Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 My son has been having antibiotic injections for recurrent sore throats. One we know was staph and the others we believe were strep because he had a strep rash. After his last injection, he had a white tongue as you describe. I assumed it was thrush (yeast overgrowth) because of the antibiotics. I increased his Yeast-Aid (Kirkman's). Something like Candex should work too. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'd say the white coating is due to yeast and I suppose it is a die-off effect due to one of the changes you made recently. Hard to know which one without dropping them all and adding back one at a time. If you are having other symptoms that suggest die-off (fatigue, flu-like, etc), I would definitely back off on the changes and introduce them more slowly. If you aren't having other symptoms, I guess it is a judgment call. You could try letting some coconut oil melt in your mouth. My husband does this when his tongue gets coated and it helps. -- > > Hello, > > I am wondering if somebody could help me to find an answer to the > following.. for the last 3 days, when I wake up in the morning I find > an unusual white coat on my tongue (like when one is sick > sometimes..) and I am wondering what is it due to.. > > 1- is it due to the Zapper I started using 4 days ago (Ken Presner > ULtimate Zapper)?
