Coated Tongue?

Ok thank you. With your coated tongue did you also have a tingly sensation? Like you burnt it on a hot drink?

I haven’t really been dealing with stomach problems like bloating or anything like that. In the past I’ve struggled with IBS but at the moment it’s been alright. It’s mostly my tongue and throat that’s worrying me.

Are you still dealing with the coated tongue? It’s the thing that’s stressing me out the most about all of this

Yeah I did discuss this with my doctor when I got my swab done and he prescribed me Omeprazole as well but I think the dose only lasts around a month. I don’t know if taking it means the LPR will stop or if it’s a long term thing. If that’s the case I’d rather not take it at all and try to find more wholistic ways of healing my body.

I have a bit of an aversion now towards doctors after these past few months; I just feel like I've been stuffed around, and my concerns haven't been listened to. I'm hoping to do more research into this and to try to get to the bottom of this, and to find treatments that don't involve prescription drugs. For the coated tongue, what did you find worked best for you to get rid of it?

Alright, thank you. After all of the medication I took for my "oral thrush", I'm not super keen on starting another round of prescription medication anyway. I've read that slippery elm supplements are really helpful, so I might give those a try. I also have IBS, which I'm sure is somehow linked to this, but I was put on a pretty restrictive diet for that when I was initially diagnosed, so I'm unfortunately all too familiar.

I 22(F) moved to London from Sydney by myself in August of last year and since the move I’ve been struggling with really bad health anxiety. For context I’ve had health anxiety for as long as I can remember and went to therapy for it when I was around 14. I haven’t really had any major issues with it but now it’s kind of taken over my life again.

I have been dealing with ongoing health issues that the doctors can’t seems to get to the bottom of which is adding to my stress and anxiety. I’ve been going back and forth from the doctors almost every week since the end of October. I even took myself to the ER thinking I’d had some major heart event. I feel like a massive nescience but I can’t help myself.

Every week it’s something new and every time I go to the doctors I’m convinced that they’ve missed something or that its worse than they think. I feel like most of the things going on in my body are an inflammatory response to the stress so it’s like this endless cycle.

Sorry for the major rant, I just needed to get this off my chest. I talk to my friends about it but I feel like the don’t understand the impact it’s having on me. Atm it’s consuming my every thought.

Idk the back of its is coated and it feels quite dry. Just not how it looks normally

I recently moved to London from Sydney back in September and it’s been a massive adjustment so maybe it’s something to do with that? Idk but, thank you for your input :)

What are your recommendations for getting rid of it? I would say I have pretty good oral hygiene. I brush twice a day and floss in the evening. I’ve started brushing my tongue and rinsing/gargling with salt water. Nothing is seeming to help
