A member asked:
Can an impaired esophagus cause candida esophagitis or can candida esophagitis cause an impaired esophagus? or are they unrelated to each other? thank you in advance?

It depends on what you mean by impaired. If you mean a motility disorder, the 2 are not related. But, candida esophagitis can lead to ulcerations. It also causes painful swallowing, difficulty swallowing and chest discomfort. Those are the main symptoms/complications of candida esophagitis. If you have this, see a GI doctor for treatment. Good luck to you!
