The tongue is usually coated brownish and think towards the back. I pretty much scrape it daily for the past 7 years anyway. If I drink a Coke, thrush by morning always. It is sometimes yellowish and sometimes light brownish but always has the smell of dirty dishrag. I have tried many probiotics and the standard diflucan, nystatin, etc., but it always comes back. Just another thing to slot in for another day in paradise.
