She wants to start treating me for Candida. She believes I have fungus/ yeast in my blood. I am not surprised. Plus, I had the white tongue issue for a long time now.
So, she prescribed Diflucan (200 mg a day).. Any experiences with this drug?
And she told me to only eat vegetables and meats. No grains, no fruits, no dairy (this diet sounds difficult).
I was already gluten free and dairy free... the no fruits is going to be hard.
What is your experience with treating yeast/ fungus.. Did it help with your symptoms?

It should help you a LOT! I hope that 200mg doesn't knock you on your butt. .. That would not be good! Did she happen to give you 100mg tablets to take twice a day?
To minimize the die-off it's best to be very strict with your diet for the first few weeks.

She told me to take the medication for a month (and after that she'll prescribe a different medication) .. isn't that a long time to treat this? I am afraid of the side effects of this med.

The best thing for me was Renew Life Ultimate Flora at least 100 billion CFU per day, which is too expensiv, but it covered a bit of my sins with sugar at times. That and those dessert gums to curb my sweets cravings. Best wishes fightimg the fungus!
