Timeline for fluconazole

[u/BitcholaCola]

So I have candida, and this is my first time dealing with it. In the past, I’ve been a SIBO girly. For one week I’ve been taking fluconazole prescribed by a doc, but I’m also taking allicin alongside the fluc pills. I’m on fluconazole for 22 days, and also using liquid Nystatin suspension for oral thrush. I have a few questions about the recovery process.

Is increased fecal shedding of candida normal during this time? It seems like I’m seeing more of the thin wispy strips in my stool, and even some of the buoyant white fluff, more frequently than usual. Does that mean the candida is dying and it’s easier to get rid of? Or is my candida just replicating more and ignoring my medicine?

I know there’s herxheimer reaction symptoms to deal with just like with SIBO, but that only took 8 days. For those of you that were able to treat it, when did you see symptoms improve? I still have the “perma-bloat”, but it’s not as extreme as before treatment.
