Side effects are rare with fluconazole, and the severe ones you mention are extremely rare. Whether it will help your symptoms is a separate issue -- candida overgrowth is the only thing it might treat, and even when candida is present in the intestines it isn't necessarily the cause of symptoms like yours. However, it certainly won't hurt anything to give it a try.
