I've tried everything for BV and nothing will work!!!

hello all...my problem first started almost 2 1/2 years ago...i noticed that when i had sex i would have a very yeasty discharge,that was very white would smell very very bad, and would get all over the place (i had one or two sex partners but always wore condoms, but for the past year and half i have had the same boyfriend),even with everyday activites when i would be sitting or working i could feel the discharge come out and get all over my inner thighs and on my pant (i do not wear any underwear).  I started treating myself for a yeast infection  using over the counter medican(i usually get them very often and know when i have one).  when i had finished that, the discharge had not gone away.  i made an appointment with my doctor, they had taken a sample, and screened me for any STDS. the test came back clear on any STD but they said that i had an over growth of bacteria, they gave me antibiotics, but the meds never worked.  i had made two or three more appointments, they kept screening and testing, it was the same answer as before, i got another round of antibiotics, didnt work again.  the last time i went in my doctor said to eat yogart that had live cultars in it, i ate and ate but nothing seemed to get better.  still to this day i have the discharge regulary and is very embarrising and my boyfriend doesnt want really anthing to do with me when we have sex, and when we do he hops right into the bathtub to clean off.  i wanted any opinions or any help before i spend the money to ask a doctor on here! thanks

I know how you feel as well. I have had for a year now. The medicine doesn't work well for me either. It is amazing how it will work for the majority of women, but then there are the few women that it doesn't help. I also take the jarrow fem-dophilus and have seen great improvement in my symptoms. I still have it, but I have only been taking the pills three months and I read it could take awhile to get completely rid of it. I might try the folic acid as well.

I understand your pain!!!! I had this problem for years. I read this remedy online and it really works. Go to a health food store and get acidopholis (it will be in the fridge). I get Jarro-Dopholis by Jarrow (3.4 billion strains ). I started taking  2 pills 2-3 times per day and folic acid 1200 mg per day. I also inserted a jarro vaginally the first couple days at night... ( I only do this if it feels itchy or smelly) but i like the cheap ones from the store better for that they have 40 million strains and are powder like not capsule.. FYI i run them under warm water to start the process before inserting.  I don't take the folic acid anymore but i did at first and now I take 2 Jarro's everyday in the morning... All is well so far and its been at least 4 months... I had this problem for 6 years... Keep the jarro or whatever you buy in the fridge. The Jarro is $17.00 and the store kind are like $5. I really hope this works for you it did me... I know it sounds crazy, I thought so too, but after years and med after med you get fed up. I also stopped BC... it may have had a connection to the problem also. It is important that you get acidopholis with billions of strains because they need to go through your inestines etc..
