For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I purchased vaginal boric acid online. A friend referred me to a specific suppository. I used the 1 at night and noticed that I was having cramping and a tender lower abdomen. The next day, I experienced 3 sharp pains in my left lower abdomen. I did not take another suppository the next day due to the reaction I had. Well... I decided to try another suppository again 2 days after the 1st suppository, and I felt bloated, had heartburn, was gassy, and had a tender belly. I’m not sure why I had these symptoms, but I won’t ever take this again."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I will never take these again. I've tried them 4 times. The first time I used them, it felt like my entire insides were about to fall out of my vagina, so I stopped. The second time I used it, I had sharp back pain and cramps, the third time was the same. It wasn't until my fourth time that I really paid attention to the pattern. Just the other day, I used it for the fourth time, and I am now suffering sharp back pain, bloating, gas, and bad cramps. I will never use these again, and I will be making an appointment to see my doctor or go to the ER if the pain gets worse."

For Vaginal Yeast Infection "I have Candida glabrata, (a not so easy to get rid of type of Candida) so after reading positive reviews online about boric acid, I gave it a chance. 1st night I used this thing, I had severe cramps, bloating, and abdominal pain. So, I took a break for 1 day and then tried again. Same thing happened, the pain and the bloating was unreal. I quit taking it. Never again."
