Oral yeast infections are no different from vaginal Candida in the fact that the are caused by the same organism, and they need to be treated the same way. If you're suffering from oral thrush then your body is allowing the yeast to mutate into fungus, and your mouth is now in the position where it has the highest concentration of this destructive organism.

The white patches in your mouth are a build up of fungus, and it is feeding on the skin cells. So at the moment your mouth has become a good home for the fungus, and you need to change that before you can cure your infection.

This type of infection loves warm moist places and that's why the vagina is the most common area of the human body that it infects the most. Because your mouth is continually warm and moist, it makes it another popular area of the body that get infected regularly.

Other problems that can arise from suffering from an oral yeast infection is acid reflux. When you have this infection in your mouth you're continually swallowing fungus all day, and this will disrupt your digestion. If you start taking indigestion remedies for your acid reflux then you're going to create an intestinal fungal infection.

When you take any type of heartburn remedy you neutralize the acid in your stomach. The acid in your stomach is needed by your body to kill organisms such as yeast and fungus when you eat. If you're neutralizing the acid then the fungus will survive the journey into your intestines, and then you'll have another infection to contend with.

If you look in your mouth you can see the fungus feeding on the skin cells. Well, the fungus will do the exact same thing in your intestines if you keep on swallowing it. If you're taking indigestion remedies than your infection is going to grow at a faster rate. Your body is already allowing the yeast mutate into fungus, and that will be happening in your intestines as well.

Because you're swallowing the fungus as well as the yeast mutating into it, your internal infection is going to get worse very quickly. If you're taking medicine for your oral thrush then the infection in your intestines is going untreated. And just like all other yeast infection treatments, these won't address the cause of your infection.

So you kill the fungus with the anti fungal drug you've been prescribed, but the yeast in your body will just keep on mutating into more fungus once your treatment has stopped. You can't cure your infection until you stop the yeast mutating.

Because your body has now become a good host for the yeast and fungus you need to give it a good cleanse of these health destroying organisms. That way, your body's natural defenses will be able to protect you like they have done for your whole life. You have friendly bacteria in your body that has been keeping the Candida yeast under control, but that is now too low in numbers to do the job it was doing before you became infected.

Once you get the bacterial balance back in your body then your infection will be cured in all areas. You won't just be targeting one part of your body, it will be treated as one infection so every part of your body gets cured.
