Yeast Infection Of The Tongue Thrush

A yeast infection of the tongue thrush can be absolutely horrible. It effects our self esteem, makes our breathe smell horribly, and it is completely embarrassing.

There are a few solutions to a yeast infection of the tongue thrush. The first is to use over the counter or pharmaceutical drugs to cure it. This is a good solution for a temporary fix, however, it doesn't fix the problem of the fungus growing in your body.

Another solution is to boil 3 cloves of garlic in 2 quarts of water. Allow it to simmer for 5 minutes and then mix in 2 tablespoons of epsom salt. Use this as a mouth wash 3 or 4 times a day until the yeast infection of the tongue thrush has gone away.

Once you have fixed the thrush, you need to take a look at how you intend to get rid of the fungus in your body or you will only have another outbreak again in the future and on other parts of your body. The best solution is to fix your diet.

The problem with most people is that they simply do not eat the right foods, and they certainly don't eat enough of the right foods. This is especially true when talking about illness or yeast infection of the tongue thrush.

It is essential that you eat lot's of green vegetables and other vegetables that are high in fiber and low in starch. This should make up at least 60% of your daily diet while trying to rid yourself of the Candida fungus.

You will have to stop eating foods that contain lot's of sugar, that are high in carbohydrates, and high starch foods. Foods with sugar and yeast in them, such as soda, alcohol, snacks, most cerials, and many other foods feed the fungus and only prolong the infection. Carbohydrates are turned into sugar. Things such as pasta, breads, and grains.

If you really want to get rid of yeast infection of the tongue thrush, you will certainly need to pay attention to the food you eat. Drugs will fix the break out on your tongue, but it won't get rid of the fungus.
