Increased Appetite with Nizarol?

[mdmom]

My doc switched our antifungal from Diflucan to Nizarol (Ketoconazole). I had a huge increase in appetite, which I found very annoying. Eating mindlessly when not hungry. Anyone else experience this? I stopped taking it until I can talk to my doc.

[SSS]

I'll just throw this out:

Our old DAN! Dr., who was excellent with yeast and his prescriptions for it ;-)

Once explained it to me like this;

(Held up his hand) and said, let's say there are about 5 different strains of systemic yeast going on in the body.

Diflucan, may get the first 2.

Then you go to Ketoconazole, and that may get the other 2.

(Same for Itraconazole.)

 

So maybe what you are seeing, is this new prescription for Keto. going after yeast that hasn't been addressed before-

the wanting to eat, anything, going for carbs, just wants to eat, is my sign in my daughter that her yeast is high (again.)

Food for thought :-)

 

P.S.

I also wanted to add Keto. is known for going after parasites, too - I know this bit first hand, and have heard other experience it, too.
