Is there a link between cocaine use and candida?
Question:
Answers:
I would say yes, it can lead to that. It may not, but cocaine is really hard on your stomach. All drugs and chemicals are basically toxins to the digestive system. Many drugs directly affect the digestive organs and digestion itself. Over-the-counter, prescription drugs and recreational drugs that can affect digestion include: antacids, antihistamines, NSAIDS, birth control pills, laxatives, steroids, alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine and many others. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, acetaminophen and ibuprofen can directly irritate the lining of the stomach impairing digestion leading to infection.
Yes, especially the use of crack cocaine and occular candida (eye infections)
