I’ve had ME for 14 years and my gut issues have gotten worse over the last few years. Some tests indicated that I may have mold/yeast issues going on in my gut. My doctor prescribe me liquid nice Nystatin because I have such a low tolerance to medications.
Initially I started three weeks ago building up slowly and felt OK. After five days I had major Herx reaction of taking 3 teaspoons per day so I cut back to about 1 teaspoon spread over a day And was not even tolerating that.
During the last week and a half I have literally been swapping it with a Q-tip and each time I think I’m doing OK with that amount after a couple days, I wake with severe flu like symptoms. Unfortunately my doctor hasn’t exactly been helpful in terms of advice. I am on the strict Candida diet but honestly don’t know if I should be taking Nystatin at any amount if it’s causing me to be this sick. I thought ME was bad LOL this is impossible. My doctor thinks I need to kill this yeast but I’m confused as to if this is a smart way to go. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated. If I’m not even tolerating one qtip swab a day, what Can I do?
