Can thrush cause weight loss?

Yes beta, thrush in the mouth makes eating very painful, so naturally a person eats less and loses weight. You can try rinsing with warm salt water or drinking thin buttermilk, but please see a doctor to get the proper medicine.

Honestly, between my baby keeping me awake all night and dealing with a sore throat from thrush, I can barely look at food. No wonder the weight is dropping! It's a terrible way to lose weight though, do not recommend at all.

Oh, definitely! When your mouth is sore, eating becomes such a chore, so the weight can slide down quickly. 🙈 Just make sure to stay hydrated and get some proper antifungals from your doc so you can enjoy your food again!

At my age, losing weight usually requires a miracle, but a bad case of oral thrush will definitely do the trick since you can't swallow anything spicy! But seriously, losing weight due to an illness isn't healthy, go get it treated.

Our bodies sometimes go through these imbalances when our immunity is low, leading to weight loss. Keep your mind calm, eat simple soft foods, and trust that with the right medical care and positive thoughts, you will heal soon.

I lost quite a bit of weight when I had thrush because eating was so painful and I felt so weak and miserable. It was emotionally exhausting to deal with the pain every single day. I really feel for you, please hang in there and get medical help.
