orange tongue?

[Guest guest]

Here's an odd question: Anyone out there have an orange-coated tongue?

I know that a white-coated tongue, which I had for a couple of years

previously, can indicate candida, but both my pcp and acupuncturist

politely overruled my concerns with the standard critique that " it's

overly vague and overly diagnosed. " . Since I gradually recovered from

ibs symptoms, I decided they were right. But I noticed that around the

time of my ibs flare (which is going on 9 mos. now, and worse than

before), I acquired an orange tongue, which continues to glow in the

mirror whenever I look. Do such multi-color coatings suggest / confirm

gut problems, candida or otherwise.

thanks,
