You probably don't want to be on a daily dose for more than a couple of months. I want to get off the Ketoconazole (and you shouldn't take the diflucan long-term either) soon. I also take a probiotic before going to bed and drink a Garden of Life Raw fit drink that has tons of raw, organic, non-GMO enzymes and probiotics in it.Īnyway, my point was that I have been taking both antifungals every day since March. My insurance company tried denying coverage of it (…sigh…don't get me started) so I will continue to resubmit it until they cover it.
But I've read that the typical Rx includes other crap you don't need and it's not as effective as the powder, which I buy from a compounding pharmacy for roughly $60, which is a 3-4 month supply. The Nystatin is not a systemic anti-fungal so you can take that indefinitely. LLMD had me start taking milk seed thistle and ND had me also take Burdock root tinctures-and enzymes leveled out within a month. When I started taking the diflucan, I had my liver enzymes checked and they were very very elevated. You should also be taking something to help support the liver. The diflucan is a systemic anti-fungal and very hard on the liver. Some yeast/fungal issues are local (in the stomach, in the mouth, sinuses) and the tough ones are systemic-in your blood stream, organs.
I felt no change so I was switched to Ketoconazole in lieu of the diflucan (yeast can develop resistance) and switched to a powder form of nystatin, which HAS helped (you put the powder in water, and as you swallow it -it coats your mouth, throat, stomach, GI tract, etc…) And Roxie-I'm with you, I don't know why LLMDs, NDs aren't advising patients properly on this!īefore I even started my lyme/bart/babs treatment I started taking 200mg diflucan and 10,000 units nystatin daily… After about 2 mos. The abx are killing ALL the bacteria, antifungals are keeping yeast under control, but you aren't replenishing the good bacteria. You should also be taking at least 100M probiotics with multiple strains.
