I used biotin and GSE, I never used Nystatin. The most I had to give

my son was 20mg biotin and 2 tablets GSE 3x per day.

Try increasing the biotin, see if things improve.

Be sure you are giving the charcoal 45 minutes after the biotin and

Nystatin.

Hi Dana:

Thank you so much for your reply and your great site:)

I was giving my son Biotin and GSE...started slowly and noticed a

difference almost immediately. Then I had regression within 2-3 weeks

after I started.

2 months into the GSE and Biotin, and Charcoal, he is at his worst ever

in hitting us, himself, headbanging and tantrums.

Si, I started the Nystatin along with the others.

His OAT showed extremely high yeast and oxalates.

Anyway, what else can I give to reduce the die-off?

Do you think maybe the Biotin worked initially, then did not? Or the

yeast built some resistance to it?

I started the Nystatin 5 days ago, about 800,000 units and oh

boy....talk about regression and violence!

I don't want to go the trad. medicine route! I really don't, but I am

so worried about him. He is really hurting himself (and us).

Once the yeast is gone, you need to remove the GSE because it can

cause bad bacteria overgrowth if given when there is no yeast. That

might have been the problem. Try removing the GSE, see if that helps.

A test only shows a " snapshot in time " . What is his CURRENT

condition? Does he still have signs and symptoms of yeast? Or are

they gone now?

In my experience, yeast did not build resistance to biotin.
