I have been following the yeast and gluten free diet devoutly. put me on liquid Nystatin 1,000,000 units (about a tablespoon) 4x a day. I was diagnosed with Celiac through a blood test along with candida albicans my level for candida was +3.3 about 3 months ago. You may feel crappy for a couple of months too as the yeast is purged from your system. Once the problem is gone, however, you don't have to be as strict with the sugar intake. It does take time and you may have to follow the diet for awhile.like recovering from Celiac. Caprylic acid is supposed to be very good also but I think for a really bad yeast issue, a Rx anti-fungal works best. It is the big guns as far as combating yeast systemically. It proves the yeast is still good or active. For an example, place some yeast in warm water and add some sugar.this is called "proofing" the yeast. The most important thing to do is not eat any sugar or food that will break down into sugars.refined carbs. I don't know what I would do without all of you to help me problem solve. Thanks to you and to the other well-informed people on the forum. It is wonderful to hear that you recovered and can live on the Celiac diet and feel well. I think I will stick to my naturopath's recommendations until I can get my GP to switch to the Nystatin pills. Driving my naturopath (who wanted me to only use garlic, caprylic acid etc and didn't know enough about Nystatin liquid b/c that's not her field) and my therapist insane. I was crying with frustration and fear that I would never get better. I have been good with the candida/no sugar or starch diet (not even diet coke and fake sugar!) and still felt badly. They can't take pills and would spit out something bad tasting. But your point about infants and thrush makes sense. I figured the manufacturer knew what they were doing. Thank you so much for this information! I had no idea that the ignorance went as deep as you point out it has. ![]() Gluten was a piece of cake to give up compared to this! However, those level out after a few weeks and you get your sanity back. I wish you luck with this because it is hard.mood swings from hell from the sugar withdrawal. The only carb I ate was brown rice.nothing white at all. The Candida diet will make a Celiac feel better because you cannot have any refined carbs at all. ![]() Still had Celiac but I didn't know it at the time. After about 6 weeks on the diet when the die off subsided, I felt better than I have felt in years. I got sick from die off within a month of starting this regimen and got a Rx for Diflucan to take as an added boost and it worked well. If you follow a strict Candida, absolutely no sugar diet, and take the Nystatin in it's natural form, it should clear up the problem well. It still feeds the yeast and that's why some babies have repeat occurrences of thrush but try telling the medical profession that! DUH! You are actually making the yeast growth worse by using this form and that's why you are having reactions. Nystatin by itself is not the greatest thing taste-wise and infants would spit it out. The sugar laden Nystatin is mainly used to give to infants with thrush so they'll swallow it. Yes, hard to believe that anyone would prescribe a sugar laden med to combat Candida but that's how deep the ignorance goes! You need to get the powdered form of Nystatin and either have it put into capsules OR mix it with water and drink it.which is what I did. Here is what I learned in the 2 years I followed the diet.taking liquid Nystatin is a big no-no as it's mainly sugar and sugar feeds yeast. You are also correct in that the Candida diet is much harder to deal with than going gluten free.the gluten-free diet is easy compared to that. Turns out I had both problems but following the Candida diet and taking Nystatin made me feel a whole lot better. I know exactly what you are going thru as I did the Candida diet twice in my lifetime, when I thought my problem was all Candida and knew little to nothing about Celiac. ![]() I am going to have the format of the Nystatin changed to pill form and take the herba anti-fungals my naturopath recommends.ĭoes anyone else have celiac/candida success strategies they can share? ![]() The herxheimer reaction I got every time I took it could have been a reaction to liquid sugar. The pharmacist pointed out that the liquid Nystatin I was taking was 33% sucrose.
