i quit my antibiotics last week cuz i developed a yeast infection that would not go away. i finally got rid of the yeast. if i go back on after a week of stopping will i not be cured from lyme or will anything happen because i stopped for a week? i wanted to give my body time to get rid of the yeast cuz it drove me bonkers. im just worried about having stopped it for a whole week

One week off ABX should not cause any problems. You might want to try Apple Cider Vinegar (1 or 2 tablespoons twice a day) or raw garlic to help control/prevent candida

Other remedies include:

wheatgrass juice
oil of oregano
colloidal silver
pau'd arco

High doses of really good probiotics(found in the refrigerated section) or using kefir daily will also keep candida under control.

I would suggest that you restart your abx slowly, with a lowered dose though. The bacteria has had the opportunity to rebuild their numbers some, so you should expect some herxing.

fnfiacco—

The remedies posted above are all very good. Organic virgin coconut oil (2T per day—either raw, in tea or over warm veggies) and bitters like Advantage are good preventers, as well.

But if you cannot get relief, don't be shy about taking Nystatin, which is not harmful (as other antifungals certainly are) and can be taken long-term to help control yeast overgrowth in the gut. I have been on it since Feb and getting ready to start abx this week—so I'll probably stay on it indefinitely due to my previous severe problem.
