Need advice on Nystatin

[Guest guest]

Years ago we tried Nystatin for our now 13yo who is severe. He had a

very severe reaction (very aggressive/angry uncontrollable). The

DAN! practitioner we had at the time told us to let him work through

it. After 2wks we took him off, fearing he was going to hurt himself

or someone else.

We have a different practitioner who is suggesting trying it again,

& going very slowly (I don't know what the dose was then or how much

we gave). He has a very bad yeast problem & has severe reactions to

GSE as well. He's doing okay right now on 2500mcg Biotin, 1

Candidase, Custom probiotics, & 1 pkt Threelac, which I'll probably

increase. He usually has an initial (pretty mild) reaction & then

settles down.

I don't know about the nystatin again though.

She also wants me to try it for my 2yo who also has a bad yeast

problem. He is getting 2500mcg biotin & 1 packet of Threelac. He's

had GSE & done okay with it too.

However, he has a tendency toward respitory issues, & when she put

him on Diflucan he ended up in the hospital in distress. Candex also

made him wheeze, so neither is good for him.

Is Nystatin safe, you think, for him? I'm a bit concerned about it.

Thanks in advance anyone,

Michele

I would try it again and make sure you are aware of what dose. If he is

sensitive to the antifungal, even a small dose will make him ill. I don't know

if some of these practitioners think to tell you also, is when die-off begins

you cut the dose back until the body bounces back. Then go to the regular dose.
