what worked for me

what worked for me

1) ONE shower a day- or no more than TWO

2) Washing vaginal area with water only
and washing pubic hair with dove unscented sensitive skin bar

3) ON undies using unscented laundry detergent- NO Fabric softener- and doing an extra rinse cycle.

4) taking Fem-Dophilus orally 2 times a day every day -forever
and inserting fem-dophilus vaginally (empty the contents into a gelatin capsule so it dissolves) about 2-3 times a week

5) taking vitamin D-3, B-complex with folic acid, omega fatty acids, calcium citrate

6) eating fresh fruits/veggies, lean meat/poultry/ fish

7) staying away from carbs- except brown rice, brown rice cereal, and brown rice cakes

8) lots of water

9) NO DOUCHING- used to do the hydrogen peroxide douche, but that really upset the balance

10) NO REpHresh or anything else in the vagina

11) less is more

and of course the anti biotic which did work for me when I had BV was TINDAMAX (like Flagyl, but not as severe... taken only once daily for 5 days)

so thats pretty much it
