I was wondering if anyone has tried Diflucan for yeast build up and for how many days. My Dr. wants me to take it for 28 days to clear my system. I currently do not have a vaginal yeast infection, but I have been taken ABX on and off for 11 years. When I am on ABX I always take acidipholous?
But I have been having alot of pain in my stomach lately. Should I do this to clear my system?

definitely!! i can't convince my doctor to give me difulcan even tho i've been on antibiotics for almost 2 years!!
i'm doing candex over the counter and hoping it will help.
that dang doctor says "oh, yeast is only in the mouth, it won't go in the digestive tract." what an idiot!!!
do it. it will relieve a lot of your symptoms too.

"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

I agree that you should take it. I took it for 2 weeks without any problems. I would suggest that you take some liver support such as Milk Thistle and/or NAC w/it.

I take it at lease five days per week - my Lyme Dr. feels it treats Lyme, too. My yeast levels and liver enzymes have been great (dr. checks them a lot).
I do also use Liv52 - a liver detx product because the Diflucan can be tough on the liver.
