yellow tongue uurrggh

Im on day 9 or tfr and my tounge is manky as anything its yellow and tastes awfull does anybody else have this and what can you do about it apart from brushing your teeth cos that doesnt seem to do much?x

when your run down a bit yes i think it happened to me just keep drinking plenty of water and you can use listerine mouth wash as long as your not swallowing it. I have had a pack of no suger gum for when i am embarraced about my breath when i am out on appointments ect dont know if your alowwed them but it didnt do me any harm still lost 5lb but saying that the pack lasted me a week.

i had the same the other day love, yellow furryness ewwwww its the ketosis i recon or not drinking enough, you can use gum on this diet but you can use nuphar mint strips, made for lioptrimmers and available at your chemist

yes ive seen them strips think i will get some next week when i go get weighed are they any good?x

yeah hun it help for a while, what i do is take them out of the box, cut them in half and put back in they are so strong you dont need a full one

Yuck!!!! I have the same and had a lovely, completely pink tongue before! Am not sure if it's the food packs (perhaps colourings???) or drinking decaf every day (I don't normally drink any coffee....). It's pretty uncomfortable, not furry at all (that I could scrape with tongue scrapper...), as the tongue also feels rather dry and odd.....and I do drink tons of water, so it's not dehydration. Something else...but can't put my finger on it!

Thanks for posting this....Now I know I'm not the only one

I think it's just a bulidup of the skin that usually wears away all day when you're eating solids. I brush my tongue when I'm brushing my teeth (very gently, no scrubbing)! Not nice though.
