Brief Answer:
"Thrush" is a sign of infection.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

1. You mention clearly that you have got "thrush" on your tongue.
2. "thrush" is an infection. This is a medical fact.
3. There is a probability that this can be a sign of a larger scope of infections.
4. Infections of the gastrointestinal tract certainly cause diarrhea and stomach
cramps. This is a medical fact.
5. I have answered your question. "Thrush" of the tongue cannot "cause" diarrhea
and stomach cramps. It is an infection, that is a sign of associated infections in
the stomach that can cause these problems your are talking about.

Thanks,
Dr. Neel Kudchadkar
