Jimi & all,
if your body is full of something like candida or something that can cause an issue (which could also be a tongue coating) then its possible that it may get worse before it gets better, its possible you could be experiencing a die off reaction maybe? you have nothing to lose staying with the probiotics for a few months (i am doing the same)
if mouthwashes work and you gain a fresh feeling in the mouth then it would seem a good idea to get a serious super bright light an dentist mirror and check your mouth (or someone to assist) hidden tonsil stones?
post nasel drip onto tongue - mouthwash eliminates until next time? if you have a tongue coating does it smell? (tongue scraper smell test)
have been wondering if an issue comes from the stomach or intestines could it work its way back up thru the digestive tract or lining it completely, so the only "tip of the iceberg" that you can see is the tongue?
i 2 am trying the probiotics (biokult)
http://www.nutricentre.com/p-16352-bio-kult-200mg.aspx i am taking quite a few.
had a food intolerance test (worth a shot) apparently i have issues with quite a few things, including garlic,onions,black pepper,coffee,strawberrys blackcurrants....cows milk,sheeps milk, goats milk...oh that will be all dairy then!!! so no dairy at all, if your body is unable to process certain things then its possible that it may stagnate or cause an unpleasant smell, dam my daily coffee with milk is so missed, have you looked at food intolerance?
i have started to take digestive enzymes,
i also use one of those panasonic oral irrigators (i also rinse my mouth with water after eating anything) now i only need to floss once every 1 or 2 weeks
am taking 2 lots of candida clear tablets
