Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I had a terrible case of thrush during and after treatment that was not responding to meds. I was finally told by one prosthodontist to avoid anything WHITE. Between milk, Ensure Plus, cream sauces over pasta, my entire diet was white. Once I stopped that, the meds worked and the thrush went away. White carbohydrates turn to sugar so they need to be avoided also.
Take care,
