Question For Those Who Used Oral Nystatin

It does not say anything on the prescription information sheet that I got from the pharmacy that I should be on a restricted candida diet. My son took Nystatin several times when he was young and never went on a candida diet and he definitely got better.

Has anyone had luck with this medication without following the candida diet?

I have gotten so hungry that I want to eat everything in sight. I have added starchy vegetables back to my diet just to help fill me up. I so want to grab some chocolate or eat a bunch of fruit but I've controlled myself so far.

I took oral Nystatin for 2 months (3x daily) after I was diagnosed with candida by DNA Microbial (Metametrix Lab) stool test. I did NOT follow a restricted candida diet. However, I did abstain from my diagnosed allergens (gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, cane sugar, vanilla and nutmeg). Nevertheless, I could eat any other kind of sweetner (agave, beet sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc.) without problems. My next 5 stool tests over the next 3 years were free of candida. So I know that oral Nystatin and no 'candida' diet eliminated my candida.

However, I do need to add that initially (about 3 days) I experienced Nystatin side effects (nausea and bloating) until my body adjusted to the Nystatin. I do NOT think those were 'die off' symptoms, because I only experienced that for the first 3 days of Nystatin. Then I felt nothing for the next 2 months while I took Nystatin.

My pharmacist told me all nystatin contains gluten and that there is not a gluten free nystatin.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.
