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.

You have come to the right place to get rid of your Candida infection once and for all. Did you know that over 90% of men and women live with some form of Candida infection in their bodies? In most cases it lies dormant until it finds the right condition, and then it flares up and cause all those painful symptoms that you are probably just too well aware of.
You also probably know by now that it is futile to visit your local GP - there is a very good chance that he (or she) doesn't even know what your problem is! And if he/she HAS managed to successfully diagnose you, guess what you were offered as a solution? Yup, anti-biotics, the wonder cure of the modern century.
And as you also probably know by now - this 'wonder cure' does not cure your Candida at all but only eliminates the symptoms for a while and then your yeast infection returns with a vengeance.
The problem is that these types of medicines tend to make the problem worse due to the way that they work - they kill of both harmful as well as 'good' bacteria and causes imbalances in the body.
But even most natural solutions for Candida fall short of offering a complete solution. The reason for this is that they focus on the three most obvious solutions and fail to take the steps through to a complete cure.
