My rheumy thought sjogrens although I don't have any of the lack of saliva/dry eyes symptoms.
I drink plenty but always my tongue looks like this, red splotches with a white coating. Again...just feels like my body does not actually absorb what I take in (other than storing as fat in all the wrong places).
Anyone else? Is this associated with Lyme or a co infection?
Thanks

I hate to disagree with yeast idea but I disagree. You tongue is your stomach, so if your tongue is sickly looking and not healthy pink then so it you stomach and GI track.
I have/had tongue issues for years. My tongue varies from pink to yellow/white thick nasty stuff, tongue split right down the middle crevis looking, teeth indentions on both sides of tongue.
When I was on abx I did probiotic, detoxing etc for yeast. I've used my rife machine since those days and no reaction to yeast.
I do know in '05 after known embedded lone star tick my mouth/tongues issues got worse. I do have very dry mouth and eyes.
When I'm doing some heavy duty detox programs my tongue will have days where it's healthy. I also know that when I cleaned up the tons and tons of metals in my teeth, my tongue looked happier.
But it still is issue for me. I believe it's the bacteria that resides in my GI tract and until I destroy him.
You never know someday I might find out Lymetoo and her "yeast" therory is correct.

DIET, DIET, DIET is the key. Then, be sure to follow the 5 step plan outlined below. It was developed by my naturopath. It works.
"Successful control and elminiation of a Candida Albicans overgrowth requires a multifaceted program as described below. Failure to follow ALL the steps simultaneously will result in slow progress and will lengthen healing time significantly. The program should be tailored to the individual and must balance the need to eliminate the Candida and deprive it of its food source while insuring proper nutrition for the individual."
Five Steps to Candida Elimination:
1. You must starve it into submission by eliminating its food source.
2. You must kill it with anti-fungal herbs and supplements. [e.g....garlic, onion, caprylic acid, Pau D'Arco capsules or tea, clove, grapefruit seed extract, olive leaf extract, oil of oregano, tea tree oil, Echinacea, Goldenseal, black walnut, MSM, barberry root, uva ursi, neem leaf, biotin]
3. You must reestablish the proper balance and quantity of probiotic bacteria in the digestive tract. [...multi-strain lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus capsules with FOS should be taken between meals to maximize repopulation of the digestive tract by beneficial bacteria.]
4. You must reestablish proper levels of all B vitamins (yeast free) and utilize other immune enhancing supplements to boost immune system function. [e.g ... B complex vitamins (yeast free), biotin, beta 1-3 glucan, colostrum, maitake mushroom, vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium]
5. You must cleanse and heal the digestive tract to promote proper elimination of toxins and Candida and assimilation of nutrients. [e.g...chlorophyll, MSM, omega 3 fatty acids found in flax seed and salmon oils, GLA found in borage, evening primrose and black currant oils. Pantothenic acid, digestive enzymes between meals]

Do you know how many times I read "your" anti-yeast diet plan? lol
Okay, one more time and maybe it will persuade me to think about yeast?????
