Oral Thrush Which Will Not Budge
12 Answers
I have had oral thrush for months. My mouth felt like it was gacky and slimy, and I would get what I thought was phlegm stuck in my throat at night- I thought caused by my cpap machine. My tongue and teeth were gurning all the time as it felt so uncomfortable, and swalling food was impossible- it would get stuck and my throat would bleed. I was seen by ENT, who said it was in my throat (not mouth, hence not being able to see much), given Nystan, then given the tablets, then more tablets, then both, and the moment I stop taking it, it comes straight back. Has anyone had this, or can Sqad offer thoughts? How can I get rid of it? I am already low carb and rinse after using my inhaler, and clean my cpap regularly.

If the diagnosis has been established by the above it would seem that modern treatment hasn't worked, so I suggest the old fashioned treatment of Listerine mouth washes every four hours.
If you are a diabetic, make sure your blood sugars are under control.

I have steroid asthma inhalers and despite a lot of care I occasionally get Thrush. Sounds as if you have tried everything. The only thing I can suggest to ease matters is live, natural yoghurt. I eat it every morning for breakfast. Worth a try for a few days, just a good couple of spoonsful swilled around your mouth and swallowed. If it works a bit - it buys you some time.
I have indeed- I don’t eat sugar, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, grains or beans! That’s why I’m not diabetic. I was borderline and reversed it completely by changing my diet. So I don’t think sugar can be the cause of the Candida :/ Also I don’t eat dairy so can’t have standard yoghurt but I take a probiotic every day.
