Yeast infection in nose and mouth

Posted by skullbasecancer4 @skullbasecancer4, Nov 25, 2023

My daughter has had a yeast infection in her nose and mouth . She has been put on meds twice but then infections come back . So far , they told her to start a yeast free diet for three months and just did blood work , to test for autoimmune diseases . Anyone else experience this?
Thanks so much !

Bless You. It took a while for the sinus and coughing to go away from COVID. The mucous took longer. It's thick clear mucous. I still have it in the back of my throat and I just got over Covid for a 2nd time. Guafenesin (Sp?) helps to thin mucous. I used the sustain release 400 mg from Amazon per my doctor's recommendation. I am not on it now. I drank lots of water and gargled with salt water rinse. I hope this helps. It's a nasty virus my friend. Praying for you to get over this soon.

P.S. I rrigate my sinus daily with Neilmed Sinus rinse. It helps keep the mucous down.

I came across this book several years ago and found it to be a great resource. It has been updated several times so look for the most recent addition.

This can be challenging to beat back, much less eradicate. I try to think of all the minute organisms inhabiting my body as needing to live together in some kind of optimal balance. I have found that a very, very low-sugar diet (fruit is my main source of carbs) plus eating fermented vegetables (which have beneficial bacteria that compete with the yeast) helps a lot (more so than taking expensive probiotics, which aren’t food…if I eat fermented red cabbage, I get a double bang for my nutrition “buck” because this is a brassica, which helps prevent cancer, which I hope to discourage from returning/metastasizing). Hope this helps. Wishing your daughter well with recovery from this.

As close to no sugar as possible is best for sure. Some of us are yeast breeders. So even though carrots and corn are organic, for me as a yeast breeder they are just sugar. 🙄
