Avoid yeast flare-ups when taking antibiotics

[Guest guest]

>imperative to take mega doses of probiotics after any round of any type of

antibiotic.  Maybe not a bad idea to be taking it while taking the antibiotic.<

Hi Gerry,

I couldn't agree more! But there is another med which works very well alongside

probiotics. 

Any time a doctor wants me to take ANY sort of abx, I insist on his also

prescribing Mycostatin (Nystatin) tablets, thereby avoiding yeast flare-ups.

It's amazing how few doctors have even *heard* of this medication. BTW, do not

allow him to prescribe a topical cream or even the powder form because it are

mixed with something like baby powder and cannot be taken ingested. You need the

oral form.

Ketoconzole and Diflucan may be more powerful, but I have experienced side

effects or a yeast *rebound* after taking them. Nystatin is effective, but has

few side effects and no yeast rebound.

I ask for 500,000 unit tablets to be taken three times a day and continued for a

week after the antibiotic is finished. Since I started to demand Mycostatin with

abx, I have not had one single yeast flare-up. 

Also, because Mycostatin is generic, it is very inexpensive.
