Help us improve our website Can you answer a quick question about your visit today? I just started Nilstat IU 1 tablet 4 times a day. This is the second time I have done it. Years ago I did it too. Its really no big deal. I can see what this says about die off symptoms etc so yeah you would want to make sure you dont get too sick but it cannot harm you to to try it to help you get rid of your candida especially if nothing has worked for you.
Basically if you have had to take antibiotics especially a strong lot or many it going to take time to build up your immune system again. You need to feed your body good nutritious food, perhaps take vitamin c, include garlic in your diet and get exercise.
It all works together. And avoid sugar. Sugar feeds candida! And sugar is in almost all processed food. My best advice from past experience. I was told to take 5ml 4times a day. By the second day and third time I was gagging and gasping for air.
I never threw up, but it was awful for a while. I looked on here and the last two days I only took 1ml each day because I do not want to throw up. Yesterday I was exhausted. My tongue does look clearer. Are these side effects just all die off? Any thoughts? This page is so refreshing I am a 50 year old female diagnosed with black mold the only thing that works is nyastatin oddly I had an undiagnosed yeast infection I had been to the Dr several times they wanted to do a biopsy on a roll blown outbreak of yeast they called it lichens or possible cancer I was treated with the wrong dosing of fluconizole it was persisting the Dr demanded a biopsy seriously!
Good question. I have been suffering from thrush for almost a year. My dermatologist finally prescribed nystatin for me. I will increase the dosage gradually. I had the fungus on my skin and in my mouth.
Side effects for me are headache, rapid heart rate and joint pain. I want this stuff gone. How long should one take Nystatin? I have done like two bottles of it in maybe 3 weeks. I am convinced now that my many issues over a few recent years were from candida. I was totally freaked out about the C-Diff.
I kept getting it back had it three times before finally getting rid of it. I read that taking Florastor — Saccharomyces boulardii, would get my system back to normal again. The Florastor helped but I think I took it for too long — about a year. I have gone through years of esophagus problems, nasal issues, chronic coughing, vaginal tissue breakdowns and UTIs. Also I kept getting ulcers on my gums — I have dentures and if I got any kind of a little sore spot in my mouth it would ulcerate and take weeks to heal.
Before I got on to the Nystatin, I was using athletes foot cream for some of these issues which my doc thought was nuts, but it worked — it was the only think that helped. So I am convinced I was right and have convinced my doctor enough that she gave me a prescription of Nystatin with 11 refills on it! But again, my question, how long do I stay on it? I took 3 doses of the liquid for like the first bottle and a half and then twice a day. Do I continue taking it as a preventative?
Like one dose a day? And again, for how long? Is it safe for me to do that? When do I stop taking it? Please help! Thank you for any advice. Is the 1 unit per dose suggestion a typo? I diluted a small amount of my oral suspension down to where I can actually administer 1 unit per dose, and thought it must be a typo when I saw how small of a dose it was.
I am feeling quite ill and having significant die off symptoms. I am in contact with my functional doctor, who is very open and interested in this method, seeing how I could not tolerate the typical dosing.
Any thoughts on how long this slow type treatment may last? Hopefully, a lower dose will be effective. Hi there i have thrush in my mouth ans iam on nytstain on day 4 takibg 5ml.
