Cut out all sugars and simple carbs. They feed the yeast. Eat Paleo-ish, meats, green veggies, a very small amount of low sugar fruit like berries, fats. Start a decent probiotic daily. This systemic yeast needs to be treated systemically, not just locally.
I think it takes a 1-2 weeks to really start working and clearing up. I know you said they're reoccurring so I would suggest trying a yoni cleanse. They're really amazing and have helped women with BV, infertility, and a lot of other things. Here's the website I bought one from www.yummyyonipearls.net
For external use, I'd suggest a shallow bath with about a cup of vinegar in it (maybe apple cider, because it smells a little better). I would not do any douching (especially not with an IUD!), but https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2567125/ does say, "Three vinegar-containing douches selectively inhibited vaginal pathogens associated with bacterial vaginosis, group B streptococcal vaginitis, and candidiasis, but not lactobacilli, suggesting to the investigators that vinegar (5 percent acetic acid) douches may be less harmful or may be beneficial." Be careful; if it stings too much, rinse off, maybe use some coconut

You are always such an amazing help - thank you! I did think a bit about diabetes (which runs in my family), so if this boric acid doesn't work I'll go back into the doctor.
I had similar problems many years ago. Really powerful yogurt can be squooged into the vagina, then lay on your back for a while to keep it there. It can help. Super-active probiotics too can be mixed up with slippery elm or something to make it like a slurry and put up there too. Don't use any starches though- they break down to sugars.
The slurry stuff can be used as a "implanted enema", that is put in the rectum too. Then lay on your back for a while so it doesn't insist on being pooped out immediately.
A syringe without a needle works for both places, but obviously NOT in the vagina AFTER the rectum.
A couple other things worked. The boyfriend used the anti-yeast cream on his penis several times a day for a week. Presto! no more automatic infections every month.
And a Betadine soaked tampon does the trick. There is some risk of becoming allergic to iodine that way though, so I stopped doing it. Allergy to iodine is dangerous and means no seafood ever ever again...
I really appreciate all these tips! I continue to have issues, unfortunately. Most of the vaginal symptoms cleared up and even the backside stuff was getting a little better, I thought, but after my period this month, bam! Everything was back again. Just made an appointment to see my doctor. I'll update here if I get any good results!!!
Also, I recommend baking soda douches twice a day for 1-2 weeks. In this case the probiotics should be stopped since it's an overgrowth of lactobacillius that causes this condition.

https://vaginapagina.livejournal.com/22229410.html has comments suggesting 5-7 days, and then once or twice a week to maintain acidity for the next couple months.
