The connection between Candida & Leaky Gut Syndrome?

I am a healthy woman in my early 40's who is active, fit, and eats a predominantly organic, vegan, natural whole grains diet. Over the past 5 years, I have developed allergies to wheat, amongst other things. I get immediate reactions to dairy whenever I consume it. Lately, my sugar cravings have been at their all-time high, and the Candi-Gone cleanse (by Renew Life) my partner & I have used in the past seemed of little to no use for clearing our candida. We use acidofulus 2x/daily. Lately, I have been waking around 4am or so once or twice per month, and finding I am so mentally tweaked that I get reams and reams of stream of consciousness flowing thru my brain!!(Not bad, considering I am writing a book; however, a little inopportune in terms of my timing!) I'll get up, write, then get inspired to do something else before quietening myself back to sleep. So... What I am wondering is: (i) Does anybody know if B12 is implicated in night waking? (ii) Is night-waking a sign that I need to cleanse my adrenals? If so, what product and precautions are recommended? and, finally, (iii) most importantly, what is the most effective natural way of treating candida, or should I just assume Leaky Gut Syndrome due to allergies)?? I find the literature on this topic hugely overwhelming. Every time, I try to take a poke at it, I want to cry! Any help people care to offer would be much appreciated. With gracious thanks to you all! :^)
