Help! Calling all parents with Candida experience!

[Mamaknowsbest]

Hi all! I need your help! We’re at a cross roads in our treatment. My daughter has been on a regimen of Biocidin, Lauricidin, probiotics and Nystatin for about 8 weeks. Her tics seem less 🤞🏼 however she’s been pretty itchy for over a month. It seems to come and go which is the odd part. Some days she barely itchy (but still a little) and other days she’s very itchy and I see a few *tiny* red patches on her arms. I have her on an antihistamine, which I commonly had her on prior to all this to help with some mild itching and occasional stuffy nose. Never was quite she what caused her “allergies” - perhaps the candida. 
 

Also, last week her face was SO dry! Like shedding almost. And redness on the skin around her eyes. I was about to pull the plug on Nystatin and then she woke up and the skin on her face looked perfect and felt smooth. Like a lizard that shed its skin. 

Now 3 days later her back is itchy again! And I’m back to wondering if I should pull the plug on Nystatin.

Also, to note is she has had a rash near her private area that started PRIOR to treatment but it isn’t going away. Fungal cream has helped but it still flares and isn’t gone yet. This makes me wonder if we haven’t gotten the candida fully under control yet. 
 

What do you all think? Did any of you deal with skin issues like this?! I keep wondering if it’s die off but it just won’t quit but I’m having a hard time finding anecdotes that resonate with us.
 

We could stop Nystatin but continue the other treatment items or switch to flucanazole, or push through a bit longer! Praying someone can relate!

Thank you for your thoughts!

Hi

so sorry your daughter is going through this.

It does sound a lot like intense herxheimer or die off reaction?

All I can add is that we were advised not to use Nystatin or any prescription type anti-funguls or probiotics. My son was treated with a Candida cleansing diet, and a NOW product that then was called Candida Clear (now Candida Support)- and he also used Lauricidin as MonoLaurin capsules- then  followed by natural probiotic treatment with plain kefir. It worked very well for him.
