Absolutely!

Ben got thrush (yeast in mouth) and they finally gave us Nystatin. Standard

medical practice stool tests had come back showing no yeast, so they thought

we were crazy for suggesting it was the problem. After just three days on

Nystatin, he's having normal poops for the first time since we got over the

initial pre-diet constipation.

My question is How can I convince a " regular " doctor to prescribe Nystatin,

when the only tests he understands say that it's not needed?

Hi,

My daughter benefits from Nystatin, even though she's never shown yeast via

blood test and stool test. The Organic Acid test did show yeast metabolites,

though. I've been told that cell wall-less yeast will not show up on stool

tests. The doctor who prescribed it didn't offer it at first, but I scheduled

an appointment strictly to discuss yeast and he prescribed it after I told him

my reasons, especially stressing symptoms. Be sure to stress that you are

already doing a yeast diet and probiotics (right?). Our environmental allergist

now says all ADHD kids should have a trail of Nystatin! Check Dr. Semon's site

at www.nutritioninstitute.com for yeast info. Perhaps you could obtain Dr.

Semon's book or point the doctor to readings from his site?

Good luck, K.

| Have you tried the Great Plains Labs organic acids test ? This could be

something objective-looking to push in front of your doctor....

Some people have used grapefruit seed extract from the HFS. You might

want to get some into on that. (used it for yeast probs that is)
