VERY persistent intestinal candida and thrush

Hello everyone!
As the title of this post implies, I have some very persistent oral and intestinal candida. I have tried a lot of things to try to get rid of it, but I haven't been able to get rid of it. Here's what I'm currently taking:

• Nystatin oral powder 1million units 4x/day
  
• caprylic acid
  
• coconut oil pulling
  
• cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cumin
  
• plant-based digestive enzymes
  
• vitamin C
  
• sugar-free, yeast-free, fruit-free diet
  

I used to take garlic, oil of oregano, and Pau d'arco tea, but they caused problems for me because my liver is already so toxic, and they worsened that.
I need to find a way to get rid of the candida without having to resort to liver-toxic drugs... any suggestions?
Thank you so much!

Wow that is such a Candida nuclear bomb! All of these are quite deadly to fungus. Are you sure you have extensive intestinal candidasis ? I am asking because that is notoriously difficult diagnosis to make. Candida is a normal part of the human intestinal flora and you will NOT be able to fully kill it. Nobody has ever had.

Oral thrush may indicate an imbalance in the gut bacteria, not necessarily candida overgrowth.

Have you had any testing done ? There is a test that checks if you have for example Candida antigens in the blood. That may indicate systemic candidasis, it is a serious condition and usually treated with systemic antifungals like Fluconazole (Diflucan). If you dont have it in your blood, i dont think there is a big reason to panic. With diet and antifungals it can get under control. But are you sure this is what makes you sick ?

Speaking about imbalance, you take lots of antifungals but how about some probiotics and prebiotics ? You will not get rid of Candida if you dont repopulate your gut with healthy bacteria.

Hey Mangaka, I think you're doing a great job trying to kill off your Candida, however, my concern is that it is too much and you may be killing off too much good bacteria in your gut and creating dysbiosis in your gut flora. Like others have said, it could potentially be an imbalance of good/bad bacteria in your microbiome, and not necessarily candida. Have you tested for systemic candida? Have you done a stool/blood test from a trustworthy lab? If none of those treatments are working, you should consider asking your LLMD to put you on diflucan 100 mg and see if that helps.

Day it's Inbalance in the gut and now candida which I am suspecting I have a similar treatment with a ton of probiotics and probiotics that stopped candida growth so I don't get why my thrust won't go away either
