    I just do what i can to keep the symptoms to a minimum. I have tried it all except the Femdolphilus 5 billion refrig. . Guess that will be my next stop. Its unbelievable how resistant BV is to all these remedies.

      I know my doctors are kind of at lose for words because I had my Pap smear and I had BV and a yeast infection and when I had my appointment at mayo clinic everything came back normal and I never touched the metronidazole because it doesn't work so I pretty much cleared up my own infection but nobody knows why it keeps coming I will continue to do my research I'm determined to fight this

      You say you never touched the metronidazole, because it dosnt work!

      Have you tried it at least once or are you going of what you read , because I took this medicine thinking it's not going to work at all and it has and it has not returned xxx

      Yeah a lot of ppl say that, I found it worked for me but I had to stop smoking and wearing mesh type thongs or I could feel it starting up again soons I stoped, with no need for more meds it was a horrible thing I was really bad with it at one point where I could smell it through pants and trousers just gets you really low , have you tried asking for like some sort of cervical test swabs or culture test ,? Or even a scan of some sort if you feel there is more going on, I don't know if o could of had trich and the meds took that away but then I'm thinking we'll surely if it was that it would be back when I slept with my partner who wasnt treated? rolleyes but it didn't come back after sex with him so im puzzled too it's such a weird thing.

    I don't know in what country you live but in europe they sell an antisepticum for bv. It works different than antibiotics and bacteria are les likely to become resistent. I can't use a brandname here but the working substance is dequalinium chloride. If you want more info send me a private message.

    Have you tried the violet gentian? Make half and half with water and insert with a tampon. It really works, but you have to take care of you overall health with vitamin D probiotics and take care of your gut with resistant starch. It worked for me.

      I've had that done in Iowa city a few times it would work but then it would come back how long did you leave it in there for? Did you do it just once?

      Where do you get the resistant starch what exactly do I need to do with it?
    • Posted

      You leave for 4 hours for 3 days, bv or yeast disappears but you need the other stuff to maintain. The resistant starch I get from banana flour the Brazilian brand works well for me it controls your blood sugar levels and maintain good health gut. The gut produces the bad bacterias that is why you need to control the source but once the bad bacterias are there you need to kill with antiseptic like violet gentian.

      From amazon, 1 tbsp with water before your meals 3 times a day.

      Thank you so much I will try this really hope it helps I have been changing my diet as well hoping for some results what kind of probotics do you use?

      I use the Reuteri and acidophilus. I take one a day and insert the Reuteri every other day. I used to have after sex but then now I only had one incident in the last 6 months and then I did the violet just for one day and kept doing the other things and it hasn't come back ever since. My plan is to stop some of this things or reduce, but they say you have to do for a while, specially the banana flour takes up to 6 months to get the full benefits.

      Do you take the acidophilus and reuteri separate or as as combination?

      Does the gentian Violet have to be a certain percentage? Or does it matter?
