That's great it's worked out for you. Unfortunately I have heard about liver damage with systemtic antifungals such as diflucan and on one candida forum I belong to, it is advised against because of long term effects that can occur afterwards.

They stick with natural antifungals and nystatin if people want to take that route, but the main thing was diet. Systemic antifungals maybe required in serious cases of stubborn yeast where the diet and other antifungals are not enough...but it would depend on what diet the person was put on, how long for and what other methods were used.
