Nystatin and Candida

My mom was a neonatal intensive care nurse for many years and they treat babies that have thrush with Nystatin. She has been after me to try this drug for my Candida overgrowth. So I've done some research on the topic and came across this blog with some information that I think is helpful. Check it out: Holistic Help.
At the moment, I don't think I will try it. Sounds like it isn't good for the immune system and can cause some pretty bad die off symptoms. On top of that, the Candida can become resistant to it along with all the other anti-fungal drugs, including herbal products. It sure can get discouraging, seeing how long people have to fight Candida overgrowth. I'm thankful that I'm not feeling sick or experiencing too bad of symptoms. I just have to cozy into my candida diet. I've only been on it for almost 3 months and it feels like its been so much longer than that. It is about time for me to make some more recipes. I've pretty much been living on the same foods for a while. My hope is in God and I have to remember that when I get discouraged. I'm so thankful that I am able to be a stay at home mom to a beautiful boy who brings so much joy into my life! I also enjoy getting to make jewelry! I'm blessed with a wonderful husband who allows me to be creative! Thinking of all the things I'm thankful for sure renews my mind and puts a better perspective on life!
