Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Hi Kandy I'm not sure of the correlation between anti-yeast drugs and seizures however my son suffers from yeast overgrowth. We do not treat with drugs rather use natural antifungals like kyolic garlic, caprylic acid and grapefriut seed extract followed with acidophilus. When we treat with acidophilus we always see an increase in seizures followed by a relatively good period. I believe the antifungals and acidophilus cause yeast die off which produces toxins- this causes the increased seizures. This may be what you are experiencing. If you have a yeast overgrowth problem, treating with creams is just like putting on a bandaid- not really getting to the root of the problem. You need some systemic stuff- but this will also cause more seizures however the way I see it is sometimes things have to be worse before they get better- you have to kill the yeast so you need the die off hense seizures but it should be short lived. faye Kandylh3@... wrote: Hi all, me again!

I can't find any info. on the correlation, if there is any at all, between yeast meds. and seizures.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 also has yeast overgrowth. We're treating it homeopathically which doesn't seem to have the same " yeast-die-off/increased seizures " side effect. However, I think it is much slower acting. Personal opintion. . .and everyone has their own feelings on this. . . kids who are prone to seizures need to stay as drug-free as possible and use as natural remedies as possible, organic foods, non-toxic cleaners, proper supplementation. . . their bodies have gone toxic and it only makes the problem worse to introduce more toxic substances into the body. Okay. . .down off my soapbox!--D --- kevin cooper wrote: > Hi Kandy > I'm not sure of the correlation between anti-yeast > drugs and seizures > however my son suffers from yeast overgrowth.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Oops. . .one more reply. Treating this with meds is only masking the problem. The underlying yeast problem is still there and that may be contributing to the seizures. Yeast is something that really needs to be cured naturally and then you need to use preventative measures to keep it at bay. Get a copy of the book, Prescription for Nutritional Healing by Balch and Balch for more info on Yeast and on seizures. There's also a similar book, " Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child " -- can't remember the author, though. Good luck!--D --- Kandylh3@... wrote: > Hi all, me again! > Can anyone here tell me, do you know if 's > Nystatin cream for her yeast > rash could be causing her recent increased seizures? > she is having tons of > small head bobs now, everyday. > Her yeast rash is not clearing up, despite almost 3 > months of Nystatin, and I > am thinking of switching to Flagyl, recommended for > yeast overgrowth. > I can't find any info. on the correlation, if there > is any at all, between > yeast meds. and seizures. > Thank you for your help, > Kandy > 11 > idaho > ===== DeEtte -- Mom to (, 6, keto-kid since 1/01, med-free, seizures greatly reduced) and (, 4), sdale, AZ " I know God would never give me more than I can handle. . .I just wish he didn't trust me so much.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Like I said before, I would suspect the yeast itself, rather than the Nystatin, but you never know how a kid is going to react to any medication. I still say you arent' going to lick that yeast infection if you don't give her oral pro-biotics or acidophilus to re-balance her system. OK, I'll shut up now..... Patti Can Nystatin and other antifungals cause more seizures?` Hi all, me again! Can anyone here tell me, do you know if 's Nystatin cream for her yeast rash could be causing her recent increased seizures? she is having tons of small head bobs now, everyday. Her yeast rash is not clearing up, despite almost 3 months of Nystatin, and I am thinking of switching to Flagyl, recommended for yeast overgrowth. I can't find any info. on the correlation, if there is any at all, between yeast meds. and seizures.
