For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have type 1 diabetes, and because of high blood sugar levels, I used to suffer from yeast infections at least twice a year. A friend told me about acidophilus pills, and I am forever grateful. I take them by mouth a couple of times a month to prevent yeast infections, and if I ever feel one coming on or just generally feel any kind of irritation, I will break a pill in half and wet it a bit so it's more comfortable and insert it into the affected area. You definitely need to get comfortable with yourself to do that, but it's so worth it. It won't completely break down and might come back out after a couple of days, but it works. Taking too many by mouth gave me a little bloating and gas, but I'll take that over the painful infections. I hope this helps."

For Diarrhea "Terrible, quick, negative response with loud stomach growling and 3rd day/evening, blast of diarrhea keeping me in the bathroom with gas bloating. Very uncomfortable physically. No choice but to stop. Disappointed, hoping so much for help regulating the system and regular daily normal functions."

"I love this stuff. I've been taking it for years just to keep regulated. As I got older, I started having chronic BV and abdominal pain. I'm not consistent in anything, but I know that every time I feel symptoms come on, I take 2 and instantly feel the pain ease away. By the morning, all smells are gone. I swear by this stuff. It does make you a little gassy, but I'll take gas over a smell any day. If you do experience gas, etc., just stop taking it for a day or 2!"
