Question : I have a fresh case of episodic esophageal candida. Several years ago I had these same symptoms... they have recently returned.
A cream colored film on my tongue, tingle on my tongue and tingling in my upper chest. Craving for sweets, and discomfort if i eat yeast based foods or dry fruit.
My previous doctor prescribed Nystatin which did nothing to improve my condition. 4 weeks of Diflucan (100mg ) eliminated the symptoms.. Until now.
My bloodwork as of last month was good. No sign of diabetes or other related thrush causes.
Can you write a script for Diflucan?
