As someone with my own serious candida struggles, I empathize. I have often wondered what I will do when I encounter the same thing with regards to Antibiotics . My two cents, for what it's worth - the candida may become imbalanced again, yes, with the use of Antibiotics . However, you can re-balance that once the round of it is over with. If you NEED to take it for the HP then do so! Having said that, this is the Water Fast forum and I'm also sure that the veterans on this site will support your doing the fast. I think East can meet West here, so to speak. No?
