Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 You don't have diabetes do you? -------------- Original message -------------- I woke up today and noticed I have a black layer on my tongue. I've been searching the net and its often referred to as " black hairy tongue. " I'm not sure what it is. Could this be a die off sympto from the anti candida diet. Another thing is that I've been using this new toothpaste and mouthwash from Product line. Does any one have experience with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Now that I look at it, it looks more like a brown layer than black. Either way its not normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I was so intrigued after your post so went on line briefly to look it up. Why don't you just softly brush your tongue for a few days and see if it goes away. Doesn't Candida product a brown phlem (sp?) in the back of the throat for one of the symptoms? Maybe your new tooth stuff kicked something off? Maybe Bee will see this post tonite or Dr. M. Don't get alll freaked about it yet.

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 I don't think this is a symptom of die-off symptoms. Often foods eaten can color the white thrush on the tongue. You said it was kinda brown eh? It could be from the tea you drink or other foods. My tongue gets quite green from the chlorophyll I take. Are you taking a complex vitamin B or eating liver regularly? Sometimes a lack of balanced B vitamins can cause changes in the tongue as well. If your tongue is not painful I wouldn't worry too much about it at the moment. Bee > I woke up today and noticed I have a black layer on my tongue.

The condition is most frequently referred to as black hairy tongue (lingua villosa nigra); however, hairy tongue may also appear brown, white, green, pink, or any of a variety of hues depending on the specific etiology and secondary factors (eg, use of colored mouthwashes, breath mints, candies).
