Thrush

Thrush is a fungus that rapidly grows around the mucus membranes of the oral cavity or other areas of the body and occurs when the immune system has been compromised, allowing candida to multiply unchecked. To prevent this, you need good bacteria that fights off candida. Lactobacilli, a strain of beneficial bacteria found in fermented foods, can create an environment in the body that prevents thrust and other ailments like candida (or yeast) infections or bacterial vaginosis. This is especially beneficial for women who are most at risk for yeast overgrowth.
