Re: An alternative to flagyl for gut bacteria? Probiotics? Help!

Have you tried powdered Nystatin?

Yeast takes a very long time to completely kill when you are going the

antifungal route and you have to address the pH of the body if you want it to go

away forever. Nystatin can be used indefinitely while you are working on the

rest.

To go a conservative route, not knowing anything about what you are taking

currently, I would say take a look at the following and do research on them as

they pertain to your situation. This will cost you about $40 and last a few

months or more (not including the last one for yeast), depending on how it is

taken. More importantly, it should eliminate the yeast entirely because you

make it impossible for the yeast to grow.

Potassium Citrate or Coral Calcium & Cod Liver Oil - help bring down the acid in

the body and raise pH which makes it difficult for yeast, viruses, bacterium,

etc. to reproduce:

Sea Salt for minerals, to balance pH, etc. -

Olive Leaf extract - oleuropein in olive leaf is a natural wide-spectrum

antibiotic, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal:

Papaya & Bromelain enzymes for use with every meal to help digestion among other

things:

The more expensive route, but one that definitely works is to use BioGuard and

Probiotics Rx. It'll run you $175.45, but it will knock it all out and you

shouldn't have any die off reactions. Go to the link below and look at usage:

Use natural antifungals. Probiotics as you learned are not enough for most. We

use Grapefruit seed extract, but there are other options like Pau D arco,

caprylic acid, biotin, Candex, garlic, oregano....

Lots of probiotics with either one of these: pau d arco, caprylic, GSE or

oregano would work. Just choose one to try.

> After using Difflucan for yeast, my daughter seems to get very stimmy. Biomed

doctor gave us Flagyl to give her after using the Difflucan. Worked like a

miracle. Almost no stims, listening better, talking better, totally calmer, the

best she's ever been for about 3 months. But after the Holidays symptoms came

back. Thinking yeast again. So we start Difflucan. We have about a week left of

21 day Rx. She is very stimmy again. Very grumpy or giggly silly most of the

time, dark circles under her eyes, & did I mention the tantrums? I'm thinking

bad bacteria, but I'm afraid of using the Flagyl because the last time she was

on it she was very tired, lying around, she seemed so drained and sickly, (which

is totally not like her, even when she is sick) for about 2 weeks. I was

wondering what I could use that wouldn't make her so sick this time. Something

more natural. We've tried probiotics before, Culterelle, Probio gold, Three lac,

all of those gave us NO improvements, even when we had them shipped cold & kept

in the fridge. Keefer does seem to help her, but I have only seen the kind with

dairy & she is alergic to dairy. It gives her eczema. She is on the GF/CF/Yeast

free/soy free/ egg free diet as well, due to food intolerance testing done by

DAN Dr. She needs something soon because she isn't sleeping well, and is looking

very run down even though she is very hyper most of the day. So any help would

be appreciated. Thanks so much.

Our daughter also had very similar experiences with Diflucan and Flagyl.

Diflucan caused her stimmy, throw up and upset, whereas Flagyl made her

compliant. We tried Nystatin with Zero results, as it is a very very mild

anti-fungal.

I think Flagyl is very safe and effective for bad bacteria. Just make sure to

use the double the amount of probiotics during and after Flagyl.

Culterelle, Probio gold are not so effective against yeast, they are good

against bad bacteria. I find Primal Defense (or Primal Defense Ultra) probiotic

very effective against yeast.

In addition to that, natural anti-fungals are also equally important.

Good luck,
