Candida


Recommended Posts

My dd just finished the last of her Nystatin... Wondering if we should refill because I do believe it helps. Have any of you heard of serious side effects of being on it for a long period? Also regarding the blood work, my dd tested positive for candida in a blood test, which is why she was prescribed the nystatin. Although my understanding is that it's a bit of a controversial test (there's a shocker). Some feel it shows real yeast overgrowth and others say that it is just showing whatever yeast is being cast off naturally from other parts of the body. Real true systemic yeast overgrowth in the blood is supposed to be life threatening.

We were given Diflucan because it is more benign than Nyastatin. It is my understanding that Nyastatin can cause liver damage and the herxing can be worse. Maybe you should look into alterbating until you get the Candida under control? I am going to ask about this tomorrow when I speak to Dr. Bouboulis.
