Re: Re: Diflucan questions

Hi ,

On the valtrex list, they strongly suggest having Diflucan or nizoral in place

prior to starting valtrex since it kicks up so much yeast. Dr. Megson wasn't in

the habit of doing it either but was happy to write the rx when I explained why

others were doing it. I think I am going to call Angie at Wellness and see if

they can have it compounded in capsules that I can pull apart w/out the

sweetener because nothing would really work w/LOD/SCD. Good thought about the

bacteria. I will have to see what others are doing. I may do some OoO

transdermally for that.. Thanks again!! I will let you all know how it goes! I

am ready for a miracle over here!

If you are going to take Difflucan I would ask about taking an

antibiotic also to avoid getting overgrowth of bacteria. If your

doctor will not prescibe something like Flagyl, then I'd for SURE

take a good natural antibacterial supplement along with it. It is

the antibacterial that will zap the good gut bugs so if you do take

one then you do need to allow a couple of hours before giving

probiotic. I always gave it twice a day or even 3X during gut bug

treatment but don't know if this was helpful or not.. it's just what

we did about 2 hours after the meds.

Good luck.. if you have things compounded I'd be careful about the

base and sweetner/additives. Many times xylitol and other things

like Stevia are used and since your children seem to be sensitive to

oxalates it might be a problem. Might not at such low amts but just

wanted to mention it so you could think through it ahead of time.

Good luck and keep us posted. I hope this helps him-I know you have

struggled so much with the gut and you're one of the super moms in

my book!

Best,

Valtrex. Does Diflucan need to be compounded? Are there things in

the regular formula that would bother a sensitive gut or allergy

kid? Anything to look out for? Also, about dose, is it given on an

empty stomach or at meals? How soon after can I give probiotics?

Is it okay to just give probiotics once a day while on it? Sorry

for all the elementary questions but he has never been on it and I

haven't done any anti-fungals since beginning biomed. Thanks in

advance for helping me get started.

Diflucan causes an overgrowth of bacteria? Why does an antifungal cause the need

for antibiotic-even a natural one? My son is on Diflucan and has some bacterial

issues so any info would be appreciated. Thanks so much,

Re: Diflucan questions

Thanks for the lesson! I continue to learn stuff every day

about all of this. Dr. JM did not ever use Valtrex with Slater so I

don't have any experience with that protocol. Best of luck and

please keep us posted!

I've been using Kirkman's yeast-aid for our daughter but she really needs more.

What would be a natural substitute for Diflucan and Flagyl - if any?

Thanks,
