Re: Switching from Diflucan to Nystatin

[Guest guest]

Nystatin is taken 4 times per day as it is non-systemic. I think it's 250mg 4x's per day.

My six year old son has been on 200 mg diflucan 2X/day for close to two months. A month

ago we added the steroid Entocort to help with his enterocolitis and he has developed a puffy

face (side effect). I would like to switch Diflucan to Nystatin to see if his puffy face subsides.

The high dose of Diflucan really made a difference for my son and I was hoping to use a high

dose of Nystatin. Does anyone have experience with Nystatin and could advise the dosage for

me? My son weighs 48 lbs.

Thanks,

Dayna

My son seems to have excessive night urination when he's doing some

detox. We've seen this with chelation, mB12 and when he's going

through die off. For him, it seems to be a way that his body helps

to eliminate the toxins.

Perhaps this happens for your son when his body is eliminating the by-

products / toxins from the dying yeast.
