I've started cutting back on sugar, I never ate much of it, but I was drinking fruit juice.

Years ago I used to use white vinegar douche. Have not had to do one in moons.

Cutting way back on sugar/carbs is definitely a good idea.

I saw 2 obgyns and I was tested for something (I forget what) and it was negative. There are no parasites either. I did not have an infection for over 20 years, it has to be a hormonal thing since it happens with my period, I just figure I can't be the only woman who's dealt with this.
