            Please! It's not that bad. But it is rather personal.

              OK OK

              What is "thrush"

              I don't have HIV or cancer but maybe some sort of auto-immune defficiency or poor diet?

                I suggest visiting your doctor for a proper diagnosis. If it is Thrush, it can be cleared up with the proper mdeication.

                  Hmmm - I just looked up Thrush, and it seems to be a pretty easy to take care of thing. Good luck Z!

                    It's just bacteria, unless I'm badly mistaken - you can scrape it off with patience and an old toothbrush.

                    Does this mean I HAVE BAD BREATH!!!
                    If it's bacteria, then yes, your breath smells bad.

                      Actually, "shaving" your tongue will help - but it won't stop the bacteria from reforming (it will come back again - unless you like shaving your tongue...Eww!, Ouch!, and of course -

                      Once diagnosed, a simple pill will clear it up in a few weeks.

                      How does one contract Thrush? I don't have the foggiest idea. I myself have never had the "pleasure" of experiencing it, though my friends have...does anyone know how it's contracted? (sorry, I'm only familiar with its symptoms)

                        Thrush IIRC is a fungal infection, I had it and it was cleared up in a week or so after the doctor gave me some stuuf.

                        I belive natural youghart would work as well

                            Now Doc, be nice. Some of us appreciate you.


                            I thought thrush was very rare / impossible, except in those with a compromised immune system.

                              Thrush is caused by a fungus. I dont know the rate of infection in 'normals' but it's very low. The ID physicians here deal with it a lot in association with HIV since it is much more common in the immunocompromised. In high risk patients its virtually a signpost of HIV infection. Thrush is also a common infection in people using inhaled corticosteroids for allergies. In any case go see your physician.

                                I got it when I was a student, everyone I knew thought I must have got as a result of nocturnal activities but the doc said you can just catch it generally.
