Thanks, Gail, the Xylitol sounds like an interesting option. He has been swishing with acidopholous for awhile - based on the idea that the mouth flora is out of wack. At one point, I thought that all the yogurt he ate should help with that - but it was pointed out that the sugars in the dairy and flavoring were feeding the thrush faster than the cultures could help it.

In response to Brian's post, the whole "scaping off" part was what the different health care providers seemed to be in disagreement about.

Anyway, things are okay - just minor issues - in comparison to what others are facing.

Thanks,
Anita
