yellow tongue

Anyone else get a yellow tongue when you're in ketosis?  I was on the old Atkins diet when I was 18, and I had this yellow coating on my tongue all the time.  No yellow tongue for years and then recently I noticed it again.  Weird, but I don't need to use ketostrips - I have my own built in one!  LOL

 I know that I did experience this for a time.    I bought a tongue scraper and scraped if off my tongue.   I did this for a while and it eventually went away and has never returned.

 Never heard of this one before!  Candidiasis maybe?  ID see a medical professional!

I've only had it when I've been eating very low carb.  When I had it at 18, I tested out that I was in ketosis.  When I stopped the diet and was eating lots of carbs again, it went away.  I should check with the doc though.

Could be thrush (yeast infection in mouth), I would check with your doctor. I had it for a good three weeks after surgery. It was brought on by all the antibiotics they give you in the hospital. They usually give you one oral med to swallow, then a med to swish in your mouth 4 times a day. Tongue scrapper did help for me a bit during the duration.

I wondered  if it might be thrush, but from what I've read online thrush causes sores and can bleed easily when scraped. This doesn't hurt at all, it's just a funky coating.

I have it, too. I've had it before, but I have had a significant case of whatever it is since surgery. Scraping the tounge helps.

Ok so I'm not alone! I was stating to think it was my imagination! My tongue is also a bright yellow! It's the strangest thing
