I took a fluconazole tablet to get rid of the infection, though I question the safety of a medication that affects my ability to think so badly for most of the day when I first take it. I cannot abide the pain and discomfort of the infection 
Do you really feel the aloe vera will make a big difference? We hear about sooo many different remedies for things, and often they rarely make much difference at all for most.
My poo test came back negative. No little critters swimming around so I can take back the flea collar I purchased for myself.

It seems quite a few people are affected by fluconazole. I guess I’m one of the lucky ones who didn’t have any side effects. I read everything I can on meds before I take them and from what I can tell, taking one fluconazole isn’t going to cause much if any trouble for you. However, some people are prescribed regular doses and they have to be monitored for all kinds of potential issues including but not limited to turning into a frog.
Hey David. Ever looked into paleo/primal diets? This is the basic outline: paleonu.com/get-started/. I went 100% primal (which is basically paleo, with a tad more dairy) a few months ago, and have been feeling great.
I did experience carb fatigue for about a week (less energy and a dull headache as I came off my pasta dependency). Though since then, I’ve had more energy and have felt awesome. My diet now consists mostly of pastured meats (beef and chicken, primarily, but I do love me some bacon), plenty of veggies, some fruit (berries, mostly), and eggs. This is one of my favorite primal lifestyle blogs: marksdailyapple.com

David, having a Candida infection in a level to actually cause any symptom its very very rare in any patient with a normal immune system. When you find a Candida infection in the gastrointestinal tract, you start looking for HIV or a Tumor, so I highly doubt that’s what you should be looking for.
Have you been tested for something like celiac disease? Gluten allergy? Lactose Intolerance? Irritative Colon? Any can happen at a late age and might be more probable than a Yeast infection 
"Anyway, while I have a pill for the yeast now, I’m curious if there are any dietary (or other) recommendations anyone here might have to make sure I stop baking bread ":sad:
David, have you tried Probiotics? I live in an area where the water is treated with high levels of chlorine. Although I use a Santevia water system and put a filter on my shower head, I also take a daily dose of probiotics to keep those good bacteria in tack (which help fight yeast too). I also try to add a tablespoon or two of unpasteurized sauerkraut to my dinner to help with this too.
Best of luck.

some things i Just dont care to question anymore. there are a lot of studies that say aloe is good for you, I have a bunch of plants in the backyard, so I just do it. Does it make a BIG difference, not really looking for a miracle from the aloe, just a little help. all of the things that I do that may help, I may not always feel the effects but that does not necessarily mean there isn’t one and that they wont help in the long run.

Thank you all for your wonderful insight and suggestions.
I get the results from my LEAP test in about a week.
At this point, the issue with my guts persists. In fact, it has spread to my left side as well. I’ve had so many medical tests it’s crazy, and they can’t find anything wrong. So now I’m wondering if it’s something RIGHT. My body and other aspects of me have been going through quite a transformation as of late. When it comes to feeling different, my ego takes over and I often feel fear. Letting go of this attachment has been an interesting and difficult process.
Last night I couldn’t sleep because of what I’m feeling in my gut. I’m currently staying with my girlfriend’s family in the midwest. I finally got up at 4am and went for a run, not knowing where I was going. Next thing I knew, I was at the entrance to a cemetery. I decided to enter and spent the next half hour walking around the cemetery in the middle of the night pondering my fear of death amongst countless dead people.
What’s going on with me MAY be serious medical issue, but it’s giving me so much perspective. Yes, what’s going on with my gut is right. Cultivate the opposite, right?
