So ever since my stomach symptoms began, I have had a burning in my throat, and white globs in my tonsils. The doctors never see the white globs when I show them..and they said the burning was heartburn. I’m starting to wonder if the white is candida related? My tongue is a little yellow/white and slimy but not extreme. I do get white in the cracks of my mouth and a bad taste in my mouth. The only time I notice the burning throat is when I have this white gunk. I also have a lot of bumps on the back of my tongue and several really red dots in my throat. Not sure if this is really heartburn or just thrush! Help 🙂
These pictures are from 3 separate times. (the last one is current)
Not sure about the white globs, but the tongue looks just like mine in the back. My tongue did not start looking like that until I started having gastro issues at the beginning of July and decided to start probiotics. I had an O&P (ova and parasites) stool sample that found “moderate yeast” (and nothing else) which is why I joined this forum.
By the way, my first doctor immediately ordered an HIV test as a result of this, which was negative. I don’t think doctors get that this is pretty normal for people with a gut imbalance issue. It is not a sign of a immune system disease in nearly all cases. From what I can tell, even cancer wouldn’t cause this–it is only cancer treatment (like chemo or radiation) that causes thrush by destroying good bacteria.
If you have oral thrush it isn’t very bad…I wouldn’t worry about this. I would worry about the sore throat which could be strept or something else.
