Nystatin and Atkins

[Felix]

Hi,

My doctor has put me on a course of Nystatin and specific anti-biotics for a stomach bug. The yeast and the bug are the result or cause of a long-standing health problem (CFS).

I tried the natural route with yeast-fighting supplements, probiotics and low-carb eating but it wasn't shifting.

I'm wondering what the effect these will have on my weight-loss and the candida that seem to have taken over my body like an alien! I can't work out whether the nystatin will zap it or the anti-biotics will let the yeast take over. Mmm.

Has anyone any personal experience of these drugs?

Thanks,

Felix

Here is a sticky note, you might have missed.
I have taken nystatin for yeast overgrowth.

I can report that all of this worked for me. It does take quite a bit of time for all of this to work. So don't give up, just keep at it.

Thanks Becky Sue,

Wow. What an inspiration you are.

The doctor has only put me on a week's courses of the anti-bios and nystatin so I'm wondering if this will be enough?

I'm interested in trying the KISS WOE and I only have to really cut out the hard cheese (which I am craving like crazy so it could be a trigger).

I will look into it on the board and find out what I have to do.

Thanks again,
Felix
