What does my functional MD what to about the yeast?

My functional MD, that did the IG test, for Max sent me a list of supplements and prescribed two yeast killers. One of the yeast killers is Nystatin, the other is Diflucan. Honestly my gut says this isn't the way. I paid my homeopath for a consultation on this matter, since I felt that this was a band-aid approach. The GAPS diet book has been sitting on my nightstand for 6 months, it's intimidating and hard to read. After his protocol was given to me I knew that avoiding this diet was in vain. My homeopath is very well versed in GAPS, and she was a big support in helping me stay strong in the fact that yeast and low good bacteria is his biggest issues on the test. Food can fix and change this issue. It's like friendship bread, if it's not feed sugar and carbs it dies. That simple. The diflucan has been stated as being dangerous by my chiro family member and my homeopath. A dog died on it and a friend of my chiro had a heart attach on it. Why should this be administered instead of fermented foods, no complex sugars and lots of broth to heal the gut? One of the best tips from my homeopath is that you can buy grass fed gelatin that is tasteless and easy to mix into any food or drink. Not that homemade broth wont continue to be made and drank, but this will help get lots into him fast. Vitamin A & D are required to make all this happen per homeopath and chiro. The only supplement that I ordered by DR order is a digestive enzyme. I spent my money on Pickl-it jars, yogurt starter and gelatin instead of tons of supplements. I hope to change our food habits for lifelong maintenance. Dr's are people too, they are on a path just like the rest of us. Between all three; chiro, homeopath, and DR, I can find a balance that feels right to me and our family.
