Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Stick out your tongues...!

A lot of us have coated tongues, for one reason or another, but it doesn't always mean you have a case of Thrush. Since you are into alt. medicine you may want to take a look at this site that was mentioned here on this board a long while back.

Scroll down and click on what you think applies from the list on the left side. Almost every item there shows a tongue with a different coating. Whether this is actually relevant or not, I suppose, is an individual choice as to whether you believe it or not. (In some ways I'm still not sure who to believe. )

Before I was positively diagnosed with IBS a doc was convinced I must have a candida overgrowth of the intestines and so put me on Nystatin. Big mistake and it made me sicker than a dog. Unless you have a reliable lab to do a comprehensive stool sample test I understand a case of candida of the intestines is impossible to diagnose, plus a case of thrush doesn't ALWAYS mean it has hit your intestines. This is about all I know about it��which really isn't much, except for my own experiences.
