Is yellow coming off your tongue always mean Candida? It looks white but yellow when I scrape it off. Nasty looking.

Yes, if you can scrape it off, thats yeast. Been there done that.

I bet it’s Candida. Anyone else have any tips on how to treat it?

I would guess I need to treat Candida too. A few months ago, blood test for it came back high but doctor didn't mention it. I believe it is causing, in part, some of my symptoms. I have a bad reaction to Nystatin but can tolerate Diflucan, but in lower dose because of kidneys.

Guess the holiday temptations don't help with food, either.

"blood test for it came back high but doctor didn't mention it." - there you go.

My past candida always trys to comeback this time of year. Its an interesting pattern. Even when i stay away from the holiday foods.

I wrote a post on possible low light= lower immune last week. Thankfully the days already started to get longer sunlight starting yesterday. Im doing anti-cadida ticture this week keeping it at bay. Even need to limit gluten free bread with candida and or sibo (experienced with both...what a joy). My tested food plan is more limited than just paleo. .....oh well....I just remind myself of what tasty food does to me and then im no longer hungry for it.

I used vsl3 also for a few years. good probiotic, should be for the price.

Apple cider vinegar helps because it hits all the yeast in your mouth and throat

Thanks for all the great information, as usual, astroman.

And Aerose, I didn't think about Apple cider vinegar. Thanks fort that.

I have noticed when I eat sugar, anxiety goes up next day. Yesterday, I gave in, which I usually don't, after my neighbors brought over some homemade treats. I usually get a migraine from that but didn't. However, anxiety is way up this morning.

Also, I noticed tongue is noticeably yellow where it was white looking before. Cleaned and scraped it. It's nasty to see it.

I was diagnosed with candida by three doctors but after not responding to a month of anti-fungals a fourth doc said it was really something called "hairy leukoplakia". They look very similar. Just one of the many joys I've encountered in the past few months: hairy tongue. It looks a lot like candida and it can look yellow, but it can't be scraped off. It's a response to a weak immune system and should clear up on it's own when your immune system gets stronger, HIV patients get it. Just throwing this out there, because I spent weeks taking nystatin and diflucan, which was miserable as I was herxing - and I didn't even have candida. It's almost completely cleared up at this point.

Oil pulling with coconut oil should help the coated tongue, but Candida will need to be treated internally as well.

Are blood tests for candida helpful at all? I only know of a version that looks for antibodies...

It was in an allergen profile for mold done in April. I didn't realize that until I looked back at test now. The score was just a bit positive in an IgE panel. Your question is a good one. potsnpoans.

WBF - So how do I know or can any of us know if there is a true Candida albicans problem? Is there a definitive test? Yellow on tongue when you scrape it can be caused by a number of things, according to what I've read.

Panda Fox - so are you having any improvement? Thanks for that information as it helps because it shows whatever I'm dealing with can be scraped off with a spoon.
