Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...I had been diagnosed with candida esophagitis, I had been on prilosec but it wasnt helping. I took week of diflucan but as soon as I was off it, the pain can back,  took prilosec but no help.    The dr came me some more diflucan but started having this back pain.  Got off it.I am now taking acidophilus, enzymes and some    licorice, but still having pain which radiates from my back.   Any suggestions.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor! I read that you took Prilosec (omeprazole), in order to reduce the pain caused by gastric acid. And then you took rifleman (fluconazole) but the symptoms got back once you stopped it. I would suggest trying taking itraconazole, which is the choice if fluconazole didn't work. However, ask your doctor if you can tolerate itraconazole. The standard regimen is 200 mg/day for about three weeks. Hope it helps, and I wish you a quick recovery!
