Thrush is a yeast infection that can occur in the mouth, throat and vagina. Drinking alone does not cause it, but the nutritional deficiencies* that go along with alcohol abuse and alcoholism could certainly contribute to immune deficiency that could allow thrush to develop.

All alcoholics suffer from vitamin and other deficiencies.

Can you substitute splenda for powdered sugar?

Personally I would not. Powdered sugar and Splenda have two unique and different textures and tastes, meaning that you should follow the recipe; if it calls for using powdered sugar to make something and not to dust or to top it with. However instead of topping something in powdered sugar I would use Splenda, even though I believe it is not the best thing for you, instead of powdered sugar since it has no calories-I mean why should you make something that is weighed down in saturated fat and calories even worse for you by adding more sugar that is just finer? I would always add Splenda since it has 0 calories and fat.EDIT: There are easons other than calories to use Splenda-- ever hear of diabetes?You can make your own powdered Splenda-- For every 3/4 cup of Splenda, add 2 TBSP corn starch. Put into a blender and pulse until you have the correct consistency.

Can tampons be used when you have thrush?

Tampons shouldn't be used with a vaginal infection. Tampons are a major contributing cause of vaginal infections as they prevent vaginal cleaning and encouarge harmful bacterial growth - if you already have a vaginal infection tampon use could make this worse or put you at higher risk of other infections. Thrush can also damage or irritate vaginal tissues, damaged vaginal tissues give TSST-1 toxins a more direct route into your body so putting you at higher risk of TSS. Many women also mistake abnormal vaginal discharge with vaginal infections such as thrush, however unusual discharge may be a sign of having bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus or streptococcus pyogenes present, which poses risk of TSS.
