Candida blood test came back positive

[landamom]

Hi all, we had an appointment with Dr. J last week and he did some blood work... Apparently one of the tests was the Quest candida blood test. They called this morning to tell us it was positive. I honestly didn't know you can do a blood test for systemic yeast. He has prescribed Nystatin for a month for it. Have any of you gone this route? I'm wondering if this is effective enough for a child. I had Yeast overgrowth myself and managed it with some herbals and diet change, but I can't eliminate anything else from her diet right now - she is already not gaining weight. Will the Nystatin be helpful?? I know that yeast can be just as troublesome as PANS. Thank you!

DS had Candida Glabrada and was treated with Nystatin and then after 3 weeks Ketaconizal (spelling?) was added. That's when we saw huge improvements .... Until the darn Coxsackie Virus hit him! Best of luck!
