Nystatin Liquid: Doctor Wants Me to Gargle With It

What you write makes sense. Nystatin really kicks my butt. Will start with gargling very little and add as I go. When I coached at Kennesaw State, our office, with no windows, was under the football...

Doctor Says Stomach Acid Levels Normal But Reflux Symptoms

Fronton - Seems I did a histamine test, which was normal, if I remember correctly. The burp test (multiple) with baking soda produces no burps, so my guess is it's low stomach acid. Doctors approach...

Nystatin Liquid: Doctor Wants Me to Gargle With It

WBF - Haven't been on antibiotics for a while, except for an occasional Bicillin shot to see if I get a reaction. "Oral Nystatin hits yeat/fungus in the gut." That is what throws me. The Nystatin has...

Low ferritin

Doctors can make a person very nervous, especially when Lyme and "strange" symptoms are involved. Then the mind can take over, leading to more nervousness. That, at least in my case, has held true...
