: Have done diflucan on an off for a year with good results and am thinking of trying Nystatin? My son does get fresh
: fruit a few times a week and my doctor says no sugar while on nystatin. Does anyone else give there child a little
: sugar while on nystatin?

Your doctor has said NO SUGAR and means it! (sorry to be blunt) sugar increases candida -
albicans/ and would therefore probably increase your sons reactions to the yeast die off effects
with nystatin. You've got to be cruel to be kind here and your son will be much
better off without sugar.
