Lactobacillus acidophilus for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I had yeast overgrowth for many years, brought about after using Nasalcort for a few years. I had a thick white/brown coating on my tongue that no scraping would help. I had vaginal yeast, itching, and discharge. After only one bottle of 1 billion bacteria acidophilus, MY TONGUE IS PINK AGAIN! My vaginal itch is gone and the smelly discharge. No one is more surprised than me, I had previously taken Nystatin and Diflucan and they failed. I will keep taking it because I want to keep the yeast away, and it helps my digestion. I cannot say enough good things about this product. I look forward to taking it, it tastes great."

Lactobacillus acidophilus for Vaginal Yeast Infection "Okay, so I’ve had a very bad yeast infection. The itching and burning was UNBEARABLE. I literally could not even stand up at work for long periods of time. The pain got worse and started affecting my skin on/around my vagina. Everything I tried just wasn’t helping. The discharge was getting worse and so was the burning. My mother brought me a bottle of Acidophilus and advised me to take the powder out of the capsule and apply the powder directly to the area. This method did calm my symptoms down a WHOLE LOT, but when it started to wear off from me going to urinate, the itching would return. So finally, I inserted a capsule into my vagina before bed, and the next day I felt GREAT! I was a little hesitant about doing this because I wasn’t sure how safe it really was, but I wish I would’ve done this a long time ago. I’ve experienced no itching or burning ever since I’ve inserted the capsule into my vagina for the FIRST time."

Lactobacillus acidophilus for Vaginal Yeast Infection "OMG! On a scale from 1 to 10, I give this stuff a MILLION! I have been battling a yeast infection for nearly 2 months. After 3 boxes of Monistat, 8 boxes of yogurt, and 2 tubes of itch cream, 4 tiny tablets have completely turned things around! I mean, it was so painful and itched SOOOOO BAD! I literally felt like I would never get back to normal. My mom suggested Acidophilus yesterday. I stopped by her house and picked up a bottle that expires in 2 months, but I was so desperate I didn't care. The dosage said to take 2 tablets, but with it nearing its expiration, I decided to take 2 and then later another 2. 24 HOURS LATER, I feel like a new woman! Thank you, Acidophilus, and thank you, Mom!!!"

Lactobacillus acidophilus for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I was prescribed a 10-day course of Bactrim antibiotics for treatment of an abscess. Around day 4, I started to get a little itchy “down there.” I immediately drove to CVS, picked up a bottle of Acidophilus capsules, and the symptoms were gone by the next morning."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have been using this for one day, and I already see a difference. I first had a yeast infection at the end of May. Treated it with Monistat 1, I guess it threw my pH off. So I had bacterial vaginitis right after that. Then my period. So I've been having a really terrible time, as you can imagine. So I have been using unscented soaps, bathing a lot, drying myself well, wearing cotton underwear. Until I discovered this L. acidophilus. I took 2 tablets (1 billion live bacteria) yesterday after noon. I felt okay. Still some odor and a little discharge. This morning, I took another dosage. Throughout the day, I haven't had little to no itching. Tonight, I took another dosage, and even my tenderness is going away. I also drink cranberry juice often. I'm feeling pretty good."

Lactobacillus acidophilus for Vaginal Yeast Infection "I recently started taking Jardiance for my diabetes, and immediately developed a yeast infection (a common side effect). I picked up an OTC treatment, which worked, but I wanted something that would work long term, so I invested in the slightly more expensive acidophilus, with the billion cultures (at CVS). I take one each day, but if it gets a bit itchy, I take another, and that gets my system back on track!"
