My friend wants to know if white tongue and lumps in throat are symptoms of Candida. She has a white coating on my tongue because she does and it is giving her bad breath. Also, she thinks she has a lump in her throat. She is wondering if it is related to candida or acid reflux or both.
Most of us, Candida sufferers, have a white tongue, but this is not candidiasis, it is caused by other yeasts. I believe this yeast syndrome is one of the worst diseases, because you don’t know what you have.
The white coating on your tongue is itself a sign of cleansing and/or ketosis. I read somewhere that this happens and is normal when you stop eating carbohydrates/sugar and eat only protein and fat. Try scraping your tongue and drinking more water. As your body gets cleaned, the coating will get cleaned. This actually makes sense, as this happens to me when I cut out carbs.
Bad breath can mean a toxic colon. I, too, have had a sore throat for years. After doing a year and a half program from Candida Wellness Center it went away, but still had vaginal yeast, so I don’t really recommend it. I feel a lump in my throat when I follow a low carb diet. It happens all the time.
Ketosis, which causes your tongue to turn white, is not a healthy thing, as it means you’re burning too much fat too quickly and this can put a strain on your kidneys. You can increase your carbs a bit by eating more vegetables.
