I have been on Junel 1/20 (21 days) for almost two years now and since March, I have been experiencing intermittent nausea. I had an upper endoscopy, labs, and ultrasound. The EGD found candida esophagitis which was treated with 3 weeks of fluconazole. However, the nausea has continued and I wonder if it has to do with my birth control. Could birth control cause nausea, even a year after being on it? I don't often get a period (if so, very light) and I wonder if that is a factor.

Pobably not at this point. I suppose the only way to know is either go lower with LoLoestrin which is not generic but most gyns have samples for you to try first or go off the pill for a pack and see if the nausea goes away. If you are still having the nausea of the placebo pills (the week of your period there is no hormone then so it is definitely not the pills).
Yuck, nausea is such a terrible feeling. It could have many causes, but birth control pills that you've been on for two years would not be likely. Neither would the lack of a period typically cause nausea. However, that being said, I would talk to your doctor. If you still do want to change your birth control, there are other options you could try.
Best of luck!

Very Unlikely this is due to the birth control.
IF you have candida in the esophagus - THIS needs to be evaluated for OTHER reasons - because you could have an Immunodeficiency problem, you could have TB - tuberculosis, so YOU need to get seen by an Internal Medicine doctor and possibly an Infectious Disease physician.
Wish you well
