I have been Symptom free for over 2 months as most of you know this is a long time to be symptom free, also as many of you know it is very expensive to buy probiotics, and pills every month. I was wondering if anyone has stopped taking what they where, and didn't have there symptoms come back. I don't mean there symptoms haven't came back for a few weeks but for months or even years?

    As a pharmacist specializing in women's care, I would recommend for you to reduce (but not totally discontinue) probiotics to 3 x/wk. Try something less expensive such as Florajen. I have had great success with it

      Not at all. find a good one such as Florajen or Orthobiotics (hard to find but let me know if you need help locating it). Probiotics are harmless. Take on empty stomach

      I've been taking balance complex you're suppose to take 2 every day, and than vitamin c with rose hips I take once or twice a week. Don't take The balance complex and vitamin c at the same time though because it gave me stomach cramps when I did that. So I'll take the vitamin c a few hours after my first balance complex pill.

      No I am continuing to take balance complex 2 pills everyday you have to order the product on amazon, and than 1 vitamin C with rose hips once or twice a week witch I bought at target. Don't take the vitamin c and balance complex pill at the same time though because it did give me bad cramps, I take the vitamin c a few hours after I take my first balance complex pill. I also started working out and eating way healthier, wear only cotton underwear, and cut out coffee, coffee really triggered making my BV bad. But yes I do still take the probiotics everyday I'm to afraid to stop because it's the only thing that has kept my BV away for this long, it's been about 2 in a half months since I've had any problems. I'm still trying to figure out if anyone has cured themselves and has been cured for awhile without taking probiotics.
