What are the possibilities?

I recently went to the Dr. with a severe tongue problem. Diagnosis was oral thrush. As I am 55 yrs old he suggested that I may have an autoimmune disorder, such as hepatitis. I had blood tests for a variety of things, including Lymes disease. I have been having bloating of my stomach and pain for almost a year. The thrush has been present for 2 weeks or so. Could the two be related? He is having me get an endoscopy and says if the thrush is not gone after treatment (Nystatin) and appears in my stomach or intestines after the endoscopy that I probably have an autoimmune disorder. Anyone else ever had this?
