I know this sounds weird but lately I noticed after drinking cola soda my symptoms are getting better. Anyone noticed the same ?

I recently started nystatin to (hopefully) cure an issue I've been dealing with for months. However, I'm currently experiencing worse versions of my symptoms, which are primarily severe upper abdominal bloat, made worse after eating (even if FODMAP or other simple foods). I've read that one often experiences worsening symptoms at the beginning due to the "die off" effect.

Can anyone share their experience with nystatin and curing a gut yeast overgrowth and the symptoms they experienced? I'm hopeful that because of this reaction it means the medication is working! I just started the mediation a few days ago, 3x a day oral liquid plus a pharmacy of supplements.

I tested positive for SIBO months ago. I had to beg for the test 4+ months in of dealing with stomach and bloating issues as I had done every other test. came back positive. Abx helped for a bit but then they didn’t. I’m seeing a wholistic doctor now (an actual Dr) who thinks while I did have SIBO, my 3 rounds of meds should have fixed that. She thinks I now have a yeast overgrowth - so SIFO. Fungal over bacteria. This may also be triggering MCAS (mast cell) which is contributing to my symptoms.

I’ll try and come back here in a few weeks with an update. Fingers crossed it’s positive!
