Can chewing gum/eating candy sweetened with xylitol cure oral thrush? Has anyone ever had any experience with curing oral thrush without a prescription from a doctor?

No, it won%26#039;t work. True oral thrush will require a prescription antifungal. Xylitol can be useful in decreasing the incidence of oral candidiasis (e.g., Prevention), but it has not been shown to be effective in treatment. 50% 2 Votes

you might want to add eating yogurt with live cultures and perhaps a mouth wash with a bit of tee tree oil in it. Oral thrush is a yeast infection. 0% 0 Votes
Xylitol is an natural anti-fungal, so i believe it will help a lot, but i would take grape fruit seed extract also to really kill it. 25% 1 Vote
