Is Candid Overgrowth The Cause Of Extreme Bloating?

What would you say is the problem if I m experiencing more bloating than normal, specifically in the face, and I notice I m more sensitive to alcohol, experiencing blackouts after drinking alcohol but not what I would consider an excessive amount... Could this be a sign I need to cleanse my liver? Or could I have Candid overgrowth?

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

If you are experiencing black outs in response to alcohol use, it would be best to discontinue the use of alcohol even if you are only using small quantities.

It is possible that alcohol use can affect the liver particularly if it is used repeatedly but liver disease itself, unless very severe, would not normally cause loss of consciousness.

In terms of candida overgrowth, this is not a known cause of black outs.

Other potential causes would be electrolyte disorders, heart disease, low blood pressure, dehydration.

I hope this helps
