Fuzzy Tongue

Anybody else having a terrible taste in the mouth and a fuzzy tongue? I'm not dehydrated, I'm getting in my liquids. It's gross and want it to go away.

    I was told it is a side effect of ketosis. Mine started at about 2 weeks and even at 3.5 months still have it every morning. When your body is in ketosis you are burning fat so it is gross but a goo

I am having the same problem!!! Glad to know I am not the only one... I actually scrape my tongue several times a day because of it

Careful of thrush.. Can happen with the anistesia and antbiotics

Yes, I got it too for about 2 weeks after leaving the hospital. I never formally got it checked out, but did a lot of tongue scraping and gargling with mouth wash. Eventually it went away on its own. It was a pretty thick and nasty coating.

It can also be acid reflux causing it ,

If you can scrape it off with toothbrush it's Gerd tongue if it stays it is probably thrush

Thanks for the response.

It was pretty gross. I had no idea it acid reflux as I thought acid reflux was a burning sensation in the throat after eating something extra spicy or high in fat.

Ya , that acid will leave a nasty coating on your tongue ..

Pretty yucky, mine has been really gross since the surgery

:) good maybe it's that and my body has turned

In to a fat burning machine ... I like that better than reflux

Yes, that furry tongue is how I know I'm doing things right (also the numbers on the scale ;-}). At first it was definitely something to get used to!!

You can search on here for ketosis and should find a lot of info on how it works.

Burning fat is always good!!!!
