📅 April 2011

It might be springtime out but I wouldn't say it's shorts weather yet.

@tinypliny came over last night and made dal. It was really yumny. I feel bad because I made her make it not spicy hot but there is really the only way my body can tolerate it.

I wish I waited to get my roof repaired. There was a major tax credit for it this year.

So I measured my morning PH as the test strip pocket suggests. Urine 5.75-6.0 , saliva 6.75. I guess I am acidic but according to the packet the healthiest urine is 6.0-6.9 and I was close. The second reading was almost exactly 6.0.





The more intereting/ gross part is that my orange tongue now also includes orange spit. I didn't reaalize till I spit it out to measure the Ph.




I get so frustrated when I read things like the following. I already eat a varied natural foods diet, I don't do drugs or drink, I exercise, I guess I have stress but who doesn't. I've barely ever taken antibiotics in my life, except for like during surgery and I sleep well. Not to mention my gastroenterologist can only schedule me in May 5th at 7:45am. What the frick? I need a new doctor. Its weird, I have money, I have insurance, I have a problem and there is no doctor - again.

I have experienced orange tongue since December 2007. I saw the gastroenterologist and told me it was a yeast infection in my mouth. I was give nDiflucan for about a week. It seemed to go away but it came back as soon as finished this medication. Same the antibiotics. Later I learned that its not a yeast infection. But it definitely has to do with the stomach. It definitley comes from a combination of extremeties like stress, eating poorly, not excersing, and not getting proper sleep and the misuse of antibiotics and over the counter medicines. I have ulcer, hiatal hernia, gastritis, and ulcerative proctoctis. I saw a macrobiologist doctor in February and he was able to tell me my deficiencies. According to him I was lacking oxygen, developing kidney stones, pancreatis (pancreatitis), etc. It all makes sense. Our bodies are not designed to intake chemicals. I completely changed my diet and starting taking probiotics and herbs to heal myself naturally. I have been improving slowly, I feel better and the orange coating is not as dark as before. Definitely take oil of oregano, garlic and mastic gum helps as well as eating organic whole foods. WE NEED TO DETOX OUR BODIES NATURALLY!

Seems there are lot of people with this issue:http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Ear--Nose--Throat/Orange-tongue/show/7117

At a minimum most of the people reporting this seem to agrees the bitter metal taste is terrible.

Maybe an allergy to metal to the metal in my new fake tooth - It seemed to start right after I got it?

hi everyone, i too have orange tongue. I actually got this years ago when i was a kid and had braces, no one could really figure it out, i was sent to specialist after specialist and they eventually decided it was an allergy to the metal in the braces, and took them out.

Anytime I have a real bad day I think, at least its not this.

Yoga was fun last night. I really nailed the headstand poses. Then afterwards I hung out with @tinypliny. We tried to figure out what is killing my tongue and making it orange.

I've been concerned more because now I have this massive heartburn with it. Tiny suggested changing my eating schedule to eat less before bed and too eat smaller portions throughout the day.

I tried reducing protein intake starting today but I'm not convinced my food is to acidic but rather its my eating habit or just my crohns attacking my upper GI. That being said I don't think our dinner helped although it was delicious. Maybe it's time for another doctors appt. I still blame the fake tooth.

I really like this one. I kind of wish my house was that size and style.

The candy apple from the Broadway Market was amazing. Four green apple with caramel and chocolate covered in pecans.





I also added one more meat to the blackberry bowl. This time grass fed steak. I love steak but I think I prefer blackberries with fish or white meat.

We headed over to the Broadway Market for butter lambs. The meat part if the market was far superior to what we visited on grant street a couple weeks ago.

They had these awesome Mohawk style hats but they were all too small. I ended up with the best pecan and chocolate candied apple.

A plagues worth of flying ants decended on the backyard. It seems the girl ones were much bigger than the guy ones. Here they are mating on terry.
