Natural Treatment For Group B Strep (GBS)

Natural Treatment For Group B Strep In Pregnancy Group B strep is the common name for Streptococcus agalactiae, a type of bacteria commonly found in healthy people’s urinary tract, digestive tract, and genitals. It’s so common that about one in five pregnant women will test positive for GBS at the 36/37 week GBS screening test. First, it’s important to know that GBS IS transient. You can test positive at 36 weeks and then negative at birth. Always ask for a retest if positive. Again, a targeted strategy can significantly reduce overgrowth. Also, ONE in 2000 babies get sick. Of these babies, 70% fully recover, 20% will make a recovery with a disability and one in 17000 will die of GBS infection (0.005%) this means 99.85% of babies born to a GBS positive mother will not experience any illness or death. Natural Self-Treatment 1.) Understand Vaginal pH (optional) : Use vaginal pH tester to determine if your being a good host to pathogenic infections. A higher-than-normal (more basic) vaginal pH disrupts the healthy balance of protective bacteria, particularly Lactobacillus species, which normally keep the environment acidic and suppress harmful microbes. When vaginal pH rises, these beneficial bacteria decline, making it easier for opportunistic organisms to grow unchecked. This imbalance, known as dysbiosis, increases susceptibility to infections such as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), which thrives better in less acidic conditions and can more easily colonize the vaginal environment when natural defenses are weakened. pH test kit: https://amzn.to/4qOsYCF 2.) Probiotic Supplementation (Oral & Suppositories) + Hypochlorous acid : Several different strains of probiotics have been studied for GBS prevention and treatment (see comments for research references) . While almost all probiotics will offer some benefit, probiotics with the strains listed below will likely be the most effective at preventing GBS. HOCl spray is another gentle and pregnancy-safe option for external use—it’s antimicrobial, soothing, and helps reduce irritation without harming beneficial flora. You can view these specialty probiotics + GBS protocol below. 3.) Fermented Foods & Antimicrobial Herbs : Consuming fermented foods increases microbiome diversity, reduces inflammation, and improves the overall immune response. Fermented foods boost overall health, while a well-formulated probiotic supplement provides a more targeted approach. Probiotic-rich foods to enjoy while pregnant include sauerkraut, kimchi, Cocojune, coconut kefir, and more. Incorporate spices with antimicrobial properties (list attached). 4.) Frequent Hygiene Baths : Add about 1 cup of Morton’s Canning and Pickling Salt (or any other pure salt, making sure there are no additives) and about 1 tablespoon iodine (can also contain kelp). The exact amount isn’t needed, these are rough measurements. Soak for 20-30 minutes.

Underwear Support: Wearing breathable cotton or bamboo underwear can help maintain vaginal health and prevent vaginal infections.

Avoid Inflammatory Foods (bonus effort) : Conventional dairy, gluten, soy, sugar, and corn. Summary : Group B Strep (GBS) is a normal part of many healthy women’s vaginal microbiomes, but overgrowth may cause complications during labor and delivery and increases the risk of group B strep in infants. Preventing and treating group B strep colonization may lead to better pregnancy outcomes.
