IIRC, it's been postulated that the bad bacteria thrive on sugar but, thankfully, they start dying off pretty quickly when starved of it.

It was suggested to have a very low carb dinner and then don't do any snacking. Either fast or go zero/very low carb most of the next day and then ingest some healthy bacteria (there are several really good probiotic products out there). Trying that several times a month might do the trick.

So the thinking goes.
