Hypermobile with a white tongue coating? This video is for you! 👅 🤍

As you can see, I still have a white tongue, but I’ve been on a protocol for treatment for a few weeks and even though it’s not fully eradicated, I’m feeling major improvements in a lot of symptoms 🫰🏼 thank you to my Integrative GP. Not a single specialist, even the alleged hypermobility informed GI specialist I saw, thought to investigate why I had a chronic white tongue and obvious SIFO symptoms. Treating the infection is one part of healing but you also have to find out why you have it and address that eg taking prokinetics for slow motility, correcting microbiome with prescription probiotics etc, or it will keep coming back. Mine came back twice, both times after I had antibiotics for pneumonia and antibiotics for an infected skin wound.

Disclaimer: I’m not a doctor and this isn’t medical advice. I’m sharing for awareness about something I had never heard of before embarking on this journey of understanding my hypermobile body. Having a white tongue coating isn’t diagnostic of candida on its own. You need to do testing to determine that. However, it can be a sign to investigate further!
