Yup, yeast is systemic...it can become a host anywhere in your body, all except teeth, I think I heard. I'm thinking your b.control pills may be contributing to your yeast infections. And you are right, yeast can cause more symptoms than just your typical "yeast infection". Fungus can burrow through your intestinal wall, cause inflammation in your joints, fatigue, brain fogginess, high cholesterol, diabetes, sinus infections, has been implicated in cancer, change DNA structure in your cells, and the list goes on. You may wish to experiment with an anti-fungal diet. Chances are, you'll begin to feel much better. And, it only takes one dose of antibiotics for yeast overgrowth to occur, even if it was way back when you were a kid. Antibiotics are fungal poisons. They kill everything, good and bad.
Are you taking any probiotics at the moment? They may be a starting point for you, to put the good bacteria back into your gut, and squeeze out the yeast. There are natural antifungals as well, if your doctor won't prescribe nystatin or diflucan, prescription antifungals.
For me, following an antifungal diet helped me get rid of my IBS symptoms. I avoid yeast when I can, and moderate my intake of processed sugar and grains. Yeast/fungus loves sugar/grains.
