Tongue coating

[Bathsheba]

BG: a white coating on the tongue can be caused by several things... usually a combination of things. The cells of the mouth have one of the fastest turn-over rates in our body... so if you have any nutrient deficiencies then it will show up in symptoms in the mouth such as a white tongue (dead skin cells of the tongue) and mouth ulcers before any other part of your body. First of all though i would try increasing hydration... drink more water. Your body needs water to perform any cellular regeneration... when you are dehydrated everything slows down (and builds up). Secondly I'd increase your consumption of fruit and vegies. Your digestive system could be getting all blocked up and the healthy bacteria levels could be getting out of balance. If you could stomach InLiven or Fast tract this could be the fastest method of getting rid of the problem. Removing it manually will only help in the short term. You'll eventually need to address the reasons why it's building up. I look at my tongue daily and I get it too when i'm run down and have been eating too much sugar and dairy (dairy has it's own kind of sugar that bad bacteria love and thrive on if you eat/drink too much of it). Soft drink could make it worse.... it will de-hydrate you and feed the bad bacteria.

So, in a nutshell: drink more water and eat more natural foods...avoid the highly processed. When i was pregnant I craved watermelon. This could be something that might hit the spot with your ms ATM.

ETA: with the avoidance of drinking... I think this could be the basis of your problem. I know how awful it is to have that full bladder feeling all the time. But this will get better in your 2nd tri (well it did for me) please don't slow down on drinking... you need it more than ever.
