It's been so long since I drank I honestly can't remember every little hellish physical symptom that have since gone away. Hopefully in your next 60 day 'test' you'll find you feel lots better without alcohol in your life. And then if you pick up again, despite realizing the impact alcohol may have had, I hope you get help for that at some point too.
Candida albicans is a yeast infection. See a doctor.

Hi again Raveneyes
I understand you have issues with doctors - but the medical rules are pretty clear here.
If you want a competent and definitive diagnosis for any of your medical issues, please see a Dr.

A Candida infection isn't limited to the female genitourinary tract. It can colonize many body systems. Alcoholics are at increased risks of all sorts of infections, not the least of which are respiratory infections. The fact that you have these upper GI issues in combination with your gagging is definitely something that could increase the potential for aspiration, and subsequent pneumonia. So yeah, see a doctor.
