Question

Answer 1

Hi,

It's unlikely to be Oral Thrush.....it's a lot more uncommon than people on here seem to think. We only generally see it in people with other illnesses or that are VERY run down.

The most likely culprit is smoking, Nicotine causes a yellow furry coating on the tongue, you don't mention if you smoke. If you do try to give up as it's not just a stained tongue you need to worry about, smoking is REALLY damaging to your gums, and makes you much more prone to lose your teeth through gum disease.

Try either a tongue scraper from a Dentist or the Chemist, or brushing your tongue in long strokes from back to front with a toothbrush. Preferably with a bicarbonate of soda toothpaste.

A mouthwash with Hydrogen Peroxide like Peroxyl can help too.

Hope this helps !

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/ZA9Ml

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 4

Oral thrush is a disorder caused by infection of the mouth with the fungus (yeast) Candida albicans.

The mouth normally contains many microorganisms. One of these normal microorganisms is the fungus Candida albicans, which is the same fungus associated with vaginal yeast infections or other Candida infections. The growth of Candida is normally kept under control by the presence of normal bacteria.

Uncontrolled overgrowth of Candida in the mouth may be caused by factors that reduce the natural resistance, such as illness, stress, long-term use of corticosteroids or medications that suppress the immune system, and immune disorders such as (AIDS).

It may also be caused by conditions that upset the balance of normal microorganisms in the mouth. This is most commonly associated with use of antibiotics, but it may also occur with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and with the hormonal changes associated with pregnancy or the use of birth control pills.

Oral thrush is most common in infants and toddlers, in the elderly, and in people who are debilitated or whose immune system has been suppressed by disease or medical treatments.

In adolescents, young adults, and middle age adults, an oral Candida infection should always be viewed as a possible symptom of an underlying medical problem, such as diabetes or HIV infection, and should be evaluated.


You may be eating way too much sugar, white flour, milk products, white rice type of food!

Your immune system might be low as well. Check out getting some Acidophulus (the good bacteria in your system)
