White tounge

I've been taking the medication for Lymes for about 2 years. Usually the doctor has me on Doxycycline. I can never seem to get my tounge to be pink. I take acidophilus and everything, but my tounge just always seems to be white. Any advice for getting back the pink tounge?

White tongue is usually a sign of yeast. Has your LLMD given you any anti-yeast medication? There's a natural medicine (botanical) that my wife took for yeast and it cleared it up in a week.

This is what she used http://abc.eznettools.net/jernigannutraceuticals/yeast-ease.html

This was the only product in many years of suffering with yeast issues that finally took care of it.

If you don't care to use natural medicine for this, tell your LLMD what's going on and he/she will prescribe you some Nystatin or Diflucan.

Take tons of probiotics in the morning when you first get up and before you go to bed. Some people open a probiotic capsule and put it in their mouth and brush with tooth brush to get the flora back in your mouth.

Hope these ideas help.

I use a clotrimazole troche once a day, they disolve in your mouth for yeast. You will need a prescription for this. Also brush your teeth and tongue with listerine 3 x a day. Another thing to try is to open up a probiotic capsule and pour it in your mouth, keep it in there as long as you can, hope this helps.
