If you are already on the antifungals you can continue them and do

the intro diet.

Doing the antifungals and intro together may boost die off and cause

more die off symptoms, so if you aren't using them now you may want

to wait a few days until after the intro and gradually add them in so

the die off symptoms won't be overwhelming.

Which antifungals is he on? Some of the Nystatin preparations have

sucrose in them.

The doctor proscribed a ketoconazole cream and an oral Diflucan. That

is what he was on before we got these results. I may not use the

Ketoconazole because it dries his skin out and I do not know how

effective it is.

Our plan is now to start him on the Diflucan as we figure out how to

pull off the intro diet. Then when we start the intro diet stop the

antifungals. Then see how he reacts. We may even try something like

oregano-oil after the intro diet is up and running.
