Ugh Thrush Again :(

[klperry 6]

I had to go to the ER yesterday. My throat was full of mucus and I was having difficulty breathing. After that horrible swallow test that I couldn't complete because I can't swallow they determined I have thrush again but this time it's in my esophagus. Got 2 prescriptions and back home. I'm a little over a month out and I can honestly say I've had a rough time. I'm not sure how I keep getting thrush but I wish it'd go away for good!

Hi,I posted on all the forums for the first 3 months after my sleeve about this.It drove me insane.It was in my throat and my mouth and the mycostatin I had didnt help at all.Then it just vanished.

Recently I had a mini choclotae bar two nights in a row and realized my tongue had a white coating on the third morning.Sugar causes this for me.I realized I was taking a bit of honey in my tea post op and when it was finished and I switched to sweeteners,the thrush vanished.I have taken no visible sugars for the past 5 months until this past week.

So do check out your diet if there isnt any hidden sugar,even milk carbs which is milk sugars can cause this.Also look on google which foods causes candida.You might just have something in your diet that causes it.Take some lacto biffidus like interflora or lactoflora (open the capsule and put it directly onto your tongue) this might also help.

Good luck and I hope it goes away quickly.It is aweful to have that funny horrible feeling in your throat the whole time,I know!
