Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Posted September 22, 2006 thrush will appear like something white on tongue or side of cheeks. Yes, thrush can cause spitting. If its thrush, there is this purple stuff that works really well. My boy only recently all but stopped his spitting. We tried everything to stop it. We still don't know what caused it. We think it was a viral issue. As low-functioning as the boy might be, each time he does it -- stop him, hold him and say no. Give him a 10 minute timeout. Stop the spit both biomedically -- thrush, viral etc and behaviorally. My sympathies with the parents -- we suffered so much when my boy was doing this.

I want to tell her it could be yeast/thrush and that's why he's spitting. She doesn't do any biomedical, diet or anything like that and I want to help her and her son. She said the therapist thinks it's behavioral but the behavioral plans have not worked. That's why I'm thinking is medical not behavorial. Does yeast/thrush cause spitting, if so, please send me information or a link that states that so I can show proof to this Mom. Thank you.
