Orange tongue

[Delyce]

I've had a cough and a lot of phlem for about 2 weeks.  The couging has subsided, but there's still phelm in my throat. Yesterday I noticed that my tongue was coated in an yellowy/orange color!!  I scraped it, and brushed it, but to no avail.  Is this a common ailment?  Anybody???  Thanks.

I have an orange coated tongue and a regular upset stomach (under my ribs part of stomach).  Turns out I tested positive for H.pylori bacteria in my stomach, which also give this tongue coating.  I'm being prescribed 2 antibiotics and prescription antacid.  If you have similar symptoms, I suggest seeing your doc and asking about this bacteria.  It can have nasty results if left untreated.

I'm 22 with no allergy's and rarely take medication. I have had some major dental work in the past but nothing recently.
Just a couple days ago my girlfriend noticed I have OT in the evenings... we moved into a new house two weeks ago. Along with that I have had some pretty dramatic, but beneficial changes in my diet I.E. xtra fruits and veggies. Also I just started an exercise regimen, one mile every day plus a little lifting.... And to top it off Oral Sex with my partner has been more prevalent. So many changes for me in the last three weeks i'm stumped it could be anything

its all the same thing
an Imbalanced Body
your adrenals can not metabolize the starch/ sugars fast enough
your kidneys are not filtering the acidic lymphatic waste fast enough
and you are systemically backed up with toxic acids
you must do some cleanses and lay off the processed starch and sugars

also, even if you've not taken antibiotics in years
if your eating conventional meat and dairy
you are consuming what they are fed
grains
corn
soy
antibiotics
hormones
hope this helps.....(:

I really think you're on to something here. I agree that the OT maybe a symptom of a few different things. We don't all have the same symptoms except the OT. In my case it didn't show up after antibiotic use and I was already taking an acid blocker which had my GERD under control. My symptoms of OT started after a trip to our state fair and sudden flu symptoms. A few days later OT showed up. Got treated with antibiotic shots, OT and flu symptoms went away. Two weeks later everything came back but worse. And it's been on going since last November. Once I stop the antibiotics a week after I'm ill with bronchitis, pleurisy, and/or pneumonia plus severe OT. I've tried all the over the counter home remedies, the doctors "magic mouth wash", all the antifungals but the only thing that seems to work short term is antibiotics. The docs won't do long term antibiotic treatments. I've seen primary care doc twice a month since November, dentist twice, ENT 3xs, infectious disease specialist ... And none of them have a clue. So I finally scheduled my own appointment with a GI doc. He believes it's some form of bacterial infection NOT thrush. I had an EGD Monday with h. Pylori biopsies and he's ordered a breath test kit with blood work. The GI doc is the ONLY one to seem to want to fix this problem. If it is a bacterial infection left untreated it can turn into cancer. There are 4 of us in my family circle that has this so it is contagious.
