Granted, I am only a newbie, however I do believe that the Atkins book does talk about possibilities of women developing yeast infections. If this is true, that is caused by a depletion or imbalance of the different bacteria in the human body. If it can occur in the genital tract, that can also occur in the mouth and throat. The mouth is suseptible to bacteria imbalance from change in diet or even medications leaving bacteria that are left to be unchecked and then they flourish in this rich environment. You may want to refer to your book to see what is suggested for this.
I may be way off here, but being in healthcare, I do see patients that this occurs in. At least check into it a little deeper, it may be something you can adjust with your diets or vitamin/mineral intake. Good luck.
