A member asked:
Can diflucan taken orally cure candidiasis even while the person continues to eat 100g of sugar per day during and after the treatment?
7 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: However recurrence is likely. Consuming too much sugar will have other adverse health effects beyond thrush

Yes: a person on a 2000 calorie meal plan should eat about 200-300 g of carbohydrate. I, of course, would recommend more complex carbs over simple sugars, but 100 g of carbs should be fine.
