Top Reddit reviews mentioning Acidophilus Nutritional Supplements:
If you're looking for a vegan protein powder I really like the Garden of Life ones.
This is the one I get:https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Organic-Vitamins-Probiotics/dp/B007SYT7LO/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1525201950&sr=8-3&keywords=garden%2Bof%2Blife%2Bvanilla%2Bprotein&th=1
I usually do a scoop of powder, a cup of almond milk, and 140g of frozen strawberries. It's pretty tasty and ~200 cals.
Try taking a probiotic like Re-Phresh Pro B. I had a similar issue a while ago and this helped it tremendously. I haven’t had the issue since!
A probiotic! I was pretty constipated early on and tried all the things - prunes, fiber, etc, but once I started taking this https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Formulated-Probiotics-Guaranteed/dp/B00Y8MP4G6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=probiotics+for+women&qid=1626758255&sprefix=probiotic&sr=8-3 each day, I haven’t been constipated once and I’m now 33 weeks.
This one! https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Formulated-Probiotics-Guaranteed/dp/B00Y8MP4G6?ref_=ast_sto_dp I got it at Target and I noticed a difference almost immediately. Not pre pregnancy better but still much better than the first few weeks!
Oh I used to drink Yakult religiously, mainly for the taste. Lol But I found that the probiotics I take now have been the best out of all the kinds I’ve tried! I’ll see if I can figure out how to link it for you. :) They have them on Amazon, formulated for men and women.
Garden of Life Dr. Formulated Once Daily Women’s Shelf Stable Probiotics 16 Strains, 50 Billion CFU Guaranteed Potency to Expiration, Gluten Dairy & Soy Free One a Day, Prebiotic Fiber, 30 Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y8MP4G6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_WEDEVT85YJH9QSP87C4B?_encoding=UTF8&psc= That’s for women, but they also have a men’s version. I hope the link works, I’m not the best with Reddit. XD I’ve a lot to learn still.
I’ve never had BV so I can’t be much help there but as far as the probiotic I would definitely recommend trying a better one. I use a women’s probiotic that is physician formulated. It’s in a pink and white bottle and I get it on amazon. Kinda expensive (about $25 a bottle) but it works for me
I have more IBS-D than -C. I have been taking this for about 10 days now and I am happy to report that my gut is much happier (as measured by less gas pain, urgency, times per day). I had a thought at one point, “I am actually feeling normal again.” I am still avoiding all dairy and eating a pretty bland, restricted diet. But I feel cautiously optimistic.You can get it on Amazon, but I bought it at Sprouts.
I only had luck with this exact probiotic in this picture. probiotic
Yes you can drink kefir while on it and I can't remember what the doctors put me on but nothing worked.
The probiotic they gave you looks like a really good one! I am on a similar one with nearly all the same strains in it (I checked the ingredients for both) and it’s a lot cheaper! If you’re interested I get mine from amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079H53D2B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_zb3gEbKF5B0HC it’s only $18 right now!
About a teaspoon of straight, plain yogurt won't hurt. Yes, cats are lactose intolerant, blah blah, but with yogurt you're re-populating the gut bacteria. You see people use this a lot when the gut flora has been killed off because of antibiotics.
Another option is to just give her probiotics, which encourages whatever bacteria is left in her gut to grow. Proviable and Fortiflora are the two for veterinary use which could help.
One that's good for people with digestive upset is s. boulardii, and there's anecdotal evidence that it works in cats as a probiotic (works in mine). I use this one. Note that it has mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS), which is really bitter. So there's a decent chance the cat won't eat it, and the capsules they use are HUGE. A standard dose would be just under a full capsule, but I give a full capsule to my 14lb cat without issue.
Another option is to try canned pumpkin (not pie filling) for fiber. Take about a tablespoon and mix it in with wet food (or some cats eat it straight).
If that works, you could try doing daily supplementation with something like this. This stuff has different fiber sources, but it's basically dietary fiber with a couple ingredients which are soothing to the digestive tract (slippery elm bark, specifically). I've been using this for about a year with my cat. He gets 1/4 teaspoon/day, and I'm still on my first canister.
You can also use metamucil.
renew lifethis one comes up often and can actually be found at most grocery stores. But then I purchased this one, maybe best seller is what got me but they both seem to be in the same realm of the help needed for my body women’s probiotic - this LCM247 can be found in most yogurts, Kiefer and cheese as well!
I've never had that happen, but I definitely would put a pause on both tampons and baths until things are feeling completely better! A really key part of treatment for a vaginal infection is following up the antibiotics with vaginal probiotic suppositories. This is what helps to actually repopulate with good bacteria / replenish the lactobacillus that may have been wiped out.
There are protocols on myvagina.com that you can look into for this but I believe their BV protocol suggest transferring the Azo women's probiotic to a vegetable capsule, to be inserted vaginally. And the folks at Evvy recommend taking this: https://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-Formulated-Probiotic-Supplement-Acidophilus/dp/B079H53D2B Lactoferrin is important to get the bacteria to stick around locally in the vagina.
And have you done an Evvy test? It lays out your entire vaginally microbiome so you can see all bacteria present and tailor your treatment/how to move forward. You can order it on your own: https://www.evvy.com/
Make sure you are drinking tons of water! And, you might be gaining meddle. Also, try taking a probiotic for your gut health, like this:https://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-Formulated-Probiotic-Supplement-Acidophilus/dp/B079H53D2B/ref=sr_1_2_sns_sspa?crid=1UXGRKPKKBWZ9&keywords=50+billion+probiotics+for+women&qid=1666558200&qu=eyJxc2MiOiI0LjE3IiwicXNhIjoiMy40OSIsInFzcCI6IjMuMzIifQ%3D%3D&sprefix=50+billion%2Caps%2C102&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

And, finally, check in with a doctor about your asthma, thyroid, and any possible immune issues and ask your OBGYN about PCOS. Good luck!
https://us.naturalslim.com/collections/productos-naturalslim®/products/good-flora this one is the one that worked after using it for about a month.
https://www.amazon.com/Probiotics-Formulated-Probiotic-Supplement-Acidophilus/dp/B079H53D2B?maas=maas_adg_8C9262106D63D3BF13A7519B169ADE54_afap_abs&ref_=aa_maas&gclid=CjwKCAjwzNOaBhAcEiwAD7Tb6P_KKwDpbgHC47--cmSrNvKplK6zQKubW_De0InLO76ws5Rw... this one is the one I’m using now and has not been as good as the other one I’m thinking about trying with another one because even tho the first one worked its more expensive and it does not last as long since I was taking 2 capsules instead of one.
I have diagnosed “extreme anxiety” as well. And I would say just try to relax . 1 in 3 people have HPV which literally means if you threw three people in a room 1 of those people most likely has it . Don’t feel alone.
And as for anxiety . What helps me is taking my medication. I take buspar. I also go to therapy. I also notice a huge difference since adding a probiotic to my diet . There is a big connection between stomach health and the brain , you can even find more info about this on YouTube. But I recommend adding a probiotic to your diet .
If you are interested here is a link to the kind I use https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Formulated-Probiotics-Guaranteed/dp/B00Y8MP4G6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_mod_primary_sns?crid=3JPND2UEGAIMK&keywords=garden+of+life+probiotics&qid=1664640541&qu=eyJxc2MiOiIzLjk5IiwicXNhIjoiMy4zOCIsInFzcCI6IjMuMz...
I also got them all the time when I first started having sex. It’s been said but I’ll say it again because it’s crucial - pee after sex. Make sure to drink lots of water all the time so you’re flushing everything out consistently. Also, I started taking a daily probiotic which made the biggest difference. I take the Garden of Life once daily Women’s probiotic.
I have done this before, but I noticed that the smell and flavor gradually get slightly worse with each batch.
Instead I've been using these probiotic capsules. Just open a capsule and use that as your starter for each batch. The capsules are pretty cheap and keep for years in the fridge.
I just ordered this. It's not an affiliate link or anything like that, so should be safe.

But remember I chose this based on my particular needs. There are a few dozen types of bacteria used in various probiotics, so make sure to find one that has what suits your goals. This just happens to look like what I'm after.
RepHresh Pro-B Probiotic Supplement for Women, 30 Oral Capsules https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001FOPQQS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_VZT124WVMCD92J18NRHK?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I've NEVER gotten a yeast infection from antibiotics when I use this! Just space out your antibiotics when you take the probiotics. For example, take antibiotic in am, probiotic afternoon, and antibiotic in pm (if you're to take the antibiotics twice a day). Otherwise, take one in the morning and the other in the evening.
Spinning babies is free! I did the stretches some in second trimester but really did them a lot in the third trimester, along with LOTS of walking, walking feels so good in pregnancy :)
I looked up the exact probiotic needed for babies to be able to digest their milk and this one has it-
That’s a good brand of probiotics- getting on top of nutrition will set the stage for a healthy mom and baby, I’m glad your into checking out that book :) I do not know any doulas, sorry, but that’s a great idea! Just don’t let them induce you unless it’s really really necessary, and try natural inductions if you have too (your close to 42 weeks), the rate of C section after inductions is SUPER high- also the longer you can labor at home the better your chance of having a natural birth, I had all three of mine with no drugs and it’s totally doeable, if I wouldn’t have had a midwife I probably would have had a C section with my first but I labored at home so long I was only in the hospital (transfer because I was soooo worn out and not progressing after 3 days) for 1 hour before my son was born (LOL!) Try to find a good doctor or midwife in the hospital that supports laboring in your own way (not hooked up to the machines constantly) and you express your wishes beforehand. I birthed an hour away from the hospital with my second and everything was great, a good midwife will be able to foresee any issues and get you there in good time if that’s what you choose, I am blessed to have had a very medically aware midwife who had all the tools and drugs and was very experienced, I was in good hands with her for sure. Hospital births can be great too though :) good luck and congrats again!
I used to take two femdophilus, then I switched to taking two rephresh pro b, now I'm taking two jarrow dophilus daily. So about 10 billion probiotics? Is this the garden of life one you take? https://www.amazon.com/Garden-Life-Formulated-Probiotics-Guaranteed/dp/B00Y8MP4G6/ref=sr\_1\_7?crid=L6X8U8PZBV76&keywords=garden%2Bof%2Blife%2Bwomens&qid=1652980903&sprefix=garden%2Bof%2Blife%2Bwomen%2Caps%2C76&sr=8-7&th=1
Dude. MIRALAX. Take 2 caps a day. You'll thank me later. Just do it !
Start over ! Flush yourself out with dulcolax. Take like 3 of those babies. Wait 10-20 hours and you'll be on the toilet.
Take probiotics and prebiotic.
Probiotics 60 Billion CFU - Probiotics for Women, Probiotics for Men and Adults, Natural, Shelf Stable Probiotic Supplement with Organic Prebiotic, Acidophilus Probiotic https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079H53D2B/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_1D7X06MABBY3YX84P10Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
These are the best sellers on amazon. After a month of taking a pill per day religiously my bloating and cramping went away.
Drink water obviously and at the least eat 20gs of fiber when you start this routine.
Take the antibiotic as it will help if there IS an infection there. Don't forget to top up with probiotics as well - those get wiped out with antibiotics. A good one for vaginal/bladder health is Garden of Life Women's Daily Probiotic. This will also help you avoid the nasty yeast infections that often follow antibiotics.
After that, maybe check to see if you have a different type of cystitis? It sounds like you might, especially if there is no pain while peeing. It's basically inflammation of your urinary tract and there can be a number of causes.
Well wishes!
I started taking Jarrow probiotics as well which has multiple probiotic strains. raster referred me to them and so far I like them. Honestly for me the vanco was worse than the infection. It destroyed my gut and I’m still trying to get back to normal. I’ve been off it about a week now. Slowly getting better, but now of course I have bad acid reflux from it all lol. Also, look into digestive enzymes. They really helped calm to bloating and gas whenever I eat.

These 2 are THE BESTTT Quick fix until you can go to the doctor. She can literally take this overnight and it will eliminate the odor effectively. You can find them at Target or your local grocery store!
Oof okay, that's not a great response from them. That's super annoying. There's always a normal level of gardnerella, but an elevated level means BV. It absolutely could one thing or could be a combo of hormonal stuff, dysfunction, and/or an infection. I'm going to kind of outline some stuff that helped me.
First and foremost: Antibiotics. Specifically vaginal metronidazole and/or clindamyacin (I ended up with a particularly resistant strain of bacteria, yay me). Eventually it got to the point that I had to do a 6mo course, but I was on an immunosuppresant medication and am already immunocompromised so it may not be as bad for you. Also, if you're currently sexually active your partner should receive a course of oral flagyll.
Second: Women's probiotics, taken every single day. I use the Garden of Life once daily womens as it has the best variety of lactobacillus I've found.

Third: Boric acid suppositories. They work really well for some people, but not as well for others. I used Azo brand, but really any brand should work.
Fourth: Hygeine. No hot tubs, pools, baths with bath products. It sucks so bad because I love baths, but most bath products are SO bad for you. I've been able to integrate baths back into my life as long as I'm very careful about what products I use. Everything has to be PH balanced. Honestly, this goes for any soap or product that goes anywhere near your vagina. I can totally make a list of what I use if you want.
Fifth: Clothing and detergents. 97% or higher cotton underwear, try to avoid thongs and super tight pants. Avoid fabric softener. Use unscented detergent i.e. all free and clear. Wash your underwear separately.
I was going for the recommended 50g or 60g I think. I went mostly plant-based eating beans, but also fish, twice a week etc. plus a scoop of the protein powder in hot water. The powder really helped with my protein intake. I used this— Limited-time deal: Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein Unflavored Powder, 20 Servings, Certified Vegan Gluten Free Organic & Non-GMO, Plant Based Sugar Free Protein Shake with Probiotics & Enzymes, 4g BCAAs, 22g Protein https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031JK96C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_dl_MSB94TXQ12SFPFKA1VZR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
You can also save money by getting a Saccharomyces Boulardii probiotic from another supplier. Here is one: https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Sacharomyces-Boulardii-Intestinal/dp/B0013OVW0E
Watch the dosage, though. Some are cheaper, in part, because they put less in each pill.
My yogurt game went through the roof when I started using these as a starter. They slide open and you can store them in the fridge for years. Eight strains are better than one. https://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Jarro-Dophilus-Supports-Intestinal/dp/B0013OUKTS
