First of all, it’s important to know that I do believe in going to see the medical doctors for illnesses. Doctors have a definite function in our society and their knowledge is important for survival. There are definitely times when it’s crucial to obtain medical help, and if those critical times are missed, it’s possible we may die.

Bacteria have cravings, too. When you have food cravings for chocolate, candy, cookies, pastries, donuts, white bread, and other processed foods, this sets off a sex craving for the bacteria and they’ll reproduce like crazy! Refined carbohydrates, sugar, alcohol and caffeine are no-no’s when you have bacterial vaginosis. The next time you find yourself craving any of these foods, it’s time to stand back and ask yourself if the momentary pleasure is worth the itching, burning, pain and embarrassing smell.
