I don't know when It happened however it was before I started taking anything for lyme .I noticed my tongue has an off white/yellowish tinge in the center and more obvious toward the back. No idea what it is from(lyme or co infections) .Is there anything I could do to see if it can be cleared up.

I think it was Dr J who I heard once describe it as toxic build up of some form.

The more common explanation is yeast.

I think it is a general sign of poor health in traditional Chinese medicine.

I brush my tounge routinely after my teeth, and when I'm really thorough with that, it will clear up for a day, but it always comes back.

Edit: bluelyme, I will try the baking soda and probiotic method. Thanks for sharing

Thanks , I am going to try the salt water gargle .I only had it since I got sick.I take the probiotics in a capsule at night now but I assume if I take it without the capsule it would get the affected area.This is all new to me .I just started my meds 3 weeks ago and don't even know what an antimicrobial is.
