What You Need to Know about Mouth and Throat Yeast Infections

by Eric Bakker N.D.

mouth yeast infectionDid you know that two of the dirtiest places in your body where bacteria and fungi tend to live, are in the mouth and the anus? These areas form the entry and exit of your digestive tract. Candida yeast infections can breed readily in the mouth, throat and nasopharyngeal region (the ear, nose and throat) as well as in the large intestine and rectal area. It comes as no surprise that candida becomes a common infection of the digestive tract since the prevalence of candida yeasts in the mouth (oral cavity) can exceed 50% of the oral flora.

Before I continue with this article, you should know I've recently compiled a list of science-backed ways to get rid of candida yeast infections. You can download my free Candida Report here if you haven't yet.

Oral Candidiasis – Yeast Infections of the Mouth

Oral candidiasis infections, yeast infections of the mouth, are most often recognized from symptoms such as burning and pain in the mouth or throat, fever and oral lesions. You may find a heavily coated tongue, whitish generally, and cracking around the cor­ners of the mouth, a condition called angular stomatitis. I look for the telltale signs of a yeast infection in patients with oral or throat candidiasis, which often include cravings for sugar, alcohol, bread or other forms of carbohydrates, and I generally also expect to find some degree of fatigue, depression, muscle aches and joint pain.

Common Causes Of Mouth and Throat Yeast Infections

There are many causes of yeast infections of the mouth, but here are the most common causes I have discovered:

  • Poor dental hygiene
  • People who wear dentures and especially poor fitting dentures
  • People with diabetes
  • People who take steroidal medications
  • People with compromised immune systems (hepatitis, cancer, HIV, etc.)
  • People under recurring stress (a lowered immune response)
  • People who take antibiotics, or have a history of taking antibiotics
  • People who smoke tobacco and drink alcohol

Candida Esophagitis – Yeast Infections of the Throat

A throat yeast infection will generally result from an oral yeast infection or fungal infection that starts in the mouth and then spreads down the esophagus (throat). Yeast infections, including candida in the throat, can affect all ages and sexes. However, those with weak immune systems seem to be at a much greater risk of developing candida esophagitis.

One of the most common symptoms of a throat yeast infection is a feeling of discomfort or burning pain experienced behind the breastbone or sternum. This can be felt either behind the upper part of the sternum where the collar bone joins or it can be felt about two or three inches lower down. The symptoms of burning or discomfort can be particularly felt when alcohol is consumed, a hot drink or sometimes even after chocolate or bread. Your doctor may just prescribe an “acid blocker” medication and tell you that it is heartburn or esophagitis.

I can highly recommend that you visit a practitioner who specializes in yeast infections; you may well have a candida yeast infection that needs treatment. This is a very common complaint and I see many middle aged patients with reflux or heartburn who have in fact a yeast infection.

    A doctor gave me a strong dose of antibiotics (even though she knew I was allergic to them) for a bladder infection. After four days of liquid diarrhea I caught a taxi to my local chemist who said to stop them, they are too strong for me and have killed everything inside of me. I have lost all confidence in the doctors where I live (not that I had much in the first place). I also came out in a horrible rash all over my abdomen, under my breasts, on my sides, back and up my neck into the back of my head. Another doctor said that it was a fungal rash. A lady I know put me onto Whitfields Ointment which cleared it up quickly. However, I still have terrible burning pain in my neck just behind my right ear which goes into my mouth and right across to the left ear under the base of my skull, down the front of my neck under my right ear and onto my collarbone all the way across the top of my back at the base of my neck. It affects my brain function and at times I cannot think or do things, causes swelling at the back of my head, makes me extremely tired and irritable. I have other chronic illnesses (too many to type) but this has only happened since I had the antibiotics. I have become extremely forgetful as well. I have started your phase one and would like to know how much your Canxida medicine is and your book as well. Any advice will be gratefully appreciated as I am very much alone in this world and have to help myself, whilst living in poverty. I am a 67 year old woman. Thank you for all your online information, you are a blessing. Jazel
