He mixes it with honey, but my son still refused this. I ended up having to hold down three times a day and syringe it into his mouth. It's suppose to help control the yeast, but we tried the diet for 6 months and saw nothing, despite the fact that he was sure he was seeing something. Go figure. He saw my son three times for 20 minutes and felt he was different. I had him 24/7 and was sure there was no difference. Anyway, it works for some, but not all. We saw better results limiting yeasty foods and giving a probiotic. a - Madison WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2001 Report Share Posted June 22, 2001 Nystatin was developed in New York (hence the name: NY = New York; stat = state; in ) as an anti-yeast medication and it is primarily used as a treatment for Thrush, which is a basically a yeast infection of the mouth that babies sometimes get. It is not absorbed in the body and is therefore considered ok for longtime use. Taken orally, it passes through the digestive system and attacks yeast in the lower bowel. (However, there are those who question whether or not it is absorbed if the child is suffering from leaky-gut syndrome.) Also, according to Dr. Shaw, Nystatin use should always be accompanied by the no-sugar diet. However, Shaw somewhat contradicts himself when he writes that the suspension version is ok even though it contains sugar. We have had on the suspension version of Nystatin without the no-sugar diet and our data shows that when he doesn't get his Nystatin, his bm's get looser. I would recommend reading " Biological Treatments for Austim and PDD " by Shaw, Ph.D. Pat in Ohio Mother knows best! Trust YOUR judgment!

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 For people who use nystatin to fight yeast - what is a typical prescription? Im hoping my doc will give me a prescription, even though dealing with yeast is not really his thing. Best to query him with all the info at hand. This candex thing is no fun - and despite the description of no die off, I'm certainly having low energy and achiness and headaches increased. Though yesterday I had the greatest Epsom bath I've had for a while - I threw in some stuff from Lush as well - in that case, a Haagenbath Bath bomb and half a bath melt. I felt great afterwards.

I felt great afterwards. Mara, Reading that paragraph puts a smile upon my face – I especially like saying out loud ‘a Haggenbath Bath Bomb’! Priceless imagery! Thanks for that delightful description! I have no idea what a bath melt is though… Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Hi, I remember taking it 3x a day but I don't remember the dosage, sorry! He added Diflucan after a while too. You might be able to find a doctor who will give you a prescription on endfatigue.com, there is a practitioner finder--this is Dr. Teitelabaum's site.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2010 Report Share Posted February 4, 2010 Mara. I am currently on a yeast program. Eventually it will be diet only but right now Diflucan (I'm in the middle of 30 days worth) and to be followed by Nystatin. The normal dose of Nystatin powder is 1/4 teasp 4 times a day. I know you can get it in capsules, too, but I don't know the dosage there. Presumably four caps a day, as well, to keep a steady supply going. I prefer to just do the powder in a bit of water though it's rather bitter. Caution here. I have had Nystatin before, and I was told to sneak up to the full dose and I will do that again this time, overlapping some with the last part of the Diflucan. If you are very sensitive this can be as low a start as a " toothpick dose " , which literally is what you can pick up with the wide end of a toothpick. I will plan to start the overlap the last week of the Diflucan unless the doc tells me next week to start earlier. For people who use nystatin to fight yeast - what is a typical prescription? Im hoping my doc will give me a prescription, even though dealing with yeast is not really his thing. Best to query him with all the info at hand.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I read somewhere (pecanbread maybe?) that epsom salts aren't as effective when using soaps/etc. What do you think, true or false? I always like putting bubbles in my bath, but quit after I read that.
