Thanks. I saw it posted for someone else right before this one. The DAN! wants

us to stay at a half tablet for now until the D clears up. She just ate 3 hard

boiled eggs and some applesauce so I feel much better. She has never eaten HARD

BOILED eggs before- just fried in olive oil. We are seeing her being very calm,

moreso than we've ever seen her and using her words very well today also.

We've had to use this drink before. Jenn & K Electrolyte Drink

The SCDT Knowledge Base Electrolyte Drink

Many Pedialyte and Electrolyte drinks are made with dextrose. Unfortunately,

it is difficult to be sure if the dextrose is unadulterated (see Dextrose). It

is easy to make your own.

Electrolyte drink

1 quart boiled water

2 tbsp. honey

1/4 tsp. of salt

1/4 tsp.baking soda

Can be kept in refrigerator for 24 hours, and then a new batch should be made.

guys! My daughter has been on nystatin for 5 days now. She has been on SCD for

over 18 months now. I thought we had cut through the majority of the yeast but,

maybe not. She went from having severe constipation on SCD to 2 normal BM's per

day before she went on the nystatin. She has had tons of antibiotics in the past

also. She has been pooping all over the place again and the D is severe. She has

the sore red ring around her anus and has almost no apetite. Just drinking like

a little fish. She won't eat any of the intro. foods so I'm going to try a

banana. Wish me luck and please send me the recipe. Jenn & K

How is the D now? Is it slowing down?

Yes, less stringy looking and more mucousy.(Sorry for those explicit details.)

We did some electrolyte popsickles and ice cubes and she is acting a bit better

but, I can still tell by her demeanor that she is having die-off. The dark

circles under her eyes are a dead giveaway with her.

Can nystating cause D in a person that doesn't need to detox? Thanks .

Waiting to hear from you, Jenn & K

Are you giving her epsom salt baths or activated charcoal? They may

help with the die off.

It may. How was her speech before the nystatin (either the full dose or

the half dose)?

Sheila,

I have seen absolutely no change in speech since starting the nystatin but,

she is much more calm and doesn't ride things anymore. With all this talk about

Nystatin, I am rethinking this. I can't give her epsom salts baths because she

drinks the water. Any other suggestions? I have some organic MSM. And, since her

D had resolved, I started to give her the nystatin again yesterday. The last

thing I need is to battle a bad liver too. Her apetite for new foods lately is

growing at an alarming rate with no hives, skin rashes, gas, dry skin, and

before nystatin she was going 2 times a day reg., formed Bm's. What a miracle in

itself!! That's why we are here. We need SCD to heal. Thanks, Jenn & K

You can make epsom salts lotion yourself.... very easy. Then you can just rub it

on her back or wherever. Here's a link with recipes:

Hi Jenn,

<< Sheila,

Nystatin is often made with sucrose, so you need to check the label

or ask the pharmacist what is in it.

Most any medication can cause diarrhea and nystatin is not an

exception to this. Some may experience nausea and or vomiting also.

Some of those side effects could be from the dosage level and some

may come from clearing out the yeast.

I had a very bad reaction - stomach cramps, pain etc. I don't

believe my reaction was from die off; I just don't handle medications

or supplements well. I had a better luck with the natural

antifungals and enzymes.

Some people do very well with the legal nystatin , so if it works for

you go for it.

Do you have any specific questions about nystatin? If so, I'll do my

best to answer them.
