A member asked:

Can thrush come back if i eat too much candy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes if diabetic: Uncontrolled diabetics have an increased risk of thrush (oral yeast infection). Therefore if you are diabetic and eat sugar food then your diabetes may not be well controlled and you could have more problems with thrush.
