don't risk your teeth. Oral thrush requires a full course of antibiotics.

Unsweetened yogurt and cheese won't hurt but are definitely not a cure

Save your time and money- skip the Dr. visit and invest in a bottle of peroxide. Swab your mouth with it several times a day. This is much more effective than any diet, and significantly cheaper than prescription medication. And, as antibiotics are known to CAUSE yeast infections, probably much more effective.

Oral thrush comes from an overgrowth of Candida Albinans. It is a fungus that lives in the body and feeds on processed sugar and carbohydrates. So if you want to go for a natural treatment, the first thing to do is to watch what you are eating.

For the length of the treatment, you must avoid all breads, pastries, pasta, or mostly anything with wheat, rye, buckwheat, kamut... avoid all yeast.

Also avoid all sugar, especially processed sugars. That includes stuff like maple syrup, honey, brown sugar, molasses... if you can, eat less fruits. Choose berries, grapefruit, cranberries, lemons and limes.

You can eat brown rice, quinoa, millet. You can eat meat, fish, tofu, nuts. You should eat a lot of fresh vegetables, especially garlic. And you can drink milk, eat yogurt, and a bit of cheese.

So yeah basically it's a really healthy diet. I would recommend keeping this diet two or three weeks to be sure that the infection will not come back. This diet will help the Candida go away and keep it away, but this only is probably not enough.

In this battle, your main allies are:

- Garlic: eat a lot of it, preferably raw. It has anti-fungal properties.

- Pro biotic Yogurt: Candida Albicans overgrowth can be controlled by helping the 'good' bacterias in your body who feed on acidophilus.

- Oregano oil: this one is really powerful. 5 or 6 drops in a glass of water, 3 to 5 times a day.

there are probably other stuff so i welcome people who have other knowledge to please share it! :)
