i have a white tongue.  it seems to me this isn't normal.  what can be the cause.

It can simply be a sign of having eaten dairy, or not drinking enough water. Get a tongue scraper, you can scrape it off.

A white coating on the tongue is a sign of Candida overgrowth or Yeast. Stay away from all sugars and products with yeast in them and get to the Health food store and buy Nature's Sunshine Products Candida Clear.

Oh, and I drink Chlorophyll - the stuff works wonders!  I'll be taking it for the rest of my life now!!!

I agree with lid44.  I have thrush right now as a result of a weakened immune system due to chronic pancreatitis and my doctor gave me medication to take for 10 days - Diflucan.  It's still there but getting better every day.  

You should think of changing your diet away from refined sugars and fatty foods for awhile.  I'm eating sweet potatos, peas, carrots, apples, low-fat yogurt and some soy protein drinks to get the protein the body needs.  

Good luck!

This sounds like thrush, a yeast infection characterized by a white tongue.  It can be treated with prescription medications from a doctor.  Also, theoretically, taking L. Acidophilus supplements or eating yogurt containing L. Acidophilus can help prevent thrush and chronic yeast infections.  Eating lots of sugary things can exacerbate the condition.

I have a yeast infection on my,I have taken meds for,but can't seen to get rid of it. I had 3 atacks of pain upper right side. I waited 9weeks to go to Dr. I didn't have INSURENCE. They said I had mild gastritis. Never mind the pain. I seem to be having a lot of little infection.Whent to the dentist 5days ago and got an abcess were I got the shot. These things have got to be related!
