Hi,
Does anyone suffer from a white coating on their tongue? I have had it for ages and feel conscious that my breath is bad. I read somewhere that it is a symptom of Lupus. I have my teeth checked regularly, so know it's not that and according to my GP it is not oral thrush (apparently the coating would be thicker). He suggested using a tongue scraper, but that doesn't work and also drinking lots of water, which I do and although that lessens it for a while, the whiteness still comes back!
If anyone else suffers with this I would be grateful to hear of any cures.
