Kicked a chronic yeast infection!
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!

great product
I love this product. I haven't had any more symptoms since beginning this product 6 months ago. It was mailed quickly to me.

Absolutely love this product!
Before taking Fem-dophilus, I experienced recurrent bacterial and yeast infections. My doctor would prescribe medication for one type of infection and the treatment would lead to the other type. I was going from one medication to the other so often that my doctor was worried I might develop a resistance. I believe that this started after taking an antibiotic for bronchitis, killing off some of my good bacteria, and leading to a yeast infection. After doing research online, I discovered this is a common problem for many women. I chose to try Fem-dophilus because of the clinical research that backs the product up, and I have not been disappointed. Now I make sure to take this probiotic at the maximum dose whenever I am prescribed an antibiotic. I original started with the maximum dose for a month, during which my symptoms quickly disappeared (within a week or two). I was able to gradually reduce the dosage, now only taking one pill every other day. I plan to try every two days, and see if any symptoms return. Overall, this probiotic treated my infections better than any medication my doctor could prescribe.
