A member asked:
I have bacterial vaginosis. i got an antibiotic from my doctor, but i have been eating yogurt and it has been helping. should i still take the antibiotic?

I : I would ask the doctor who prescribed it. There are some serious bacterial infections. Regular yogurt has predominantly dead cultures. To get good probiotic levels think of kefir, greek yogurt and otc probiotics.
