You have to replace the friendly flora (acidophilus, bifidus etc.) by taking live acidophilus supplements, maybe Primal Defense, unsweetened organic Kefir and yogurt. Avoid all citric acid s for a couple weeks (lemon juice, lime, grapefruit). Don't suck on candy of ANY kind. Stop using any toothpaste except for baking soda. Then read up on candida and theh Power of Digestion post in the FAQ along with the Gas/Bloating/Pungent Herbs post and healing crisis, bowel management, livernotes, and do all that rather than just relying on candida killers. you have billions upon billions of candida in you, and they will keep growing so long as your foods are not complete digested and so long as you don't have the other kinds of microbes to keep them in check. use lots of extra-virgin coconut oil in your diet and apply it directly to your mouth and gums.
