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.

I started taking L-Carnitine. I have a regiment I take at night (gluclosamine, a candida cleanse and cinnamon tablets-which help for the taste of the candida pill) which I recently added the L-Carnitine (dose: 1000 mg) to that nightly regiment however Im not sure Im seeing the result I expected so Im wondering if there is a better time of day to take L-Carnitine or if there is a natural supplement you shouldn't take at/around the same time your taking the L-Carnitine? Thank you for any help!

I seem to only find info regarding diet. I want to know how to do the FULL cleansing along with the diet. Isn't there something you can do with Apple Cider Vinegar or something?
