Preventing Thrush

Eat prebiotic and fermented probiotic foods. If you feel it is neccessary, take a probiotic supplement.

Avoid antibiotics. There are ways to clear up bacterial infections without antibiotics, and if you must take antibiotics make sure it is one specifically for the offending bacteria. Take probiotic supplements too and keep doing so for a month after you stop antibiotics.

Avoid sugar, white flour products, processed foods and caffeine.
