Arts137 1,811 Posted May 16, 2013 Thrush would mean a VERY compromised immune system, so I'm voting with the MD. Can you see a medical professional? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ninanew 22 Posted May 16, 2013 I read somewhere that a symptom of serious dehydration is white on the tongue. Maybe that is the issue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBT 35 Posted May 16, 2013 Yes! I had this problem after surgery and it went away on its own after a couple of weeks. I've seen a lot of other people post the same issue over the last year. I wonder why your Dr isn't aware of this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tessies 224 Posted May 16, 2013 I had thrush after surgery my bariatric doc said it was from the antibiotic and having 85% of my stomach removed compromised my immune system. He gave me a mouthwash and I started eating Greek yogurt to rebalance my stomachs PH, yes it is true it generally happens with a compromised or weak immune system but being on that antibiotic and the stomach removal my system was pretty compromised.

tessies 224 Posted May 16, 2013 And I had a bad taste with a white film on my tongue, before I went and saw my bariatric doc I thought it was dehydration but all my labs were perfect and I looked great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

naturally_bad77 26 Posted May 16, 2013 Yes same thing happen to me and I got a yeast infection as well. I hate yogurt so I just try to drink a lot of Water and I put vinegar in my bath water (natural way to cure yeast infection) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tessies 224 Posted May 16, 2013 Go to your pcp or if you can't I would go to an urgent care or quick care. You need diflucan if you have a yeast infection. If its thrush they give you some crappy mouthwash that doesn't work. Can you eat yogurt yet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
