@Hearthfire I started Baking Soda for deodorant, best for smells, but caused huge boils under my arms. Sad.

@fiester Not lately, but historically fasting hasn't helped with this no. I was shocked when after a fast I tried three years back, that even during it just liquids would stay in my stomach for hours.
But the tongue coat stuck around as well.

@cornwallis It has not helped the tongue coating if that is what you mean.

Otherwise, it is hard to say, some weeks I’ll get slow digestion one day, other weeks, 4 days in a row. Not seeing a great difference.

@fiester Tried those.

@mostlylurking I can try B2 in high doses.
I have no trouble with alcohol though.

@Peatly
I’m doing high dose Thiamine for my slow digestion now. Been on it for 3 weeks.

Here's my issue:
I've got bad GERD and periodic very slow digestion.
My tongue has a perpetual white coat.
It's been there ever since I was on flagyl in 2020 for a bad c.diff. infection I got and no doctor would see me due to the height of COVID.

But I've tried everything I can think of here:
Mastic gum multiple times a day, low carb, carnivore, coconut oil pulling, using a water pic for flossing instead of standard floss, tongue scraping, brushing with only baking soda to avoid exposing my mouth to additives,, adding methylene blue to my diet, taking large doses of niacinimide and aspirin for their anti-microbial effects, and even using oregano oil pills, etc and it will simply not go away.

I've taken pylori and sibo tests with no results, but this is such an irritating issue as anything I eat stains my tongue unless it's just meat.

What have you done that has helped you in this area?

@Sunniva THANKYS

@sexpresso69 Thanks.

@mostlylurking Yeah, the big change I'll make today is thiamine in late morning after my coffee has had time to absorb. My normal night-time gram is right before I eat dinner.

And I'm adding mag. No glutamine yesterday.

I'm leery about taking it too long because some cancers eat it. But I was hoping my previous bouts of sore throat were coincidences. Hell, this may be too just because lots of folks are getting the flu or strep in my circle.

But I was really just thinking that if I take it until my acne goes away, I'll know I healed my gut dysbiosis, but alas.
