I was curious to see if anyone had an intestinal yeast overgrowth or infection? If so, how did you treat it, I know about probiotics and antifungals, but do they REALLY work? and how long did it take to get rid of?
Thanks

Yes, I know of several women (one of them a friend of mine) that had a problem with yeast overgrowth in her intestines. The dr gave her Nystatin to clear up the problem. They found the intestinal yeast thru doing a culture of her stool.
As far as I know she no longer has problems with intestinal yeast issues since doing the Nystatin. And that's been several months ago that this happened.

Yes, as the other person mentioned, you must reestablish your intestinal flora. See, when your flora dies off and the yeasts take over that's where the problem starts. Usually this happens from taking certain medications like antibiotics or just a really bad diet in general. Look into a diet the will help with your flora. Eat yogurts (soy yogurt is fine too) and other such foods that have benifitial bacteria. Also, you can get intestinal flora supplements at health food stores which will help add some back into your diet. And improve your overall diet and lifestyle. Cut out sugar totally... sugar feeds the yeasts. Do some reading on it. Try to eat LIVE foods. That is, uncooked or very lightly cooked. Cooking food kills the enzymes present in fruits veggies, etc. Mango, papaya, and other fruits are also very good in this regard. Some people that have a really severe problem with this are also doing fecal transplants. That's where someone (usually a healthy family member) donates some fecal matter to be flushed into the ill person's large intestine. Sounds totally sick and gross and few doctors do this, but patients have been totally cured by this. BUT, I'll be they do not alter their diet or lifestyle in an attempt to cure it. Anyway, that should get you started in the right direction.
