Oral Thrush
A white, coated tongue is a sign and symptom of what doctors call oral thrush. We have all heard of this as it pertains to newborn babies, but it is not something that seems like older people should have. However, oral thrush in babies, oral thrush in children and oral thrush in adults is now so common that doctors are telling people that the condition of oral thrush in adults is NORMAL! I have heard of people going to the doctor wanting a solution for their oral thrush and the doctor sticks his own tongue out to show the patient how normal it is to have oral thrush.
Candidiasis of the mouth and throat, also known as "oral thrush" or oropharyngeal candidiasis (OPC), is a fungal infection that occurs when there is overgrowth of fungus called Candida Albicans. Candida is normally found on skin or mucous membranes. However, if the environment inside the mouth or throat becomes imbalanced, Candida can multiply. When this happens, symptoms of oral thrush appear. Oral thrush can affect newborn infants, but it can also be found in people with weakened immune systems. People with oral thrush may have painless, white patches in their mouths and throats. Others with oral thrush may experience a great deal of pain. If you have the fungal overgrowth in your esophagus, symptoms may include pain and difficulty in swallowing. It is also possible that you may be able to cough up white curds which are probably part of these patches located in your esophagus. You may also get a lot of canker sores if you have oral thrush as the candida breaks down the tissues in the mouth.

I feel so much better than when I started I'm getting impatient with my white tongue. So far I have seen my migraines reduced, a sinus problem improve, my acne all but disappear, a rash on my back clear up, and I've lost 20 pounds. That and the most dramatic change is how well my stomach feels. I still have my 'oral thrush'. Oh well, the truth be told that's a little better too.
Oral Thrush (a white tongue) is diagnosed by swabbing a sample of the affected tissue and observing it under a microscope. If there is evidence of a candida infection, then a culture will be cultured to confirm the diagnosis. If you do not seek treatment for oral thrush, it is possible that invasive, systemic candidiasis may occur. Systemic Candida may lead to auto-immune syndromes like Chronic Fatigue Snydrome, lupus, and fibromyalgia.
Antifungal medication are usually prescribed for oral thrush; but, overuse of antifungal medications may increase the chance that they will eventually not work (the fungus eventually develops resistance to medications). If you want to know if your oral thrush is caused by candida; try this quick and easy and surprisingly accurate saliva test. There are other seemingly unrelated symptoms that are caused by systemic candida in addition to oral thrush. Check out the list of yeast symptoms.
