A member asked:
On digestion: please discuss how nystatin, amphotericin-b, sporanox etc may be used for gi issues; underlying theories; and related debate/controversy
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little or no role: There has been a theory of yeast infection going around for at least 4 decades but there has not been scientific proof that this is the reason for chronic GI problem or any defined illness. Thus it is more of a belief system than a treatment strategy.
