Yeast was Re: Anyone ever test regular food for a reaction?

[Guest guest]

,Thanks for that update. I think I did remember reading that before and forgot! I will keep that in mind for DH. BTW, I managed to convince him that all the things that he was cutting out because he felt they were to blame for his rash (under the logic that it was a sensitivity issue), all had one thing in common -- negative effects in the presence of yeast. So he agreed to do an oil of oregano test. He is taking 2 drop sublingually three times today. I told him I expected at least 1 of three outcomes -- rash would get better, much worse, and/or feeling flu-like symptoms. I said that if absolutely nothing happened after 24 hours, that I would shut up about him needing to test for yeast. Boy I hope this gives a definite, undeniable

response!AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, May 8, 2010 4:25:12 AMSubject: Re: Anyone ever test regular food for a reaction?

"Diflucan first for a month. Then

Nystatin. I asked my doctor why the switch, did Diflucan lose it's

effectiveness after a month? He said no, they work differently. Diflucan

"surrounds and escorts the yeast out of the body" and thus is

usually pretty mild. It works on the easy to get yeasties. Then

after it has done the job, Nystatin comes in to mop up the harder to

find, harder to kill ones. Nystatin does kill them, so it can cause

die-off."

She also mentioned that as she approached the end of the month on

Diflucan, she started taking small doses of the Nystatin and building

up to the proper dose so that the body didn't get slammed all at

once. I am working hard at convincing DH to try this!

That was me, and I might just give an update on my meds here. I did

try the Nystatin, starting literally with toothpick doses (the amount

you can get on the end of a toothpick, the small one first). Even

after building up for a few weeks (and not to full dose) very slowly

I was (I thought) having horrendous die-off so I mentioned all this

to the doctor. He said from my description it couldn't be die-off as

that would come and stay a bit and then ease off and go in cycles,

but not build up and stay bad or continue getting worse. He said (as

with some other meds) I must be allergic to the Nystatin. So, I'm

not doing that after all but staying on the Diflucan. He said it will

just maybe take a little longer this way but at least I'm tolerating

the Diflucan pretty well. Considering the above, which he told me

first, I'm not entirely sure WHY the Diflucan taken longer will get

the harder yeasties, though, but I have an excellent alternative

doctor, so I tend to believe him.
