Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 We are on the same boat with Nystatin but I do see pretty good result with Candex. The best I have seen so far. I have tried Grapfruit Seed extract, Oil of Oregano, Uva Ursi, and advanced Biocidin. This yeast issue for us has been very hard tackle. Candex needs to be given on an an empty stomach but I have given it with Juice (2 for breakfast and 2 before bed) and the result has been better than any other natural agents and least nasty die off symptoms. However we have the consistent problem of getting one day of formed poop and then switching to mushy ones with Ammonia smell. I think we have another major underlying issue there. Candex is an Enzymes that works by digesting the cell wall of yeast and since yeast exist in Colonies, It needs its cell wall to remain intact. While on this you may want to reduce sugar and starch intake for better effectiveness. It is good to give it with probiotics. It is safe and I have given as many as 7 per day (not on an empty stomach) with no negative effects. My son is 32 lb. As far as Caprylic Acid goes, I bought Capryl by Solary(sp?). It is not bitter at all and mixes okay in milk substitutes but it tastes horribly soapy. I can't give that either as my son is supper taste sensitive. Hope this helps, Haleh --- hollows68 wrote: --------------------------------- Just had a DDI CDSA done on my NT 2 1/2 yr old because he has had ongoing diarrhea for such a long time. Pediatrician blew me off with the " toddler diarrhea " line, but I wasn't satisfied. I was glad to see that his beneficial flora was high, but under dysbiotic flora he had klebsiella oxytoca 3+. As far as natural agents go, the only one he was sensitive to was caprylic (resistant to uva, oregano, goldenseal, and others). He will not take a capsule, and I find that the powder from a caprylic capsule just clumps in drinks and sticks to the cup, plus it is so bitter. Any other suggestions? He also had Candida lusitaniae 3+, which we are attempting to treat with nystatin. I say attempt, because the liquid is so bitter tasting and I am having a hard time getting it in him on a regular basis. We have be rotating various probiotics during this time, and I try to get a good multi vitamin in him, but that's about it so far. If anyone has any other advice, I'd love to hear it.
