Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Can anyone tell me, if a pregnant mom drinks while pregnant of cause can the kid be born with an over growth of candida, and can this come back when they are older? Because I know my mom consumed alcohol when she was pregnant with me and she used to tell me how I used to have skin rashes between my thighs and gentile area (we used to laugh about it). So can this come back when your older and have compromised your immune system by eating meat seldom because you don’t eat chicken? _____ From: candidiasis [mailto:candidiasis ] On Behalf Of Helen deHavilland Sent: Friday, November 21, 2008 6:38 AM candidiasis Subject: Re: starting 6 year old on nyastatin..need some help...guidelines nystatin is pretty harsh stuff - especially for a child. probiotics is a must and diet - no sugar etc Helen 4 <HYPERLINK " mailto:fasolo74%40 " fasolo74 (DOT) -com> wrote: From: fasolo74 <HYPERLINK " mailto:fasolo74%40 " fasolo74 (DOT) -com> Subject: starting 6 year old on nyastatin..need some help...guidelines HYPERLINK " mailto:candidiasis%40 " candidiasis@-groups.-com Received: Friday, 21 November, 2008, 12:49 PM hi there..havent done all this in years with my som so I need some help...my son definetlyis yeasty..skin irritation,, brain fog, red rash in his tooshy, white patch by nose, smelly breath,....

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 i wanted to mention that nystatin can be a 'gentle' antifungal. i was going to go the natural route w/ GSE then met a number of folks who had some really bad gerd from it. My DS takes the antifungal and we are adding enzymes and probiotics. we had to do myralax to get his gut to clear for all of this to actually work but then bacing off. we do some fruits and fruit juice but almost no 'pure' sugar for him. DS is 8 yo. we are working w a doc on this. she actually upped the units / day and concentrated it (via a compounding pharm) so that i just have to give him an eyedropper full..but i do it 4 X a day. It is funny- on another group the primary person says that nystatin is too 'gentle' and you really need to go to something more severe..but it really depends on the yeast involved. etc. Amy Homeschool and Life Blog Art, Music and Nature Blog Healthy Home Blog ________________________________ From: Helen deHavilland <helen_dehavilland@...> candidiasis Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2008 11:38:08 PM Subject: Re: starting 6 year old on nyastatin..need some help...guidelines nystatin is pretty harsh stuff - especially for a child. probiotics is a must and diet - no sugar etc Helen 4 <fasolo74 (DOT) com> wrote: From: fasolo74 <fasolo74 (DOT) com> Subject: starting 6 year old on nyastatin..need some help...guidelines candidiasis Received: Friday, 21 November, 2008, 12:49 PM hi there..havent done all this in years with my som so I need some help...my son definetlyis yeasty..skin irritation,, brain fog, red rash in his tooshy, white patch by nose, smelly breath,....

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Hi, Nystatin seems to have only local action, only 1~3% is absorbed. Best if taken with food. If candida is not systemic, Nystatin is best choice. Pls see below a copy & paste done from knowthecause.com But if it causes local irritation, wiser to stop. In case of opposition/disbelief, try googling - Nystatin gut antifungal Or goto knowthecause.com & check FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS? (about us) All answers @ websites only. ------------------------------------------------------------ Are prescription antifungals safe? The newer systemic, or bloodstream, antifungals are much safer than the older ones like Nizoral of Griseofulvin. Some of the newer ones include Diflucan, Lamisil, and Sporanox. The safety depends on both the length of time these are used and with which other medications they are taken. All of these antifungals are filtered through the liver, and anyone with known or suspected liver disease should be either very careful with these drugs or avoid them altogether. Also, if they are taken in large doses for a long period of time in anyone, the liver enzymes should be monitored (for example, every 3 months). The combination of these antifungals and certain antibiotics and antihistamines should be avoided; check with your physician or nurse if this might apply to you. NYSTATIN is a gut antifungal. Only 1-3% of it is absorbed at all; the other 97-99% remains in the intestines all the way down and is excreted via the bowels. This medication has no known adverse reactions if taken with food. Sometimes, people refer to Nystatin as an antibiotic, when it is really a broad-spectrum antifungal. In part, it is an anti-biotic, since bio means living organism, and fungi certainly are living organisms! ==================================================================== Helen deHavilland wrote: > nystatin is pretty harsh stuff - especially for a child. > probiotics is a must and diet - no sugar etc > Helen > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
