Looks I have to take something to protect me from yeasts. Religious antifungal diet alone doesn't control my yeast overgrowth: white tongue, itchy rear end etc.
Can you suggest what form of Nystatin works best for you? How much should I take?

Hi Areneli,
I take the pills, 6 every day in divided doses. I took them while on abx and off.
You might consider something stronger from time to time like Diflucan, and take lots of acidophilus, also.
Yeast is a bear to eliminate...
Good luck.

I take Nystatin pills....4 a day all at once. I take Diflucan if/when things get bad.

I lean more towards the non-prescribed stuff: grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil, caprylic acid, etc. I've read somewhere that Lugol's iodine solution makes a good mouthwash for clearing the tongue, but I only read it in passing, so do your own research if interested.

Depends.
Nystatin taken orally doesn't get into the blood so isn't used for systemic yeast problems.
Diflucan is absorbed systemically so would be better for that.

I take stuff like caprylic acid that my acupuncturist told me about and it seems to work.
