Scared of taking vitamin b complex

SO basically as part of candida eradication my nutritionist devised the following:

Tanalbit
Vitamin B complex
Mineral drops
Samento (I'm having the whole cats claw instead)
Magnesium

The reason for the magnesium is that I am magnesium deficient according to a nutrition test. And also B9 deficient. I can't see why I need the complex though and I'm worried about high dosing of B6 which is not a friendly vitamin when taken in high doses (neuropathy is a symptom that sometimes does not go back to normal - many reports online).

I'm tired of jumping around trying to find what works best.

Starting to feel overwhelmed by all this. Going away on Friday for 8 days travelling is actually giving me a fair bit of anxiety and it should be exciting.

So you are not concerned in any way about a possible toxicity from taking b complex?

She wants me to take two of these pills twice a day.

The magnesium I'm taking has both citrate and malate in it.

I've bought them now..

Is this the correct garden of life vitamin b complex ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Vitamins-Minerals-Supplements/Garden-Life-Vitamin-B-Complex-Capsules/B00280M12A/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1490194308&sr=8-2&keywords=garden+of+life

I'll just tell my nutritionist I don't want the synthetic vitamin b. I'm sure she'll understand.

Anyone want to buy some synthetic vitamin b? lol

It's supposed to turn your piss green as well and it has done this.

It improved my lifts today in the gym and I didn't get any kind of sensory issues where I usually have to drop heavier weight.

I don't really want to be taking this twice a day for 2 months when it's just B9 I'm deficient in.

How long did it take you to eliminate your candida?

I don't have candida actually - a different (not well known) strain of yeast. : |
I knocked it back last year after some months of effort, but I haven't been able to get rid of the overgrowth completely yet. I'm battling it again with a multi-phase plan, but this current phase doesn't seem to be as helpful as last year. We shall see...

I've been told I have Euryarchaeota phylum in my gut when I shouldn't do according to the lab.

I'm not sure if this is part of the thrush issues I get or no relation.

I've had yeast for most of my adult life so for all I know I've got one like yours. Dermatitis everywhere and gut issues galore.

Has anyone taken fluconazole 150mg for candida? I have been given 2 of these pills to take. One for each week.

I could ask my GP to have a gene mutation test.

Ahh sorry I got something wrong here.

The strain of bacteria in my gut that my nutritionist has a problem with is called citrobacter freundii and she says it is responsible for the change in stool, abdominal discomfort, GI problems in general as it releases a gas that prevents mitochondrial (energy cells) from working optimally which can cause fatigue.

The bacteria is highly inhibited by plant tannins (which explains why she wants me to take tanalbit) and later on uva-ursi.

So I'm going to do this and see what happens.

I actually remember getting ill with this when I was around 13-14 and my gut has been a mess ever since. Turns out the ****ing thing is still living inside me. Oh the joy of my life.

I am personally of the opinion to always use the methylated version of the B vitamins when possible.

As for the fluconazole question, yes - I tried that. One pill once a day for 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it did nothing for me. I strongly suspect that medication is not helpful for my atypical strain.
You seem to have a "light" prescription if you have a chronic yeast issue (just one pill once a week for 2 weeks - 2 pills total?).

Yea 2 pills in total. The dermatologist basically wanted me out the door. He wouldn't have given me it had I not said the word ''thrush''

Don't know what to do about the b vitamins. Everyone says something different. Might just take these once a week for the foreseable

Ya I did it. Just got the results and haven't spent a ton of time looking at them. I have a slight MTHFR mutation. I haven't figured out what to do about it yet.

NO that one is still derived synthetically, I use to take that one but it causes problems; this is the one, expensive though.

Avoid B6 like the plague. There are many people in neuropathy FB groups that think that it caused their neuropathy. This can be found in the medical literature.

/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3630649

Here is one study but unfortunately I don't have access to the full text. I've read an article that states 200 mg per day is enough to cause neuropathy.

People in the FB groups have claimed neuropathy from even a reasonable supplemental amount....so who knows. I don't see a real need to supplement B6 unless you have a proven deficiency given that neuropathy is a very serious consequence.

Here is another good article. Scroll down to the Safety section
