Thrush/white tongue

[sadfat1962 11]

Hello everyone.. I'm just over 2 mths out, and my tongue still doesnt look "normal"... Treated for thrush a little over a month ago, looks better, but not back to where I was before surgery. Does this eventually get better? And same for ridges on my nails now.. Please tell me this all goes away! Anyone?!! I appreciate your feedback!

I actually just went to an ENT doc today. I was never diagnosed with thrush. What they said my white tongue was is just bacteria. He said your body needs to adjust to the way things are now. I'll be 4 months out Monday and it is a lot better, but still there a bit. I have a tongue brush and found some Oral-B tongue foam cleaner I use every day.

Insofar as the ridges on your nails, are you taking a Biotin supplement? For thrush, I recommend Probiotics, and eliminating any sugar. Also are you taking any antibiotics?

Yes lawd! I was concerned about my tongue bc it had a bad odor, taste, and whiteness. It was ridiculous...Im guessing its just from changes

Have you tried a toungue scraper? I had this problem too after I finished the liquid portion of my diet. I used a toungue scraper each time I brushed my teeth and my toungue was back to normal in a couple of days.

Thanks...I used the tongue scrapper twice and day. It has improved since im on puree foods.
