MoreThis is a reply to # 1,720,491Hi. I'm 19 years old I have been suffering with bv on an off for a year now. Iv been with the same guy during this and it first started when me and him first got together. I do however have herpes type 1. Other than that I'm clean. I have taken Antibiotics over and over but it just comes back now I feel as tho I'm ammuned. I just got done taking flaygl again I don't think it worked. I read about your baking soda and changing your diet. I'm going to do this. Fingers crossed that it works. Dealing with this is very depressing and I don't want it to cause stress to my relationship. I don't see myself getting the fishy smell mostly the white discharge and sometimes sour smell. Anything else you can add to this baking soda idea? How long have you been cured and how long till you saw results ?

So earlier today I inserted this yogurt called Bio-K Plus CL1285 in my vagina. and HOLY COW, the yogurt destroyed all the white discharge. It took place within an hour. I was also eating this yogurt and I will continue to do so if this is the key. The small 2 oz, bottle is $3.99 by me. I would consider that very expensive in comparison to the big containers of dannon and what not.
In addition to this yogurt I was drinking Garlic tea. I have read in several places that Garlic is one of nature's most powerful Antibiotics and antimicrobials. I bought raw garlic ($1 for a cluster) and was steeping it in hot water to make a tea at least twice a day.
The last three things I was taking...I'm not sure if they were working for me but I'll continue to take them in tandem with the stuff above. I purchased this gel called Himalaya gel or V-gel $28.99 for 3 as a bundle (worth it cause the tubes are small). It's a gel made in India that specializes in attacking and preventing BV or other types of Vaginitis.
I started taking the Nature's way Primadophilus again.
I also purchased this herbal pill called vH Essentials it was $ 8.99 for 60 capsules, another product that specializes in attacking BV internally.
While taking all these things I have been on a strong regiment of multi-vitamins, folic acid, B-6, Flax seed oil, and Fish oil gel caps.
Ladies, within 2 days I have seen major changes in my body and I will continue this routine for another 2wks. I understand that this is an infection and my biggest concern has always been my cervix. Once I test for my pH and monitor my discharge, if I'm free of all of it, I'll post again.
In the meantime I hope that what I've written here has helped another woman who is looking for answers like myself.

This is a reply to # 1,720,449Hi Denise,
Thank you for your many responses. I know the book you are talking about. First, I'd like to say that I think it should be criminal to charge so much money for an ebook, but I digress. Second, the only thing I didn't try was the baking soda water as a way to lower acid. I did however, bombard my body with lemon and water and lime with water. I even went on a fast to try and starve this thing out. As I am aware, BV is different for every woman. I'm not saying what you tried doesn't work and doesn't work for other women. I'm sure that it does ^_^ As for myself, what worked for me was a massive intake of garlic, yogurt, and veggies. In addition there were sooooo many other things I tried but I must say I'm not ashamed. I feel like I compiled a list that someone can stumble upon and see what works for them. In the long run, I truly hope I've helped someone else. Ultimately what has worked for me, to keep things at bay is something called Vh Essentials BV Homeopathic Treatment. I haven't had any discharge for a week. I was actually able to finally have pain free sex. I of course, am not convinced that this is over but one thing I am really really happy about, is that I found what works for my body. But since I was dealing with this for six months, I just feel myself on edge about the relieve. Like I'm still expecting something horrible lol but I know nothing more is going to happen. I will admit one of the things that greatly affects BV is diet and one thing was a big NO NO was drinking lots of hard liquor. I stopped drinking and cut out grain intake. Most of my diet is protein and greens and I drink lots of water. I think the sad part to all of this is that this is just trial and error and I still have to give up things I enjoyed because I don't want to deal with the misery of BV, it's not fair!
I can't say that BV is just about pH, it IS an infection and if left unattended it can cause an inflamed cervix, making sex very very painful. While I do believe the pH in our body has something to do with all this we also have to find what natural things will help fight inflammation. If anyone wants natural foods that fight inflammation feel free to ask and I'll list everything I know. This has truly been one crazy experience that I don't think any woman should have to go through.- Re: Battling Bacterial Vaginosis jessymc

This is a reply to # 1,800,800please first you mentioned yeast now i'm 19 nd study pharmacy in my 3rd year please for 1 do not douche ur vagina because yeast feeds on anything wet or close to water second do not drink garlic boiled in hot water cos once that garlic is heated it's worthless third please buy a bunch of garlic take 1 clove peel it and scar it with your finger or knife then insert in your vagina and please try drinking water mixed with lemon juice and honey tastes great. when u insert the garlic, the taste nd smell hits ur mouth immediately so i'll advice do this at night before bed at first don't mind the burning sensation that's a sign it's battling it already nd reduce your intake of grains eat more veggies nd fruits too much Antibiotics is bad take this from a pharmacy student i'd love to hear from you do this until u see changes bye..remember do not douche rather buy femfresh intimate hygeine made with camomile and aloevera..

This is a reply to # 1,756,665Hi Jessymc,
prodructs you can try that are cheap and may help treat BV.
Douching with Hydrogen Peroxide once a day if you want to keep the discharge and smell at bay. cost=$1.00-$2.50.USD 32.oz bottle. Use one 4 oz. bottle and fill it half way with the hydro and the rest with distilled water or water that has been boiled.
Vitamins! a multivitamin plus extra folic acid and vitamin B complexes are good places to start. cost= multivitamins$8.00-$10.00, Vitamin B complexes start as low as $6.00+, Folic acid $4.00-10.00, depends on mgs.
Drink Garlic Tea! Garlic Cloves sell in a bundle from $1.00-2.50. crush those bad boys up and stir it into hot water and drink. It doesn't taste that bad compared to other things I've tried lol.
Nature's Way Primdophilus 30 pill ct is 6.99USD on http://www.swansonvitamins.com
This helps repopulation that good bacteria in the vagina.
And Eat lots and lots of yogurt! The best brands with the most probiotics is Chobani and Kefir. Kefir is a bit pricey but is worth not only drinking but inserting into the vagina as well. It will help with inflammation and discharge.
These are some things you can try and buy that won't break your wallet. If you'd like to try other things that might be a bit more expensive please email me or ask and I'll be happy to share.

This is a reply to # 1,725,789Hello, I just wanted to post on this forum because I always told myself I would share what I discovered, when I found a cure for myself. Clearly, doctors don't have any answers and it was up to me to search for relief. 3 years later with the most AWEFUL case, here I am, writing on a forum. I have tried EVERYTHING. Most "solutions" had little to no help what-so-ever. A few be-rid of one symptom but not the other and some had very short term temporary relief. This infection will change your entire life. The entirety of the person that you are. My self consciousness was DRAINED. I didn't want to go anywhere or meet anyone and felt doomed for the rest of my life. BUT I AM NOT DOOMED! I AM FREE! AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO THANKFUL IN MY LIFE! The answer is actually very simple, for my case. I hope this will work for others too. I strongly believe it will, which is why I'm writing this today. Trust me, I've shoved stuff up there, I haven't shoved stuff up there, I've resorted to BORIC ACID (kills roaches), I've done crazy unimaginable things, but there was no need to. The answer is so simple. Are you ready?......VEGETABLES. !??!?!! What? Yes, vegetables. My body was lacking the nutrients I needed!!! Let me explain it as simple as I can. Your body has a PH level. Acidic is very low, think 0, and Alkaline is very high, think 10. There is no BASE, like some of you may be thinking. It's either acidic or alkaline. An acidic PH level in the body is prone to disease and cancer and the more alkaline your PH is the less prone to cancer, disease and infection you are. BV victims have an alkaline PH down there which is what caught me off guard but then once I started thinking about it, it all kind of made sense. I didn't have the nutrients I needed, my PH level is very acidic, so my body as a defense mechanism is over compensating to try and even it out? Possible?? I do remember doctors telling me that my body is producing to much of the "good stuff" to try and fight the "bad stuff". Maybe I should give a little credit to the white coats. Lol. Any ways, I took a PH level test (you can buy them at Walgreens, it measures your saliva) So it measures you BODY's PH levels. I couldn't get more acidic if I wanted to. I am at the bottom of the chart! So it worried me, because it essentially means I am not healthy and my body is not healthy. So, I started researching. How can I get more alkaline PH levels in my body? I found out that just because a food item is ACIDIC when it's on the shelf, when your body metabolizes it, it can change to a different PH level. So you have to be careful. Essentially the rule is YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT! If you eat food that metabolizes in your body as an ACID, you will be ACIDIC and vise versa. So the trick, EAT FOODS THAT ARE ALKALINE!!! Ah-ha! Simple right? So I found this awesome website, you can check it out, it's called The Alkaline Sisters. Google it, it's full of information! I basically learned that green foods are alkaline. You want to eat as many greens as you can handle!!!!! Also, in return, you need to stay away from ACIDIC foods. So stay clear of sugar, carbs, coffee, etc. I didn't think I ate too bad so I thought well ya, this will be pretty easy. Boy was I wrong. I started noticing what I am putting into my body and it's shocking to me. I was eating so horribly! About 3 days into it I was craving Sugar so bad! But I felt so good, I couldn't go back! I have energy and the BV is COMPLETELY 100% GONE!!!!! It took 2 days of eating alkaline and 100% of all symptoms were gone. It's insane!!!! I even feel clean. Like that feeling that was so distant. I can get out of the shower and actually feel refreshed and clean, instead of just a washed body, if that makes sense. This is life changing for me and I had to share it with you all. It's a blessing in disguise because our bodies are telling us something is not right. I'm thankful that I get to eat healthy now and have a healthy body that's alkaline and not poisonous! I have a green smoothie in the morning, (you can buy them pre-made but it's better to blend them your self) and I basically try to stay away from meat and processed food and fill my body up with as much green foods as I can get my hands on. I hope this helps you all. Sorry it's such a long message but I want to be able to explain everything. Check out that website and google this information and go buy a blender!!!! It will help, I promise! I also want to share that I take daily: (2) 2 billion active cultures of Acidipholus, (2) 850 mcg Folic Acid, Iron, Prime Rose Oil, and Apple Cider Vinegar pill. I also want to add that I know this is the answer for me. 3 days with no sugar, 3 days with no symptoms. I had a few sips of a soda on the fourth day and a couple hours after I had some discharge. Didn't have anything but good foods after that and haven't had any symptoms what-so-ever since. I hope this helps and I hope that you copy and paste this to another post for others to see and learn about! Or post your own story! Let's spread the word and get this nasty thing under control!!!!! Good luck to you all.

This is a reply to # 1,725,789Hello there!
I have been dealing with this for about 6 months now, (I can't even believe it's been that long), and after SCOURING the web for any and all info I can find regarding treatment/cures/etc., this has been the first website/forum I've found to be helpful. Can you please tell me if all the things you've tried are still working? I'm considering the Bio-K as it doesn't seem to expensive, but I just wanted to check in and see if you are still doing well with this treatment. I noticed this post is 4 years old, so I'm really hoping you are still following it. Thank you!

This is a reply to # 1,833,109I'm glad the vH essentials inserts have worked for you. They still work for me. But it wasn't a long term economical solution at $24-28 a treatment for 6 days. But it is effective. The pills are ok but they work best in tandem with the inserts. Hope that helps. =)

About a year ago, I started doing home remedies. I started with the peroxide as a douche/wash and this only masked the infection. I tried the garlic, tea tree, apple cider vinegar, you name it i tried it.
This is most definitely a nutritional thing. Here is the only thing that worked for me. Accuflora probiotics DAILY. I took about 5 a day for the first week. Plain unsweetened yogurt every single day. EVERYDAY. Green vegetables. EVERY DAY. Folic acid supplements. This is not going to work overnight. Give it a few weeks. I promise you this works.
When my diet gets poor or when I forget my supplements, the infection will start to come back. I also think that lemon juice may hurt more than help this infection. I had been drinking a lot of lemon juice and noticed that my infection was starting to come back. Coincedence? I don't know. I am going to keep an eye on it.
Also, for immediate help with hiding the smell, clean yourself with Balneol perineal cleanser. This will mask the smell. Try it!

I started to then get BV after every period. I stopped using tampons. I stopped having sex. I used the meds constantly. And nothing. Finally after going about a year or more without sex the bv did stop.
Unfortunately my husband have now been separated for a year and I've started seeing someone. WELL MY WORST NIGHTMARE COME TRUE. soon as I became sexually active again (I'm 35 years old) the BV came back with a vengeance.
I refuse to let this plague keep me feeling so insecure. I'm now in a monogamous relationship. I had my tubes tied 7 years ago. And of course I used other protection for other reasons when we began having sex. We now are committed and I'm horrified. He's been understanding. But to fear receiving oral sex. Or to worry every time we have sex... "Omg do I smell.. Is there a can of sardines coming out of me". I'm still embarrassed.
I started using the VH Essentials line. The oral pills. The vaginal suppositories, and the BV vaginal time release pill insert.
One night I forgot to use the suppository. And bam. Woke up in the morning with that smell and discharge.
Along with a yeast infection to boot. So now after intercourse and periods I'm guaranteed BV and a yeast infection.
I recently went to a woman gyno. She was great. Very much praised the VH essentials line as well as using the hydrogen peroxide water douche but not too often. She said once a month if I can... The vaginal suppositories have PREbiotics. I have been very grateful to the VH Essentials line.. Although nothing is "curing" it. I will have to life with doing all these things to keep my ph levels at good spot and also keep some good bacteria in there.
****now here's something I never read before.. That my dr informed of...***
Luvena (can be bought in drugstore in the feminine hygiene aisle) luvena makes a line of wipes, washes, and a prebiotic lube as well as pre filled applicators that are to be used at night. I have found that using the VH Essentials or the Luvena PREbiotics nightly have really REALLY helped me A LOT. As well as my taking the VH essentials oral capsules.
The vaginal time release pill insert worked great when the BV started. In fact I used half a tablet one night without using any other vaginal suppositories of course. By morning I was odor and discharge free. The next night I didn't even take the second dose. I was curious to see how long this half a pill lasted. I haven't used it since. Only the prebiotics.
I'm also now taking a probiotic just to keep the healthy bacteria in my body for the BV as well as just staying healthy.
It's worth a shot. For me I've been 3 weeks BV free. And that's record time (knock on wood)

I had been unfortunately plagued with BV for well over 10 years. I feel everyone's pain and frustration. I began taking grapefruit seed extract capsules, 2 caps twice a day to prevent cold sore breakouts.
Not only did my cold sores not occur but my BV went away as well!
I had and am also taking acidophilous (1 capsule/day..Fem-Dophilous)
and am also taking liquid D3 w/ K2 (5 drops orally/day). I have
never felt better! I do believe the grapefruit seed extract
was the the kicker though! Acidophilous did help but the combo
really eliminated it entirely. :) Hope this helps someone out!

Drink cramberry juice.The smell will be strong for a few days until all the infection comes out. After that, no more problems. Proven by me and friends who had similar problems and drank cramberry juice. Give it a try. You will lose nothing but the cause of your problem.

The doctors said I caught it from my exhusband from where he cheated so much he became a host.I have finally got this mess down to where its just a rash on the outside but still painful I have to keep myself shaved to gueven be able to stand it.

I also think that high Sugar diets and stress aggravate the issue. Definitely do not believe that this is one issue. I believe that it is also contained in my throat area as well and my doctor refuses to follow up or investigate. I am thinking of visiting a specialist and/or NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic to get help. I am resistant completely to any of the medication and Antibiotics and have been dealing with this for years.

I also think that high Sugar diets and stress aggravate the issue. Definitely do not believe that this is one issue limited to "down there" but one that is affecting the entire body. I believe that it is also contained in my throat area as well and my doctor refuses to follow up or investigate. I am thinking of visiting a specialist and/or NHS genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic to get help. I am resistant completely to any of the medication and Antibiotics and have been dealing with this for years. It is embarrassing and scary-- I don't want to have future complications such as PID or Cancer or STD's from having this condition and being that it is reoccuring...I feel in my heart that it is BV with an underlying condition...All STD tests come back negative. My doctor assures me that this will not be the case (PID/Cancer) because I am vigilant and proactive in dealing with and maintaining this issue and STD risk is only high during an infection since it makes it easier to catch things. I do believe that BV is certainly aggravated by condom use and/or other bodily fluids such as semen or saliva coming in contact with "down there" and that it could be specific to certain traits and products that men use. I was told that since I have a different strain of this condition (resistant to medications) that I will most likely deal with this for the rest of my life. That sometimes there is no cure that it is just maintenance from here on out. I refuse to settle or believe that. Especially since I have no history of STD's at all. and since the first time of using the supplements with the unscented soaps and acv rinse that I notice a difference within an hour. This is utterly embarrassing and a pain in the ass. I have started going to counseling for this. Absolutely ridiculous. The doctors tell me that it is most likely triggered by a hormone imbalance. I plan on trying to Keep an open mind and stay strong, this will be definitely something that can be managed and ultimately cured with time and attention. I dont believe doctors are on the same page and need to get it together to help us before we have a serious epidemic. I strongly believe that BV is something that can be passed around. Not enough is known about the transmission or causes of this condition. Sex is not the only trigger of this condition but it sure makes it worse.
