I have been suffering from recurrent bacterial vaginosis for nearly four years now. I have seen four different doctors who have proscribed every medication available to treat it. (Metrogel, Flagy, Metronidazole, and something that starts with a T) I no longer douche, I rarely wear underwear, and when I do, they are no-dye, cotton undies. I do not use perfumes, I have stopped using tampons, I use perfume free detergent. My doc even had my husband take Metronidazole. It comes back every month following my period, or after a lot of sexual activity. I no longer feel comfortable working, or being around other people because there is always some kind of odor. Any suggestions?
I recently started taking a probiotic called Primadophilus Reuteri. It helps to replenish the normal flora in your vagina. I've only been taking it for 2 days but I really notice a difference already. Also try folic acid and a b vitamin complex. Good luck.
There's also a great forum full of awesome ladies who share their experiences with BV and the treatments (rx and natural) that they have tried. It's http://www.bust.com/lounge/index.php?showforum=16.

Watch the amount of sugar you eat. my mom has this problem. after years of this she started changing her diet. eliminating one food at a time untill she found the culprit. she says sugar and wheat. so try that. good luck.
