sex with him. It's heartbreaking. I am now going to try helping it with diet. I will keep gluten, dairy and anything sugar out of my diet. I've read it worked for someone else and I am desperate. Wish me luck and if it does, I will be back on here shouting it from the roof tops.
