Today we’re going to talk about oral thrush and a high carb diet. Normally, candida lives inside the body, and it doesn’t bother you. But if you take an antibiotic, which kills all of the bacteria that are keeping the candida in check, then you could have an overgrowth of this yeast. This can lead to oral thrush. Typically, if you have oral thrush, your tongue will look white.

You can also develop oral thrush if you consume a lot of sugar. Candida loves sugar and things that turn into sugar quickly, like refined grains and starches. These things can turn neutral candida into an unfriendly version of candida called candidiasis.

Candidiasis can live in the:
• Vagina
• Skin
• Throat
• Mouth
• Esophagus
• GI tract

A few things that can increase your risk for oral thrush:
• Steroids
• Stress
• HIV
• Birth control pills or high estrogen
• Diabetes
• Antibiotics

The best remedy for oral thrush:
*Grapefruit seed extract
Grapefruit seed extract is a fantastic natural anti-fungal. You can take 10 drops of grapefruit seed extract mixed in 3 tbsp. of water 1-3 times a day. You can also swish it around in your mouth for about 20 seconds before swallowing.

This is so true. When my diet was high in carbs, my tongue was always white. I am amazed now that my tongue is no longer white with my low carb diet. Thanks Dr Berg for sharing!

I`ve lost 21 kg in around 7 months since I started Healthy Keto. I feel 10 years younger. All for free on Youtube! Thank you, sir!

I used to suffer with candida--years of trying to manage this problem. Since I started intermittent fasting, candida is no longer an issue for me. I had tried medication, no sugar diets, and anti-fungal diets and still had this issue. The intermittent fasting really worked for me. Thanks for everything!

Dear Dr. Berg, because of you, my life will never be the same.

[madchaos]

Sugar and white anything, bread pasta, rice, pastries, potato, yes high carbs you have to quit. I have been off of all of it for three months now. Amazing transformation.

[briansprenger]

Hi Dr Berg, you mentioned on one of your most recent shows that you were coming out with a new video on burning mouth syndrome, I hope it's still coming.

Ur channel has been a huge help for me as I struggle to keep a healthy diet.

hi doctor..

3 years back i met my 45 years old cousine and he told me that he was suffering from liver cirrhosis.
he was a non alcoholic guy ..
so we all were very confused by his liver disorder.
then one evening i told him that it is the exta amount of yeast or fungus in his gut responsible for the liver cirrhosis.

yeast consumes carbs and other nutrients and performs anaerobic respiration to produce alcohol in the gut.
this alcohol, in turn, is absorbed by the intestine and makes its way to the liver where alcohol dehydrogenase neutralises it.

thus his liver was getting alcohol 24 hrs in minute quantities which eventually leads to the liver failure and he died last year..god save the soul.

i had recommended him a stool test for the fungus but he did not take the advice seriously..

we dont need fungus in our gut..
we need more bacteria...

this fungus causes liver disorders in non alcoholic persons...

TCM doctors told me my tongue is white because of dairy, but I rarely consume dairy (but mostly carbs). Thank you so much!

[highhavingness]

Great! I’ve kept my candida at bay with caprylic acid tablets, but will have to try this if I have another flair up! So for so good not having a flair up, by just staying off the carbs!

[enginemagician]

Dr. Berg. I have been studying natural cures for over 30 years and you are the best natural cures doctor I have ever listened to.I have benefitted greatly from your videos. Wish I could repay you. Maybe some day.

My 3 years old had white spots on his nails and thanks to Dr Berg videos, I knew right away zinc was missing.
Thank you. Supplemented with trace minerals

[davysmith]

im not Dr Berg, but i want to say that Braggs Apple Cedar Vinegar killed my Candida, took a few weeks, downed it daily and took care of years of issues.

Hi Doc, I really appreciate your content. The depth of your research and simplicity of your delivery makes it very easy to understand and implement. Much love and keep doing this, you're a Very Special person. I'm sure many people feel the same way.

[rossricketts]

Legit have had this since i was a kid. I can't wait to try this out. Thank you so much Dr. Berg!!!

[iamsparta]

Dr. Berg!! I’ve been watching your content for over a month now and have lost 23 LBs as well as an insane improvement in my overall mental status!! Thank you for the tips and tricks and mostly, the motivation!! But I must say the audio quality could stand to increase a bit so it’s not so harsh on my ears. I have hearing issues that make your videos very painful to listen to unless I have it at EXTREMELY low volumes. I would be ECSTATIC if this was something you placed on your priority list for future content!!

[rcrevolution]

Thanks. After Covid I suffered from this and it went away after cutting out carbs and refined sugar combined with fasting

[youare]

I've been suffering from throat and tongue candida for a year (difficulty swallow and to speak)... all doctors I visited used to give me anti inflammatory or antibiotic or antifungal medications... but I realized that my case got worsened every time. Now I will try these remedies... hoping it will help
