coating on tongue

Do a Google image search on candida + tongue. Be forewarned- some are pretty gross. Do any of the images look familiar?

It may just be casual bacterial growth. You can brush your tongue when you brush your teeth. If you cut down on carbohydrates, you will get less growth in your mouth, and it'll benefit your Crohn's, too.

thanks for the information....i have a call into my doctor.....this is the first time this has ever happened to me...I will let you know what he says...

I am on it but I just started it on Monday and this white coating was on my tongue last week...I was just thinking it was something I had eaten...the flagyl will probably make it worse...I do have an appointmen to go into the doctor on Friday....thanks!!

I just recently went through trhush after hospitilation and all the meds they had me on. I wrote on the threads and got some great tips. The one that worked within 2 days was tea tree oil. I got it at a health food store and it can be used for lots of other things as well. You might want to look back a couple of pages on the forum under thrush after hospitalization for some more homeopathic cures for thrush if that's what the dr says it is. Hope you get some answers!
