Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 No -- don't know the details -- wish I did, but I have read this multiple times. It works to inhibit the change from yeast to fungal form. That is HUGE, since the fungal form is more tough -- able to live without oxygen and forms a type of CARPETING effect that DIGS IN and makes itself right at home. I think of the yeast vs. fungal in that yeast is washable, while the fungal form has ROOTS! Since I have had a terrible case of endocrine attack from what I believe to be the candida, I can USE the biotin for my poor head of thin stranned and thin hair anyway! What a good thing to get MULTIPLE benefits from the biotin! By the way, I am DETERMINED to have a full THICK head of hair again WITHOUT the help of the HAIR CLUB FOR MEN! Plus, those cold feet are BOUND to warm up eventually! These are all signs of thyroid problems that I believe are DIRECTLY RELATED TO CANDIDA -- even though the thyroid bloodwork doesn't show a problem. God bless the Killing of Candida and YOU!!

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I believe 300 mcg is the recommended dosage in my favorite book: 'Prescription for Nutritional Healing'.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi all, Try ginger snaps, ginger ale, teas or ginger capsules. I have terrible GERD and nausea. This works better for me than any other type of treatment, even the Rx remedies. ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2006 Report Share Posted May 30, 2006 Sherry- I just get nauseous at all different times and just eat a little something and it goes away. It's probably helped me maintain my weight, too. Before the nausea, I just didn't eat too often. I wouldn't rate mine as extreme, though.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have never heard of that happening with Biotin... However, I do know that Biotin is intricately related with fatty acid balance so by adding it there's a chance you cleared some kind of blockade in fatty acid synthesis. There is an interesting article about biotin and fatty acids here: http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/118/3/342.pdf that mentions a " characteristic rash " found in biotin deficiency that is " is quite similar to that seen in deficiency of essential fatty acid (EFA) " . They describe it as a " scaly, erythematous dermatitis distributed around the body orifaces. " Could this be what you are seeing? Are you giving her EFAs? -Lana On 7/31/07, Ken Maher <kwmaher29@...> wrote: > > We started biotin for our daughter this past weekend in order to assist > in the never ending yeast battle.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 one more thing, she has a yeast rash on her feet, so the doctor started her on a topical nystatin. Just thought I would include that into the equation. Ken Maher <kwmaher29@...> wrote: We started biotin for our daughter this past weekend in order to assist in the never ending yeast battle.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 10 mg seems high to start with. I think Dana said 1 to 5 mg is what most need and I think she started her son on 400 mcg's but I could be remembering wrong. Maybe try to start smaller dosages or spread out in the day? [ ] Biotin I have been reading allot about the positive effects of biotin on the gut and yeast etc. so I decided to try some on my son. He was already on a good probiotic and had just finished some Caprylic acid a couple of days earlier for yeast. He didn't seem to really have a yeast flare up when I started the biotin, but I thought as a follow up I would give some a try. I gave a small dose (10mg) and I have to say, my son just went crazy hyper on it. He is always a very hyper kid, but this was over and above the ususal. The next day I didn't give it to him and he was better, but not back to normal. Today he seems back to normal. Does anyone have any ideas on what could have caused this adverse reaction to the biotin, I haven't heard any other bad reaction comments. I wonder if it's a clue to other things he won'e tolerate well.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Do you give both biotin and probiotics? If so, at the same time or different times?
