OK OK OK-- the Fun in candida is saying I Used to have it--
You Can get over it I have--
No Carb diet is Very Important- If you have bad candida your body is going to need help to kill the yeast in addition to diet--
There have been many asking about Nystatin -- here is info from my experance-- I had candida about as bad as it gets--
Nystatin is Very effective-- and is easy for most to tolerate- It is not absorbed into the body- so side effects are minimal-
I had zero bad side effects except a bad herx when first started nystatin--
If you have bad candida you will herx for sure- Lasted about 10 days for me-
Then I got Much Better fast
Nystatin comes in 4 forms-- Powder-pills-liquid-cream--
The powder and pill form are the ones you want--
The Powder form is the most effective by far- 10x more effective than pill form--
Nystatin Powder Has to be stored Cold--For Sure--
Here are 2 makers of powder BRAND NAME(S): Bio-Statin, Nilstat--
go to Medicine.net search Nystatin Powder
There are also generic makers--
Large chain pharmacy can order for you--Revco-Walgreens ect. Take print out of Medicine.net page with you to store or doctor-
The powder form usually has to be ordered--most pharmacy dont sell it very often--- So you have to Make Sure they Know it has to be Refidgerated when you order it--
The powder comes in a brown glass jar about a pint in size-- The powder is yellow brown in color and tastes like chicken--
A small plastic spoon will be taped to the jar-- I think the spoon is 1/8 tsp.
Mix powder in 4 oz cool water swish in mouth and swallow--
Mixture can also be used on skin and Other places-- it dose not burn at all-
I have not done this but I think mixture would also work as nazzle spray for yeast in air way --worth a try-
Nystatin Pills are effective- Do not have to be kept cold but its probially a good idea
Chew up pills or let dissovle in mouth for best effect-- The idea is to kill the yeast from the Top down-- Will turn your tongue a cool yellow-- Spread pills threw day
The pills can also be disolved in water for use on skin ect--
Even if you get the powder form also get some pills for when you are away from home--
Candida can and will spread threw your body if given a chance- I will write about dealing with candida skin infection in another post--Jay--

I'm taking liquid nystatin. Is that effective? I don't think I have real bad yeast-no real symptoms of anything bad.

Hi Angel
If you do not have candida bad- the liquid should be fine--
I have not personaly taken it but from what I have read it is geared more for children --sweet taste -easy to swallow-
Keep dose in mouth and swish around for best effect--Jay--
