Oral Candida Treatment - Difficult to Get Rid of But it Can Be Done

Also known as "thrush," candida is one of those yeast (fungal) infections that can be annoying and difficult to get rid of but it can be done.

Begin with removing all refined sugar products from your diet. That includes yeast based products especially. You don't want to pour "fertilizer" on a yeast infection.

If you have been on any type of antibiotic treatment they may have upset the creation of good bacteria that helps digestion. In this case, you need to encourage the growth of bacteria to offset bacterial loss while taking the antibiotic.

Try taking a "probiotic." Just the opposite of an antibiotic, the probiotic introduces millions of live bacteria back into your system thereby offsetting the damage done by the anti-biotic.

The most commonly know probiotic is lactobacillus acidophilus. You may have seen L. acidophilus milk in the dairy section of your grocery store. This is milk that has been enriched with the L. acidophilus bacteria. L. acidophilus is also found in yogurt and you can find it in supplemental form at any health food store.

Another school of thought suggests using a digestive enzyme after eating each meal. Since necessary bacteria in the digestive system tends to thrive in a more alkaline environment creating that environment artificially may help prevent the fermentation. Try taking a small amount (about 1/8th of a teaspoon) of pure sodium bicarbonate approximately 20 minutes after eating. It may very well improve your digestion as well as help in the prevention of bad breath.
