    I asked my GP for my notes (im in the UK) and it said "candida" a LOT,

    But only suffered thrush once and oral thrush twice,

    I remember once telling my doctor on the phone when he said my blood test came back saying "candida" and he was explaining to me what to do like I had thrush,

    I had to say it to him multiple times I DONT have thrush!

    And he said it can be like an infection in your stomach,

    They didn't do any follow ups

    I have heard that perimenopause /menopause that some women get it x
