White Coating
On Tongue
Question : I
have been
suffering from
several health
problems for
many
years. There's a
white coating
under my tongue.
I also have
joint pains,
digestive
disorders and
problems
urinating. I
have seen many
doctors but
after taking
medication, my
problems seem to
worsen.
Answer : Some of
these symptoms may
be due to a
yeast infection.
The common
culprit here is
Candida albicans.
Yeast is present
in everyone's
gastrointestinal
tract. However,
when there's
Candida
overgrowth, it
may cause
problems such as
oral thrush
(white coating
under the
tongue),
bloating,
indigestion,
lethargy, rectal
itching, yeast
infection of the
skin and
frequent bladder
infections.
Avoid foods that
may promote
Candida growth
such as refined
carbohydrates,
including sugar
and white flour
products as
Candida thrives
in a high sugar
state. Honey,
maple syrup,
foods with a
high yeast or
mould content
such as
alcoholic
beverages,
cheeses, dried
fruit and
peanuts, milk
and milk
products can
also encourage
an overgrowth.
Take wholesome
and
well-balanced
meals. Eighty
per cent of the
diet should
comprise
alkaline-forming
foods (fresh
fruits and
vegetables).
Fermented dairy
products such as
yoghurt are also
beneficial.
Oral Thrush or
White Tongue can
be treated with
Total Immune
booster.
Probiotics can
boost the
friendly
bacteria
population in
the gas-
trointestinal
tract that
causes the
overgrowth of
Candida fungus
and alleviate
symptoms related
to this
infection.
Omega-3 and
omega-6
essential fatty
acids can also
help to bring
down
inflammation.
You can opt for
a combi- nation
of evening
primrose oil and
fish oil in
capsule form.
Vitamin C and
zinc will help
strengthen the
immune system to
cope with other
infections
during the
Candida
infestation.
Other
significant
nutrients
indicated in
chronic
Candidiasis
include vitamin
A, the B group
vitamins, folic
acid, selenium
and iron.
Try applying
diluted 100 per
cent Tea Tree
oil or creams
containing Tea
Tree oil as it
has anti-fungal
properties for
faster healing.
Exercise
regularly and
keep a proper
diet. Try to
identify known
or suspected
allergens and
take steps to
avoid them.
Allergies can
weaken the
immune system.
The use of
antibiotics,
steroids,
immune-suppressing
drugs and birth
control pills
can also
suppress the
body's defenses.
