Could Nystatin possibly cause elevated liver levels?
My ALT & AST levels came back high (39 & 60). ABX Stopped and retested two weeks later. Results even higher (86 & 162).
I had a funny taste in my mouth and slight nausea around the time of the first test. ABX stopped and funny taste seemed to let up a bit; but then come back pretty strong again. I stopped Nystatin to see if it made a difference. It did. Funny taste went away. Started up Nystatin and funny taste started to return, so I stopped Nystatin again.
Tested for Hepatitis, This came back fine. Next test of ALT and AST came back lower, but still abnormally high (57 & 113).
Anyone have any experience with Nystatin causing problems? I started taking something called Ortho DTX last week. It has Milk thistle in it. Increased my deeper greens and B Complex.
This is all very scary. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Nystatin can leave a bad/funny taste in your mouth, but it is very unlikely that it is raising your enzymes as it is not absorbed. I would link it to the abx only. The ortho DTX should help bring them down in time.

I am not saying that this is the case with you ....
one time after years of having lyme (but years before I was treated for it)
my liver enzymes elevated....
the dr. couldnt find any reason for it all the tests came back neg.... ultrasound was good..
looking back i think it was the lyme itself that elevated MY liver enzymes...
Hopefully your enzymes will go back in range soon whatever the reason they are out of wack.

Im sorry to hear this. Alpha Lipoc Acid is very cheap and used for liver failure in germany.
Look it up or buy it.
Ive been seing my LLMD for 3 years now and have never had elevated enzymes even once.
Sometimes I wish I had cause then I would have an excuse other then the LYME that something wasnt right.
By the way, he tests me every single month.
Not once were they off. My sugar has fluctuated though. Thats its.
Apart from the IGINEX test, The NK test Im super healthy (yea right)
