Please someone! White tongue and fibro
I was diagnosed with fibro! I also have a white tongue and its not oral thrush. Can this be caused by fibro? Anyone has it?
Hey xicaxica85,
De nada!
Nice, I would like to visit Portugal someday. I have Portuguese friends
here in Canada and I heard so many good things about Portugal.
After Oil Pulling you must spit out all the coconut oil which has pulled toxins and bacteria from your gums, teeth, tongue and the entire oral cavity.
Make sure you rinse afterwards very well!
Yes, if you weigh around 50 Kg then 4T is fine, if much heavier then try 5T daily.
The single dose Fluconazole is fine to take.
You're on the right path for impovement :)
Ciao

Fluconazole is one pill just once. So should I take it?
Ok, I will forgo the Nystatin for now and try the oil.
The first Oil Pulling in the morning, I shouldn't swallow it should I?
Yes!! I am already taking these multi billion dophilus and they are great, since I'm taking them my diarrhea improved near to zero :)
Ok, so basically in the first two weeks I take two tablespoons daily and by week four I will be taking 4 tablespoons daily, right? (lol) can I just put it in mouth and swallow directly?
I am from Portugal :) do you know?
Thank you so so much!

Hi xicaxica85
T--> Tablespoon. 1T=15ml
Fluconazole, is it one pill just once or per week? It is low enough, so there should be no concerns for adverse effects
Nystatin is usually well tolerated and dose is within guidelines, however coconut oil will do the same job or better.
Taking coconut oil at the same time is fine, as long as you start with 1-2T
and increase gradually.
You may forgo the Nystatin if you have to repeat your prescription.
In the morning, first Oil Pulling 15-20 minutes, rinse very well.
Have breakfast, avoid sweet foods, sugars, starchy foods. Some fruit is OK.
Brush teeth after breakfast.
And yes you can cook with it instead of olive oil-if this is what you were using. Coconut oil does not alter with heat, when used in cooking.
Olive oil when heated, even if it is a great oil with excellent anti-oxidant qualities will alter chemically (not as much as other oils), but still enough to produce some free radicals which lead to oxidation and inflammation,
when heated, not stored properly, not fresh etc.
I would also suggest good quality probiotics, the ones which need refrigeration, multi-strain with tens of billions count, yes tens of billions
of healthy bacteria, not a typo, lol!
Where are you from?
Ciao,
Niko
For me to say this is BIG, since I grew up in Crete, where olive oil rules!
Use olive oil fresh, for drizzling over greens and salads.

Hello sweet TheLight. Thank you so much :)
Actually I already suspected these options. I have taken Flagyl to my parasite which the doctor told me is not indicated but the only medicine we have here for parasites. 'Cause they are not so common here in Europe, at least the one I have/had. So this makes me conclude that I probably still have it - yes I know it is very common that tests don't detect them - and because of the antibiotic probably got some candida too and food intolerance maybe.
What I think - but these are just my feelings don't know if they are right - is that if I take these pills for candida, probably I'm going to weaken even more my intestine and system in general.
I have been doing the Oil Pulling, every morning when I wake up for 20 minutes and actually feel that my mouth is better. Should I brush my teeth immediately or can I take breakfast?
Sorry I don't really understand what you mean by 1-2T, 1T, 4-5T. I suppose it's about the amount but don't know what's the T. (lol)
Haven't already introduced in consuming but will do. I can mix it with any food?
The syrup is Nystatin, 100000 U.I/ml, 30ml - 3 times a day and
The pill Fluconazole, 150 mg - just one pill, one time.
Big hug,

Hey xicaxica85, your name sounds so nice!
Well, first you could try the saliva test a few times perhaps, to find out if there's a pattern and also remember to do this first thing in the morning- have a glass of water ready by your night table.
Did you try the Oil Pulling, using Coconut Oil?
This would help, but also consuming coconut oil, being a comprehensive medicinal food,with anti-parasitic, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties, should help your body fight-off these nasty offenders.
As I mentioned before start slow at 1-2T daily week 1, increase by 1T for week 2 and by week 4 you should be taking 4-5T daily, however, if you're a
larger person, add 1-2T extra daily for a therapeutic dose.
If you tell me what syrup and pill he prescribed, I'd be glad to give you an opinion. Please let me know what they are including dosing and frequency.
There are a couple possible loose ends.
-One, you don't know if you have a food sensitivity.
Two, the suspected candida could be in an inactive phase (infections are never static)
-Three, the parasitic infection, could still be there, just not detected at the time of testing. Tests are not always 100% able to detect them.
-Four, often it takes time to eradicate candida, parasitic infections, food sensitivities (after elimination) or to correct other imbalances.
Make sure you're always well hydrated- drink plenty of spring water 1H away from meals.
I hope this helps and ..you are very welcome!
Best wishes.

Hello TheLight :)
Already done the saliva test which was negative. Went to the Dr. and he told me that I have no sign of candida in mouth or oral thrush. He thinks this is halitosis and may be caused by some imbalance, of candida maybe.
So he prescribed me some medications. One syrup and one pill.
Do you think I should take them or do you suggest anything else?
This white tongue is really bothering me and sometimes I feel my tongue very dry.
Thank you :)

Halitosis is a symptom, not a disease, however, this is the typical look of a white tongue
I don't know for sure what's causing it, but for starters do the saliva test which is fast and easy. Best time is first thing in the morning when you wake up.
You will see the results within minutes.
Ciao.

Try an elimination diet, starting with gluten/wheat elimination, which is the
most common offensive group. This one takes the longest, so you must
endure this for a a few weeks.
The second most offensive is dairy, which should be also 2nd in order of elimination.
You may also try Dr. Cocoa's Pulse test-free download- it requires one week of pulse taking at various times and recording of every food ingested.
It will indicate any allergies/intolerance and sensitivities including hidden or delayed.
You may also self-test for candida: Google--> Saliva Test for Candida.
It is not diagnostic, but highly indicative.
Keep me posted.
Wishing you well.

Thank you so much one more time.
Since you have so much experience I would like to ask you one more advice.
I have been suffering of soft diarrhea for 8 months now. Went to the dr and it was diagnosed a parasitic. So I have done antibiotic and the tests now came negative but im still suffering with symptoms. The dr says i have irritable bowel syndrome but i dont think so. Along i have been with the white tongue and have alergic symptoms ( sneezing, itching). I also have cronic tonsilitis and drs want to remove my tonsils.
I am now taking acidophilus and feel much better but still have crises of diarrhea and feel bad.
Any advice?

Check your toothbrush, most of them have it on the flip side for tongue brushing, but if not, any pharmacy or supermarket would sell it.
Coconut oil, most supermarkets carry it, but for better quality perhaps a health food store is where you'll find it.
Ingesting coconut oil, added or in cooking,will also help with internal issues.
Aim for 4T daily for maintenance and 6T daily for therapeutic purposes, but please start with 1-2T daily to avoid die off effects.
It has medicinal qualities like anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, anti-viral and anti-microbial
It could be fungal or bacterial origin.
And you're welcome, glad to be of help.

Thank you so much TheLight!!!!!!! Finally some hope. Where do you think I can buy them? Pharmarcy and supermarket?
And what may be the cause? I dont think its thrush.
Thank you so much for your kindness:)

Hi xicaxixa85.
You can do "Oil Pulling" using 1t virgin organic coconut oil every morning before breakfast, and swishing vigorously
(just like when you use mouthwash)
for 15-20 minutes and then spitting it out and rinsing your mouth real well.
This will eliminate each time billions (not a typo,lol!) of bacteria and toxic molecules which occupy your oral cavity (it's an ideal environment-moist and warm!) Your teeth, tongue, gums will thank you for this!
I have been doing this for years. Not only my oral and dental health is close to ideal (my dentist swears I'm... cheating on him every time I go see him)
but I have eliminated most of the annoying low grade infections I used to get once in while!
The other thing that will help you is to brush your tongue with a paste made of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide food grade 3% and a few drops of tea tree oil, using the flip side of a tooth brush made for this purpose.
Go side to side starting from the back and do it every time you brush your teeth. It only takes a minute. You should experience results very fast.
It's hard to attribute this to fibro-but you must understand that fibromyalgia is a syndrome which by definition does not cause anything.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes.
