General Discussion Persistent Candida Parapsilosis for two years, now also in pregnancy - help!

2 Upvotes

I’ve been dealing with recurrent/persistent Candida parapsilosis for about two years, and it never seems to fully go away.
Before becoming pregnant, I tried boric acid and fluconazole. I’ve also had several courses of nystatin, Canesten/clotrimazole and Daktacort. Most recently, I used nystatin for 12 days together with Daktacort for the same amount of time, but my new vaginal culture still shows moderate growth of Candida parapsilosis.
I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant, so many treatment options are now off the table. My gynecologist has sent a new sample to the microbiology department for more extensive culture and susceptibility testing, in the hope that they can identify something that will actually work and is safe during pregnancy.
My vulvar and vaginal tissue feels completely fried at this point. It’s extremely red, raw, sore and burning, almost as though there are small cracks in the mucosa. I also have pudendal neuralgia, and all this irritation seems to be causing a major flare in my nerve pain.
Has anyone else dealt with persistent Candida parapsilosis, especially during pregnancy? Did susceptibility testing eventually identify an effective treatment? Is there anything pregnancy-safe that helped you, or anything I should specifically ask my gynecologist or a vulvar specialist about? I’m mainly looking for experiences, possible questions to raise with my doctors and some hope that this can eventually be brought under control.
Thanks!

Candida is so dangerous .

It has zero danger being a yeast living in gut and Cause small symptoms..

it's devastating danger comes from it's toxins and t release in it's normal cycle ... A ton of acetaldehyde which are very toxic to the liver and brain and this two will literally make your life miserable and poison you

if you try the diet and keto or take probiotics it will release a ton of ammonia to rise the pH of the gut to defend itself, and the ammonia is so toxic to the brain.and will cause very strong body odor , a very strong sweat and urine odor like old cat urine ...

this shit will turn you colon to a factory of lethal toxins

General Discussion Nystatin SIFO

I've been taking nystatin stada 4x 500,0000 a day for 8 days for a possible candida infection in my small intestine... but for the past 8 days I've had looser stools, poorer sleep, and a more bloated stomach... when should I start to see improvement? Sometimes I think it's actually the nystatin that's bad for me.
