If you suspect yeast die off, try giving activated charcoal about 30-45 minutes after the Nystatin, see if that helps.

No-Fenol, charcoal, or both. You can also reduce the dose of the Nystatin, or have it compounded to eliminate other ingredients that maybe she does not tolerate. > I was told the supplements she didn't need her body would throw-out. Depends on what you are giving and whether or not she tolerates them. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of my four kids who is low copper, and I have to give him an occasional copper supplement or he will have problems.

Chelation removed all his food and supplement intolerances, and gut yeast issues, altho did not do the WOW results that other parents notice. However, then I was able to add supplements, which caused the WOW results for my son. So for my son, chelation allowed him to tolerate foods and the supplements, and the supplements recovered him. > I hate that my son is NOT that black and while when it > comes to supplements and such! ;-( After chelation, my son was much more noticeable with good/bad reactions to things. I used ALA for chelation. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Hi Bobbie, Yeah, I always gave it to him on a full stomach. I take zinc too (cause I'm deficient!), so I can relate to the sensitive stomach issues!

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Share Posted April 3, 2006 While bear in mind..I am not a " poop " expert but it sounds like it is working. The foul odor and color seem to indicate yeast die off and removal. So..yes indeed it is working. > > Hello Everyone, > > I started my 23-month old baby on Nystatin 4 days ago.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 We used nystatin for a 3 month course (I think). The dose was 500,000 units or 5 cc/ 1 teaspoon every 8hrs. It worked while we took it but when we finally stopped, her yeast issues came back in less than a month. The diflucan/flagyl combo worked much better for us. It was a nice short course and the effect lasted about 6 months. Sheri Wang > > Has anyone taken Nystatin?

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 500,000 IUs (pills) three times per day for one year. It works great! P.S.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Sheri, that is intersting. I have tried Diflucan and it works but I think it is harsh to take long term. Wow that is alot of units. What does it come as a liquid or something? What is flagyl? I've never tried that, but think the diflucan is good. What did you notice with it? I noticed having more energy, and less yeast infection itch. ssheibani <ssheibani@...> wrote: We used nystatin for a 3 month course (I think).

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Does it make a difference the pills vs powder? I'm trying to figure out what it would say so I can ask my dr as he is more familair with Diflucan. Cowen <mlcowen@...> wrote: 500,000 IUs (pills) three times per day for one year. It works great!

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Diflucan is a greater problem with the liver. Nystatin works only in the gut and is not absorbed into the blood. The pills don't taste bad. --- R <christina2005r@...> wrote: > Does it make a difference the pills vs powder?

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you go with Diflucan, you might want to have it compounded. It has aluminum in it otherwise. I am trying to figure out whether that isn't responsible for my son's consistently rising aluminum hair levels... FWIW, my son's liver function has only improved while he has been on Diflucan. I don't think I would attribute the improvement to the diflucan itself, but sometimes there is more stress on the body by having it go haywire with yeast, viruses, etc. than there is by treating them with things that are considered stressful to the system.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 This may be his way of letting you know he is uncomfortable. Is his bottom itching him? Is he having pain in the abdomen? Yeast can cause some awful GI things. Could be die off but I'm no expert. Amy sudha_vaidya <sudha_vaidya@...> wrote: Hi, Its been 3 days since I started my child on Nystatin. Approximately a month before this we started him on supplements and probiotics. The difference we have noticed since we started Nystatin is that he is having BM daily (he was constipated earlier 1 in 4 days which became 1 in 2 days after supp/probiotics started) . Also he is putting his hands through his pants and diaper and touching his butt practically throughout the day. At one time he was trying to pinch his abdomen. Does this mean the anti-fungal medicine is working? or is it becoming hard on his system?? Anybody who has given anti- fungal treatment to their child what changes did you notice after starting the medicine? How long can nystatin be given safely ? We have also put him on anti-yeast diet since the day medication started.

For my son, it would have meant the yeast from inside his gut, was migrating and being eliminated. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, Just to clarify, we are covered in fungus (candida albicans) all the time. This includes skin, mouth and genitals. When we take something to suppress our immune systems, it often results in over-growth of these buggers. Hence a yeast infection. Nystatin cream can be applied to skin and it also comes in liquid form as a swish and swallow. When fungus becomes intense, fluconozole (the one a day pill for vaginal infections) becomes key. This one does interact with many cardiac drugs though so your prescriber needs to know your history. (Queen of Fungus) Looking for the perfect gift?

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Thanks for your reply Amy, Are you living in the UK too? I thought i was going to have to have a tantrum to get the nystatin as the Doctor was a " newbie " and had to ring another Doctor to get advise, i ended up speaking to the other Doctor on the phone, who tried to tell me that nystatin is topical, lucky for me i had come across Nystatin before for my daughter who had a bad case of oral thrush. She then agreed to give me the prescription, the trouble i believe is that they have come across this before - the yeast in the gut - and they really haven't a clue how long to treat it for. x > > we have been doing nystatin for several months. the dr scripts it...so if she only gave a week then she only gave a week... that does sound a tad strange??? we have ours done at a cmpd pharmacy. i give 1 ml 4X a day but it equals a totaly of 2 million units/day.i know some folks even go higher. if the dr DID perscribe more... then the pharm can't deny it... they should give you a month work i'd think... > > Amy > Homeschool and Life Blog > Art, Music and Nature Blog > Healthy Home Blog > > > > > > ________________________________ > From: michelle0471 <michelle0471@...> > > Sent: Friday, January 9, 2009 4:26:15 PM > Subject: Nystatin > > > Hi > > My son recently had a poop test done which states he has a moderate > yeast infection, i took him to the doctors today and got a > prescription for a 30ml bottle of nystatin, he has to take 1ml 4 times > a day so it will only last 7 and a half days, i asked if i could have > a repeat and they basically said no.
