Sept. 2007 - Surgery for fistula (fistula formed from a fissure caused from constipation)
Nov. 2007 - Strange white coating on tongue (not thrush, no pain)
Nov.2008 - Scalp acne (folliculitis)
Nov. 2009 - Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis
I took a few different meds for the white tongue, but they did nothing. I took 9 months of doxycycline for scalp folliculitis, again did nothing. On my ninth month of doxycycline I developed 5 weeks of diarrhea (I then stopped the doxycyline), in which I went to a GI Dr and had a colonoscopy to find UC .
Currently I still have a white coating on my tongue and pimples/red spots on my scalp and of course UC. My question is.. Could this all be related, or are they just random things going on? Nothing seems to get rid of the white tongue or scalp acne. I have been on the SCD diet for about 4 months now, but still have all this.
Any ideas?
