Has any one else had very bad Oral Thrush. Have suffered with dry mouth since having Chemo Therapy 10yrs ago.
Now have Oral Thrush and Lichen Planus. Oral Surgeon has tried very thing to get rid of it but nothing works. I am now gargling with Apple Cider Vinegar and it seems to be thinning the Thrush. Control Diabetes with diet and exercise. No medication.
 
What are your blood sugar levels- higher sugars can feed the thrush.
 
Hello, welcome!
Do you test your blood sugars? I know high blood readings creates a nice environment for bacteria to grow causing all sorts of issues.
