A member asked:

Can candida cause flushing and alcohol intolerance?

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Not candida: Candida or other yeast or fungal infections do not cause alcohol intolerance. Alcohol induced flushing, lightheadedness, and other symptoms are especially common in people of Asian ancestry.
