I hope my post hasn’t offended you or caused you to lose faith. My experiences may not be the same as yours.

I would however suggest the following:

Find a doc who will give you a running/continuous script for whatever anti fungals they deem appropriate; who will trust you to use when necessary. You know your body better than anyone and you will know when it’s time to take a Fluconazole or swish Nystatin, and/or use Clotrimazole Troches.

Despite what I have read I’ve never found any correlation between what I’m eating and the occurrence of Candida.

In my opinion in folks like us it just gets out of control sometimes and so then we take an antifungal, and it’s eradicated until the next time.

It could be so much worse. Don’t let it get you down. There are (as I’m sure you know) many things that cannot be cured with a “pill”.
