Is Bifilac Effective In Treatment Of Allergies And Reoccurring Vaginal Infections?
Hello, I came across bifilac reseaching natural remedies for allergies. What most interested me was that it s a probiotic. I have taken many proabably hundreds od antibiotics from childhood up to my 30th birthday (im now 31) and now im dealing with repercussions.my antibiotic use wad used from everything to acne, chronic strep throat, ulcers, etc. In the past two years ive been struggling with reoccurring BV which I have also taken many antibiotics for that.I have dine much reserach and refuse to take any chemical based medicine/antibiotic becuase I want to heal my body and is why ive been researching natural remedies. Having said this is bifilac good for BV and allergy? Is it safe? Where in the US can I get this?

Hi Thank you for asking HCM I have gone through your query. Bifilac is bifidobacterium. It is a good bacterium for intestine. It helps in dysbacteriosis associated with antibiotic use also. So you can use it. You can get that in yogurt or kefir in supermarkets also. Capsules of it are available in most pharmacies. For bacterial vaginosis you should get a vaginal swab and if it is positive then vaginal suppositories with combination of metronidazole or clindamycin with clotrimazole will be helpful. Using intimate wash will be helpful to normalize vaginal bacterial flora and PH also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
