hey, lymetoo, do you remember oh a year ago or so, the post about nystatin and where hoosier said not to take probiotics or florastor with it cause nystatin killed everything??

umm, was that proven false? cause i'm on only nystatin now for yeast and florastor and all.

apparently most of my problems can be attributed to yeast and we have to get that under control first.

cause this doc prescribed nystatin twice a day and said yes take florastor.

but i reread the post and am confused. the doc said it's ok, so i'm assuming it is, right??

Chiming in here, even though I have no where the amount of experience with all of this that you and lymetoo have. I might be missing something obvious, but, I would assume you would take the probiotics/florastor 2 hours away from the Nystatin and be okay.

No way! It kills yeast, not probiotics.

I'm confused... are you wanting to take Florastor too??

Nystatin only works in the gut. It will not go systemic, so if you have yeast in other places, it won't help.

Depends upon where you have yeast. If it's systemic, you need Diflucan.

But Nystatin is a good start.
