Many thanks for your replies and information, Sam.
yeah nystatin is actually not as effective...BUUUT much safer since it's not absorbed into the blood barrier so..your doctor will probably have no problem letting you try nystatin or nystatin WITH diflucan. I've heard you can take high amounts of that pill with little risk. Good luck with that... my doctor looked at me stupid when I asked about Candida.. I know lots of doctors discount it but i'm glad you have a diagnosis.
It appears to me that you might have "Candida" this is an intestinal yeast problem in the gut and you can not eat any sugar, yeast, wheat or fruit. The drug of choice for this is called "Nyastatin" It is NOT a statin, but, a great yeast fighter, usually complimentary docs recommend it. There is a book called "The Yeast Connection" By Dr. Cooke and it goes into detail regarding diet, supplements and daily living. There is a lot to do for it, but your doc must be knowledgeable in this area.
I will say that certain chemicals in the environment can cause flare-ups, in fact, just about anything can bring them on. It is usually discovered via a blood test or better yet, doing an exam of your BM.
Hope this helps some.
