I was hoping to get some insight on what kind of physician I should consult for Candida overgrowth? Here are the list of symptoms I have which lead me to believe I have candida overgrowth:

- Oral Thrush - I have bumpy spots on mid to back end of my tongue with white patches.
- Digestive Issues - I have had digestive issues for the past 7-8 yrs.. I experience constipation, gas diarrhea, bloating even when I consume foods that have slightly higher sugar content.
Skin Problems - Throughout my college days, I suffered with skin problems. Mostly cystic acne and peeling of my skin. I thought it was hormonal but when I controlled my diet and consumed food with less sugar content, my skin started getting better instantly.
- Joint Pain - This is a very recent symptom. Few weeks ago, I am able to pop my joints (ankle and wrist joints mainly). For the last couple of weeks, my left thumb has developed mild to moderate pain.

If anyone has had similar symptoms, I would greatly appreciate if any assistance on how to cure this condition. Thanks!

Hi @sam595, I wanted to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect! You will see that I moved your conversation to a discussion that is already talking about Candida overgrowth. I did this so that you can connect with others that have your same diagnosis. I also included your discussion in the skin health group as well so you can get the opinions of people from that group and not have to go through several different avenues to get responses.
Have you consulted with your local physician about these issues as well?
