Lactose Intolerant With Bacterial vaginosis

Q. Can I take Fem-dophilus (which has dextrose in it) for a bacterial vaginal infection if I can't have dairy?

A. Probably!

Now I know that isn't much of an answer but you are the person who knows just how sensitive you are to dextrose.

I have been in correspondence with Dr Gregor Reid who discovered the probiotics in Fem Dophilus and he said this about the dextrose in it; "with such low amounts in the capsules, I find it hard to imagine a reaction."

If you haven't seen this page on adding Fem Dophilus to yogurt it might help you. That lady also was concerned about the dextrose in the capsules.

I do know that they have used the Fem Dophilus capsule vaginally for bacterial vaginosis and got a good cure rate that way. Maybe that would be helpful in your situation.
