Christina, I'm so sorry for everything that you are going through, it can't 
be easy for you!

I don't know a great deal about fungi, but I know that grains (especially 
those over six months old) and corn are not part of an anti-fungal diet. 
Fortunately, they're not part of the paleo diet either!

While I don't have an answer to the question of how to kill off all the 
fungus and bring you back to health, I do have a few thoughts:

Regarding bloating/gas - you might try fennel.

Here are a few anti-fungals, and also a couple things to support the immune 
system to help neutralize the fungus:
o  garlic
o  thyme
o  echinacea
o  black walnut  (the natural tannins kill fungus... I have actually known 
women who have collected black walnuts that have fallen from the trees and 
have backed their cars over them in order to break the hull, then make a 
tincture out of the walnuts)
o  licorice
o  cloves
o  chamomile
o  lemongrass
o  turmeric
some of the above, you can grow yourself (even in pots, if you don't have 
garden space) and incorporate them as a regular part of your diet  once you 
are healed.

I'm sure you have done a Google on anti-fungals.  So I hope the above isn't 
totally redundant for you.
