I've had a white coating on my tongue for years, I can't remember when it started, but I have had some pretty bad food poisoning in foreign countries a few different times. Regardless, I don't have any of the digestion issues often associated with bacterial overgrowth or endotoxin - I'm generally healthy by any measure, no major issues, good daily BM's, good energy, strong temp and pulse, etc. My question is whether I should be worried about the white tongue if I don't have any other worrisome symptoms? I've tried the carrot salad, well cooked white button mushrooms and activated charcoal, but the white tongue persists. Only thing I haven't tried is low dose antibiotics but it seems excessive to try that just to get rid of the white tongue. Any thoughts?

My wife has been dealing with pain in her jaw from TMJ disorder. Aspirin doesn't seem to help. is there anything she can do to relieve pain in the short term?

I suspect teeth grinding is a partial cause, sometimes she grinds her teeth at night. I know Ray has suggested teeth grinding can be related to elevated Serotonin so I will likely try to give her cypro. Curious if anyone has dealt with teeth grinding?

She eats a fairly peat inspired diet with a few exceptions. And yes, we've tried the carrot salad.
