Do I have leaky gut or Candida? Please help!

Hi I am new to this forum. I was hoping someone can help me figure out what is wrong with me... The GI dr is telling me he doesn't know of any other tests that I can do, but I think ones that test for candida and other issues may be able to help me.

Female, early 20's, symptoms started like 2-3 yrs ago, have been getting worse and worse.

I have been to 2 GI drs, both do not know what it wrong with me. One specializes in chron's and the other is just a general GI dr.

Tests:
I have had a bowel evacuation test=normal, colonoscopy=normal,
some test where they put an inflatted balloon up your butt=normal.
The only test that came back not normal was a sitz marker test, which confirmed with an x-ray that I have chronic constipation.
I also tested positive 2 times in a bacteria over growth test, done by testing my breath.

Symptoms:
-Cronic constipation- this is very severe. I cannot go unless I take miralax or harsher laxatives. I have literally gone a month before without having a bowel movement.
-chronic gas- I pretty much smell like fart all day everyday, I cannot stop it from happening, it leaks out silently nonstop. This is very embarrassing for me.
-Hair falling out- I have recently realized my hair is falling out very quickly. My hair is like 1/3 as full as it was 6-12 months ago.
-I used to never have stomach pain, but recently I have been getting sharp quick pains in the sides of my stomach.
-A year ago I had a major reaction to something unknown, and was broken out in hives for like 3 months, and had swelling/imflamation in my joints.
-I have had vitamin deficiencies in the past, even though I eat healthy for vitamin d, b and iron.
-I went to a homeopathic dr who gave me a allergy test through blood sample, and I had a reaction to like 8 different things, including soy and gluten. I went on a Elimination Diet for like 9 months, never ate any of the foods on my allergy list. None of my symptoms improved, so now I eat normally again (vegetarian diet).
-I had my inflamed appendix removed 2 yrs ago. They tested it and found fecal matter.

Medications:
-I have been on Acne medicine called retin-a-micro for like 3 yrs. My parents think this medicine may be causing my illness. I went off this medication for like 6 months when I had the hives for 3 months, my symptoms did not improve.
-Another Acne medicine derived from vitamin a, accutane, has been pulled off the market because it caused GI problems like chron's and colitis. I asked the GI dr about this, and he said since no reports have come out about my medication causing similar illnesses, that there was nothing he could do.

The GI dr doesn't have any idea what is wrong with me, and I feel like he is giving up on me :(
He just tells me there are no more tests he can do, except for invasive ones that require surgery, which he doesn't recommend to me, and has given me no details about.
He just tells me to take miralax everyday, and to come see him in 2 months to see if any symptoms have improved.

The GI dr has never suggested a blood test, or a stool test, or to be tested for parasites or candida. I will bring up these tests, since he can't think of any others on his own.

Do my symptoms match any other peoples' dealing with leaky gut or candida? Or do you think it could be my Acne medication? Or allergies to gluten or other foods? Or something else?

Thank you so much for your help! :) Tweet
