does anyone know if a yeast infection can be cured by……….??

But no, not eating certain foods won't cure you, you have to get treatment to get cured. You have my sympathy because I know you must be miserable!

You can get candida infection in the mouth if you were on broad spectrum antibiotics,or if you use dentures,if you have diabetes or Aids or if you are on long term corticosteroids including inhalers for asthma.Just staying away from sweets is not going to cure it,but you will have to try some medication like nystatin suspension[gargle]os some amphotericin lozenges.And most importantly find out why you got it in the first place.A little sweets should be ok if you have cravings,unless you have very high blood glucose.Make sure you seek medical advice from a doctor.
