Please do not recommend colon cleanses or herbal remedies, they don’t work for me, I have tried them ALL. I have tried all the special diets too.I have had this problem for 17 years and it is in the colon / upper intestine.I have had 2 colonoscopies in the last 3 years.They saw nothing weird, but you cannot detect candida that way, or so I have heard. I do not have vaginal yeast infections ironically, probably because my urine is super acidic, but I see symptoms all throughout my body in the last year that the yeast has infiltrated my system. I have read The Yeast Syndrome by Towbridge and done extensive research, but I think the best answers come from others who have used medicines themselves.I have used the highest level probiotics that helped, but did not resolve it. I know of Nystatin and Fluconazole, but have yet to try. Need a recommend.Oh and my doctor(s) do not believe in this particular strain of candida and do not want to prescribe anything due to the cost of it. Nice huh?
Thanks for the answers so far, but I am NOT guessing anything. I was diagnosed 8 years ago as having this and lost my health insurance right after that, so I had no continuing treatment. My current doctors don’t want to deal with it due to cost and their beliefs and changing doctor’s is not easy as I am not on insurance even now. Also taking any type of active probiotic is a waste of time until the Candida is killed off. My original doctor way back told me that and all the medical websites confirm it. You are wasting your money buying or taking anything to balance the intestines until the die off happens from the drug treatments. The Candida will just kill off the healthy bacteria as it is so much stronger. It appears that Diflucan is the one to use at this time. And the book The Yeast Syndrome was written by an expert in the field. I have had this for 17 years and have researched it extensively, I wanted a drug answer as specified in the original question, nothing else.

My sister’s daughter in Africa, has been suffering from candida for sometime now and it is very aweful when it come. it comes and go sometimes. She does not feed her with anytime that has got very high sugary content but all has proved futile. We do not know if was infected.

Her doctor has been giving her medicine when it comes but cannot cure her permanently.

Please help save the live of this little girl before the worst happens. She is the only daughter of my sister. Thanks

I am a vegetarian, and I am supposed to have meat for the Candida diet. I’m obviously not going to eat meat. I am not supposed to have any sugar at ALL, in order to kill the yeast overgrowth. What can I replace the meat with for protein? I am eating a lot of beans and brown rice. I don’t know if beans or brown rice will turn into sugar. Any help would be great, especially if you know about intestinal yeast overgrowth (Candida) diet.
Are bean carbs, and do they turn into sugar in the body?
