I'm not a physician, but I once worked for a pharma firm who were developing a 'cure' for C. albicans, although this was not a project I worked on.

AFAIK, C. albicans thrives in the mucosal areas of the body, which tend to be those areas where chilli heat affects can be a problem. I don't see any other connection between the two. Certainly one won't affect the other.

Can I say I don't know?

I have not heard of not eating chillies if somone has candida infection somewhere in their body. I can't see any reason why not, but have to say that I don't know for sure.
