Jarrow Formulas Fem-Dophilus - 5 Billion CFU Per Serving - Womens Probiotic Supplement - Urinary Tract & Vaginal Health - Up to 30 Servings (Veggie Caps)

This magic pill is the only thing that really worked to rid me of chronic yeast infections due to long-term antibiotic use. I tried everything, from anti-fungals to kefir to Diflucan and NOTHING worked perfectly. Sure, the kefir worked moderately well IF I drank it every day. Sure, the Diflucan worked for a few days, until the yeast came back with a vengeance. Topical anti-fungals did NOT work at all, although they did add a nice burning element to the already-itchy hell I was living.Fem Dophilus, which did NOT arrive cold but which I refrigerated after opening, worked almost immediately. I took one orally, inserted one up my vag, and by the next day, my symptoms had almost vanished entirely. I've been on it two weeks (1 pill orally per day), have had sex multiple times during those two weeks with no issues, and my vag still feels great. I've had better cervical mucus on it too, which makes sense, since I'm not overrun by yeast anymore.This product is amazing. AMAZING. For those suffering, let me assure you, it is worth every penny and then some. Also, organic, PLAIN Greek yogurt works better as a topical treatment than any anti-fungal you can buy. It's cheaper, wonderfully cooling, and works instantly to alleviate the itch and burn. It's not practical for use during the day, however, so I recommend taking a Fem Dophilus capsule as soon as you get them, and then slathering your vag in plain Greek yogurt right before bed. You'll wake up a new, less-yeasty woman!

If you have ever suffered from a YI, BV, or a general "off" feeling, you seriously need this amazing stuff. Not only does it do a better job than most drugs or prescriptions, it's all natural and won't throw your body all out of whack. I've always got a bottle on hand just in case, and if my immune system is run down or I get put on an antibiotic, this is my go-to product. Since using this, I've NEVER gotten another YI or case of BV. All the "good bacteria" in this probiotic work their magic in getting you back to a normal pH, so your body can do its job naturally.I honestly can't say enough about this product. If you're thinking of trying it, go ahead and order because it will likely change your life as positively as it's changed mine and thousands of other women's. If so many of us get so excited about a product that we actually take the time to write a review, there's got to be something to it, don't you think? :)Get it. Feel better. And feel free from any buyer's remorse because this stuff WORKS.Just a tip: Make sure that wherever you're ordering from keeps it cool during shipment, and it's best if you can stock up during the colder winter months just in case.Another tip: If you're taking it to head off a potential YI from taking antibiotics, be sure to take this as far apart from taking your antibiotics as possible. For instance, if you're taking an antibiotic every 8 hours, take a couple of these 4 hours before/after one of your doses.

Instead of trying to murder your yeast with antifungals, why not just send it packing with probiotics? I had a really stubborn infection for almost four months. I was tested for everything--diabetes, low iron, thyroid problems, etc. But I am healthy and there was no obvious medical reason for my infection; my doctor just kept asking if I was stressed out? She wanted to prescribe 7 months of Gynazole-1. The list of things I'd already tried was very, very long. From OTC yeast creams to natural supplements to prescription creams and Diflucan, nothing had driven the yeast into submission. I had already tried Culturelle, which is supposedly one of the best probiotics. Don't get me wrong, Culturelle is great---for your gut. I've since learned that the reason it wasn't helpful in my situation, was because acidophilus GG doesn't colonize the vaginal/urinary tract, only the intestines. I wish I had heard about Femdophilus in the first place. It really does have the proper probiotic strains to rebalance vaginal flora. I have been taking it both orally and inserting it vaginally--maybe that's TMI, but it just made sense to me to put the bacteria where it belongs instead of swallowing it and waiting for it to eventually find its way there. The relief was almost immediate, and after several days, things just kept getting better and better. I plan on staying on this one long term. I was browsing the Jarrow website, and saw in the FAQ's that for yeast they also recommend another probiotic called Saccharomyces boulardii. It is a beneficial yeast that will colonize your gut and make it harder for candida yeast to thrive. I figured it couldn't hurt to try, since it's inexpensive and the bottle contains a 90 day supply. Plus, like other probiotics, studies have shown that it boosts your immunity. I can't wait to give it a try. Incidentally, if there is a silver lining in all of this, it's that taking all kinds of probiotics, even the ones that didn't help my yeast infection, really does seem to have helped my immunity; I haven't been sick, even when my children were. Forget trying wacky diets or boiling your underwear to get rid of yeast!
