Odd symtoms

[kitty094]

So I'm a healthy,20 yr old woman who has been suffering with issues with my mouth since last year when I got ill. I was run down and caught some virus and was also diagnosed with Thrush. I Got given anti-fungal medicine which didn't help and I was also given antibiotics at the same time. I pretty much tried everything to help myself. I don't have a constant white coating on my tongue but sometimes I do when I wake up or have certain foods.. I went back to the doctors twice and they have now told me they'll treat me with all different medicines until something works. They gave me a spray for my nose as I was suffering with phlegm in my throat, it helped a bit but not much and if I do have thrush it makes it worse. I then thought as they said it could be acid reflux I would try some pills for it. The burning sensation on my tongue is barely there anymore and my tongue seems to be looking healthy. I've been suffering with a burning tongue, phlegm in my throat and a coating on my tongue. can anyone else relate to what I've been experiencing and do you think it could be GERD that I have? I also sometimes have this horrible taste on my tongue which comes and goes. I've had blood tests also and nothing came up in them. The doctor just seems to not care so any help would be appreciated. Also it only seemed to flare up when I got run down again and had stress with uni exams. I was also diagnosed with IBS. when I seem to be under stress or have certain foods I bloat, get gas and this would sometimes effect my tongue whilst having these other symptoms

Thanks

Thanks for your answer, I am going to try and take HCL. if I were to have H. pylori what could be the reasons for me having it?

My mother suffered severe GERD, severe LPR and severe systematic fungal infections. The cause was due to low stomach acid. I took her off the nexium and put her on to betaine HCL with pepsin supplements and digestive enzyme supplements. All conditions are gone. :)

Excerpt from Gallbladder Attack - Low Stomach Acid...

"Too much stomach acid? Really? I mean, how is it that millions of people on PPIs are making too much HCl? Hyperchlorhydria or too much stomach acid is rather rare. If you're overeating, eating junk food or other food that is hard to digest, eating when stressed, living under stress, changes are much greater that you don't make enough hydrochloric acid or digestive enzymes and your symptoms stem from that. Take a look at some of the symptoms caused by low stomach acid.


Signs of Deficient Stomach Acid

Gas, bloating and burping shortly after a meal could be lack of HCl
Constipation
Diarrhea
Feeling of fullness or food not digesting
Heartburn and/or gastric relfux (sometimes too much HCl but most often not enough)
Bad breath
Foul smelling stools
Loose stools in the early morning
Food allergies
Dilated blood vessels on the cheeks and nose - Rosacea
Pernicious anemia or iron deficiency
Anal Itching
Nausea especially after taking vitamins and minerals
Weak or cracked nails
Parasites - or at least increased susceptibility to parasitic infections
Chronic yeast infections
Acne in adults - especially if you have other symptoms from the list
Asthma
Since low levels of stomach acid results in poor absorption of nutrients, many symptoms that accompany a deficiency of that vitamin or mineral makes this list much longer. The nutrients most affected are calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamin K and many B vitamins. See pernicious anemia.

If you're nervous about trying supplemental hydrochloric acid, you can do a trial with 1-2 TBSP of organic apple cider vinegar mixed with 1/8 to 1/4 cup of water after a meal. If it makes you feel better and does not hurt, you most likely would benefit from taking 500 - 1000 mg. of Betaine HCl with your meals.

H. Pylori Symptoms

If HCl does not take care of the acid symptoms, you may have a heliobacter pylori infection. Gnawing or burning symptoms can be indicative of an h. pylori infection. This pain tends to be located centrally, just below the rib cage. Other specific symptoms include burping, gas or flatulence, bloating, nausea and even vomiting."

Maybe it's an allergic reaction to something you have been using. Is it any toothpaste you use?? What all do you use in your mouth??
