White Furry Coated Tongue - Minocycline

Hi,

Has anyone here with Celiac's ever had long term use of minocycline and suspect it may have triggered it off. Also, has anyone ever had a badly coated white furry tongue with associated pressure in the sinuses and dizziness.

AS to the tongue - does it seem like TRUSH? A yeast infection of the mouth? That would be triggered by antibiotics.

As to causation factors ... I don't know. But I was on amoxacyllin a lot as a kid, and ended up with ITP (autoimmune blood disease) and triggered Celiac. It's certainly a theory out there.

Yeast is definitley a possiblity with any antibiotic.

But another thought.......I get the furry tongue thing when I reduce my diet to my safe foods so that I can test a new food. I think it's a detoxing reaction. Sometimes I get a runny nose and a scratchy throat along with the furry tongue. I have to wait until this all clears up before testing the new food.

I always had a white, furry tongue when I was younger and when I went off gluten and got through the detox process it cleared up. Now when I eat something that does not set well with my system, especially a lot of yeast the white tongue comes back.

Yes, my tongue is also coated white. Though it appears like it is clearing up, I think it could be due to my gluten intolerance or possibly also a yeast intolerance I may have.... I have not professionaly been diagnose for gluten intolerance, due to my 2 week diet before testing. Though I'm trying to get thyroids test done etc... since I think I have other health problems.

Thanks for the replies guys. I have actually been ill for 25 years, undiagnosed, to the point where I have been unable to work but just got back IGg allergy blood test results and it came up severe for milk, casein and eggs and moderate for Wheat, rye and barley. The problem started back in 1984 when I lost 2 stone in weight, had bowel problems, was cold all over, constant dizziness, coated tongue, pressure in ears and sinuses. So I've just started a gluten, egg and dairy free diet. Let's hope for the best.

By the way, many years ago I had a course of Fluconazole, a powerful anti-fungal drug, which made no improvement, so it's not a fungal thing.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot.  There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating.  Then figured it out it was the potatoes.  They don't really taste good anyways. Get the white yams and cherry red 🍠 yams as a sub they taste way better. It's a cross reaction! Google foods that cross react with celiacs.  Not all of them you will cross react too. My reactions now unfortunately manifest in my chest and closes everything up . Life sucks then we die. Stay hopeful and look and see different companies that work for you . Lentils from kroger work for me raw in the bag and says nothing about gluten free but it works for me just rinse wellllll.....don't get discouraged and stay hopeful and don't pee off god

      Hi Lily Ivy. Thanks for responding. Did you have withdrawal? If so, what was it like and for how long?

      Welcome to the forum, @Doris Barnes! You do realize don't you that the "gluten free" label does not mean the same thing as "free of gluten"? According to FDA regulations, using the "gluten free" label simply means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 20 ppm. "Certified Gluten Free" is labeling deployed by an independent testing group known as GFCO which means the product does not contain gluten in excess of 10 ppm. Either concentration of gluten can still cause a reaction in folks who fall into the more sensitive spectrum of the celiac community. 20 ppm is safe for most celiacs. Without knowing how sensitive you are to small amounts of gluten, I cannot speak to whether or not the Hu Kitechen chocolates are safe for you. But it sounds like they have taken sufficient precautions at their factory to ensure that this product will be safe for the large majority of celiacs.

      Buying choclate, I recently boght a bar from Hu Kitchen (on your list of recommended candy. It says it is free of gluten. However on the same package in small print it says "please be aware that the product is produced using equipment that also processes nuts, soy, milk and wheat. Allergen cleans are made prior to production". So my question is can I trust that there is no cross contamination.  If the allergy clean is not done carefully it could cause gluten exposure. Does anyone know of a choclate brand that is made at a facility that does not also use wheat, a gluten free facility. Thank you.
