Diflucan, very surprised as I thought it worked in the gut too

[Guest guest]

I take Diflucan infrequently and usually for gut problems. I am very surprised

to read here it only works vaginally?

Why on earth did my EI doctor tell me to take small amounts frequently? I

know of other EI's who are taking it too not for vaginal yeast infecftions.

How does Diflucan work

" Diflucan works by stopping the fungi from reproducing. It also

damages the cell wall of the fungi so that eventually it dies. It is

effective against Candida albicans which is the usual Candida species

responsible for vaginal thrush. It is not effective against Candida

krusei.2

When taken by mouth for vaginal yeast infection the Diflucan will be

absorbed to its maximum concentration by the vaginal tissue within 48

hours and by the vaginal fluid within 72 hours.2 "
