Re: How to start valtrex with diflucan- crazy yeast flare???

August 11, 2012

Thanks Cheryl. Yes I have already started valtrex and now my son is on 250 mg

3xday. Oh my God! He is a big fungus ball now:))This is the yeast that I have

never dealt with before. He is already on diflucan 100 mg daily and on custom

probiotics. I am increasing the probiotic dose but feel like this yeast is

something else. I had tried candex a couple of years ago and don't remember

exactly how much it had helped. He couldn't tolerate candidase. Should I switch

the antifungal or add something stronger? Please share your experience dealing

with this valtrex induced yeast. My son is phenol sensitive so I don't have many

options with the herbs. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi alexis,I'm not cheryl but thought I would chime in. We didn't see good results with diflucan and once we switched to sporanox he did much better for several months. Our latest switch to ketocanazole is going ok so far too. Amp b is supposed to be good too but both of my kids were sensitive to it....anyway, bottom line I would consider a switch myself if it's not working. Hope all gets better soon!
