You may want to join this group, headed by Dr. McCandless, who deals

with autism and LDN and consequently has to deal with yeast and

candida all the time, and ask her there.

People always ask her about stuff like this.

Yana,

I've been on Hydrocortisone for months due to adrenal insufficiency.

I'm weaning off very slowly.

I have a very long term yeast infection and tried Nystatin for

months---that didn't work and caused other problems.

I really started to improve and see more die-off once we went to add

Diflucan.

While the Hydrocortisone is an immune supressant, it won't stop the

Diflucan from working. So as we are weaning off of it, the Diflucan will

just get more effective. And the positive effects of SCD too, IMHO.

Did your MD tell you need to have a liver panel blood test every month

to make sure the Diflucan isn't effecting your liver ?
