Itraconazole capsules 100mg - you can only get a long term course of these through your doctor. I had taken a different dosage of a different named one, that did not work. My fungal problem was very severe - not in the mouth. You can buy a 1 single dose of Itraconazole from the pharmacy, but this does not help with fungal problems in the mouth. You need the Daktarin gel (specifically for use in the mouth) or the Nystatin drops.
For the mouth fungus I find that the Daktarin gel that you can buy from your pharmacy without a prescription worked very well. The Nystatin drops are only on prescription, and sometimes more than one course is required.
You can get fungal/yeast infections from sexual contact, from other contacts (eg you can get fungal infections in the feet in between the toes from swimming pool areas), when your diet is poor with lots of sugar products, people who have increased sugar levels in their body from glucose intolerance or diabetes, people who are immune compromised and also using antibiotics can also encourage yeast overgrowth.
It is important to have a healthy and well balanced diet and cut out or cut down on processed foods, fizzy drinks and sugary foods and confectionary.
This can help, depending on the cause of the yeast overgrowth.
It is best not to treat yourself, apart from the oral gel.
Make an appointment with your doctor and get the right medication with the right dosages for you. Taking too many antifungal mediations can cause damage to kidney and liver function and your doctor may take a blood test to check your kidney and liver function first and then again after the course of antifungal capsules is finished if he does feel that you need a long term course of these.
Most importantly you need to get rid of those parasites and the H.Pylori.
Thank you so much again, can i ask you what kind of antifungal did you take for six months. I'm really glad that i found you good people to help me. Yes i was concerned for hiv because everywhere when i read they say u have to beimmunocomprumised to have oral thrush, mine is really bad bc i left untried for so long now. I have to take things one by one i hope to be good. Thank you again
You need to get back to your doctor or see another at the practise. You do say that you have the fungus, parasites and the H.Pylori, and don't say that you were prescribed with any medications to treat this. So I presume that you have not received any treatment.
You need the appropriate medications as I mentioned in my first post. Antifungal medications sometimes need to be taken for many months depending on how bad your fungal infection is. Your pharmacist will be able to assist you with regard to the fungal problem in your mouth by way of the oral gel and the single dose of the Fluconazole 100mg. If you know what parasites you have, he can assist you with which anti-parasitic medication to take for that.
You would still be able to consume the coconut oil for the reasons mentioned by TheLightSeeker, and also eating natural yogurt will also help with regard to fungal matters. As a home remedy, the natural yogurt (I use the set one or the Greek style one, which is thicker) can be applied to your washed and dried genitals as well, if you have a fungal problem there. Eating the natural yogurt will help with the mouth fungus.
I have eaten the coconut oil (as suggested by TheLightSeeker) and is does make the inside of the mouth feel good. I was on antifungal medication by mouth for about 6 months last year. Problem with that is that it can mess up your kidney and liver function.
My doctor prescribes me with antifungal medications to take for 15 days when I use an antibiotic for an infection.
Only your doctor can prescribe the medications to treat the H.Pylori.
Make an appointment and see a doctor and be firm and ask to get the appropriate treatment.
Glad that you had your thyroid checked, and no doubt TheLightSeeker will answer your question with regard to your results.
Let us know how you get on.
Best wishes.
Thnx so so much, i have my thyroid checked these are my results: ft4 (21.52) ft3(6.33) tsh (1.11). What do you think, do u have any options, please?
Hi Niko, I'm Niko too originally from Crete.
An anti-parasite protcol is very similar to an anti-Candida protocol
and it seems you have both parasitic and Candida infections which are consistent with your symptoms.
The advice given to you is very good so far, however, I'd like to emphasize
that Coconut Oil consumption - work up to 5T daily in your cooking or as a supplement or added over your food, but starting only with 1-2T daily at first to avoid die-off effects - will serve you greatly for addressing both of these issues, since it is anti-fungal (Candida) and anti-parasitic. It is also anti-viral and anti-inflammatory and it will give you much needed extra energy, because it does not store as fat-it gets metabolized fast by the liver and used for energy right away.
Avoid sugars and carbohydrates for the next few months, as they feed fungal and parasitic organisms, so by doing so you are starving them.
It might be difficult at first-I know that typical Balcan diets are carbohydrate rich- but once you stick with it and start feeling better, it becomes easier.
Oh, one more point. If you feel feverish and yet your basal temperature is normal, there might be a chance that you may also have low thyroid function, which would keep your temeprature down.
Low thyroid sufferers, in the absence of infection, have usually temperatures below 36.4 C on the average.
Free T3, Free T4 and Reverse T3 tests are needed to determine this accurately. The standard serum tests for thyroid TSH, T3 and T4 are flawed, as they only indicate serum thyroid levels and not thyroid function.
Best of success.
Niko
