Hey,
Just thought I would follow up with this thread. I have Candida and was put on Flucnazole for 4 weeks at 100 mg. I didn't notice a single difference from my nausea, pain, and histamine response to a lot of foods until 2 weeks in when I started to supplement with oregano oil (45mg 1-2x/day). Unforunately, once I came off of the Fluconazole simples slowly began reappearing. My histamine issues have gotten so bad that I seemingly respond to any and every food with a flushing in my face, prickly/itchy skin, a head ache and stomach pains. I'm back on Fluconazole for 3 weeks at 200 mg and oil of oregano at 150mg (1-2x/day).
I saw Dr. Gerard Mullin at Johns Hopkins and he said that herbal products seem to work just as well if not better than Fluconazole and Rifaximin (I have SIBO as well). With that said, I was advised to take Biotics' Dysbiocide, FC Cidal and ADP (oil of oregano in a capsule that releases further into the digestive tract so it doesnt get absorbed before it gets to the critters in your intestines). I'm also going to start taking Klaire Labs' Interfase to break up the biofilm these suckers probably made to protect them.
Often times you need to come at these things from multiple angles to really nip them in the bud.
