I woke up this morning to to find a medium-thick coating on my tongue. Accompanying this texture was the yucky taste. Making my way to the bathroom mirror and sticking my tongue out at myself I viewed it - my own homemade shag rug.
My body starts to detox after a few days without sugar. The tongue is one of the avenues of releasing junk from the intestinal tract. For most people, there is a whitish coating on the tongue.
If you happen to be one of those "lucky" people that wakes up one morn with a coated tongue consider this as a positive sign to keep up the good work.
The first thing to do is to rinse your mouth out and brush your teeth. You may also gently clean your tongue with a tongue scraper. Using mouthwash will kill the bacteria, that coating is teaming with bacteria.
Eventually the coated tongue phenomenon will decrease and go away. When that happens you have done a pretty good job of removing some deeper toxins from within.

yikes! michelle, no backing out now. you've married a carpet tonguer! :)
thinking of you guys and missing your faces. is there sugar in beer?
I admit.... I have indulged in beer (whiskey too).
And...some apples.
I have decided to ease into the new year and not hate myself for it. As of the 9th I'm in full throttle.
". . . and on the 8th day, the Lord created Sugar. And he said it was 'good.' And so it was good. . . "
Hi Jill! the sugar, malt, etc that is an ingredient in beer is converted to alcohol when the beer is fermented, so those types of drinks are pretty low in sugar, if they have any at all - definitely mush better for you than a soda, or a drink with artificial sweeteners!
Cheers!
THIS INFORMATION IS FALSE. NOTHING WILL GET RID OF CARPET TONGUE.
