Lizobakt for stomatitis - how to use

Description and properties of Lysobakt

The body contains a small amount of lysozyme, a natural antiseptic. It is present in saliva, tears, and milk. The amount of synthesized substance is not enough to treat diseases.

The main component of the drug "Lizobakt" is the protein enzyme lysozyme. The active substance prevents the proliferation of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, destroys viruses and fungal infections. Lysozyme stimulates the division of cells of the immune system (antibodies).

The second active substance is pyridoxine (vitamin B6). The effect of the vitamin on the body:

• participates in the absorption of proteins and fats;
• converts tryptophan into niacin;
• has a beneficial effect on diseases of the nervous system and skin lesions;
• relieves nausea;
• reduces cramps;
• has a diuretic effect.

It protects and restores mucosal cells, prevents the formation of aphthae, and treats stomatitis. During periods of illness, the need for pyridoxine increases many times.

Diet for oral candidiasis - the path to a speedy recovery

12.09.2017

Candidiasis is a common pathological process. Its development is influenced by the candida fungus. It affects the mucous membranes. Reduced immunity and disruption of the body's microflora contribute to the spread of the fungus. A diet for oral candidiasis is prescribed in combination with pharmaceutical drugs to restore the microflora for a speedy recovery.

Features of treatment of the disease

This type of fungal infection is most often diagnosed in infants. People call candidiasis thrush. The disease can be recognized by the presence of a whitish, cheesy coating that affects the oral mucosa. In infants, thrush does not always require special treatment, which cannot be said about adults. Their therapy is based on the use of antifungal drugs and a strict diet. Moreover, proper nutrition for oral candidiasis has its own distinctive features from the diet for other types of candidiasis. The peculiarity is that patients must completely eliminate sugar and carbohydrates throughout the entire treatment.

If you combine a diet with prescribed medications, the disease will go away very quickly, as will the unpleasant symptoms.

What to forget

There is a certain list of foods that are contraindicated for oral thrush. Moreover, you can’t eat them not only during the treatment stage. Even after complete recovery, their amount in the diet should be reduced to a minimum. For candidiasis of the mouth and throat, the following foods and drinks are prohibited:

• Sweets. These are candies, honey, chocolate, cakes, baked goods with yeast dough, and various desserts. People with a sweet tooth are most often affected by this disease. Sugary foods can create excellent conditions for yeast to thrive. Because of this, itching, burning, discomfort, and bad breath intensify.
• Sweet soda, drinks prepared using technology and fermentation (beer, wine, kvass). When consumed, the growth and reproduction of pathogenic microflora increases, which is why the symptoms of candidiasis become more pronounced.
• Animal fats. They should be replaced with plant-based ones.
• Bread and rolls. If it is difficult to completely exclude bread from the diet, then its amount should be minimal. An excellent alternative would be diet bread made from yeast-free dough. They are not only very tasty, but also useful for oral candidiasis. After using them, there is no pain, itching, or unpleasant odor.
• Sauces, seasonings, marinades. These products have a negative impact on human health in general, and with a fungal infection they only intensify the symptoms and bad breath.
• Dry and sweet fruits.
• Tea and coffee.
• Mushrooms. These products promote fermentation and also complicate the digestion process. This is fraught with severe cutting pain and disruption of the toilet.
• Cheeses covered with mold. It is advisable to completely eliminate this product from your diet. Sour milk falls into this category.

Allowed Ingredients

Taking into account the prohibited foods listed above, it may seem that the diet for oral candidiasis is too harsh. But such food can be not only healthy and tasty, but most importantly, varied, because there is a fairly wide list of foods allowed for consumption.

When choosing fish or meat, you should give preference to low-fat varieties. As for the side dish, if you are following a diet, you need to eat porridge seasoned with water. It is allowed to diversify the diet with vegetables containing low concentrations of carbohydrates, nuts, seeds, and fruits.

The following foods are allowed to be eaten:

1. Meat. If you have an illness, you can eat chicken, turkey, lamb, and veal. For those who like exotic food, pheasant, ostrich, and deer meat is allowed. But sausages, smoked meats and bacon are products that you will have to forget about for a while.

6. Vegetables. They should contain a minimum amount of carbohydrates. This should include: spinach, cucumbers, cabbage, garlic, onions, peppers, avocados, tomatoes. And although eating vegetables is allowed if you have thrush, it is important not to overdo it, but to eat them in limited quantities.
