Re: still/worse bloating on Nystatin - relieved!

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

It has cleared up. YOu're right, the dose was way too high and it was

terrible die off.

The cold is clearing quickly on all the vit. c and coconut oil.

I've had 3 nician does now, and oh wow! The sunburn lines from

previous years is simply amazing! Also interesting from the diet

itself, I've had cramps creeping back into my previously damaged

repetitive strain wrists! Its funny how something like that can be

seen as exciting! When it had been so stressful years ago.

Regarding 'mutating yeast' I seem to understand from somewhere that

candida has different strains? can become resistant?

And another question about my 2 year old daughter, she occasionally

has orange oily poops when she's been constipated a few days; the oil

floats on the toilet water. Do you know what this means? and if there

is some thing additional I could do? She's on the diet, of course,

nystatin, and I soak her every few days for as long as she'll tolerate

in epsom salts and apple cider vinegar.

Thanks for all your wonderful help,

==>I believe there are about 21 different strains of candida. It may

mutate because of drugs since they are poisonous, and therefor the

body has to come up with something stronger to clean up drug toxins

rather than just candida. But with natural substances candida

doesn't mutate unless the person also intakes toxic drugs or a lot of

other toxins. The natural antifungals themselves do not cause

mutation.

==>There is no one " normal " color of stool, as color can be affected

by both by food and by the digestive process. As food moves through

the digestive tract, it turns from green to yellow-orange to brown.

Bile and bacteria is what gives stool its final brown color.

There are several common and benign reasons for passing orange

stools. Supplements and medications that can cause orange-colored

stools include those containing beta-carotene (sometimes found in

vitamin A, which is not a " true " vitamin A) and aluminum hydroxide

(which can be found in antacids).

Beta-carotene cannot be processed properly by some people: it is

found in many foods, particularly in carrots.

If she has had medications in the past her body could also be

cleaning them out.
