Can you crush nystatin tablets and swish them around to get in your mouth and down you throat?Is there any technique to this?Do i mix them with water?Is it real bitter?I dont have thrush but I have noticed when I eat carbs my saliva get thick and stringy and i get real congested and have to spit up constantly.If I stay off carbs my throat and saliva stay much more clear.Sounds like yeast to me but never had any thrush.Ive also noticed my skin burns and gets scaley when i eat carbs.A few days with out carbs though and I am running on empty.Stuck between a rock and a hardplace.Thank you ,Joe.

Hi Joe,
I have crushed Nystatin tabs and put them in water to dissolve, it tasted horrible! I added Stevia to it to sweeten it up, it didn't help much. It did help the oral the yeast somewhat, but not as well as acidophilus in your mouth. ------ Open a capsule and hold it in your mouth until it dissolves completely. I prefer Acidophilus to Nystatin it just tastes better
Also try Grapefruit Seed Extract (pill form) and don't chew it, swallow it. You wouldn't want to chew this one ewwwww
Take care, Lisi

Hey Joe,
Yeah, I have done same thing as Lisi. I was desperate so I chewed it up, but it tasted very bitter.
I know there is Nystatin powder you can get from the doctor, but I have never tried it. I have taken Grape Fruit Seed Extract and Diflucan they both worked good for me.
I hate the yeast stuff, hope you feel better. Posted by Lioness (Member # 10655) on :
I get my Nystatin from a Pharmacy that compress it.
It is powder in caplets. It gets delivered in the mail. (I could pick it up but it is not close to me)
Then, I have to keep them refrigerated.
I never taste a thing!
I take Sacro-B too.

It says specifically in the "patient info" NOT to crush them!!!
