INFO SIHAT: Yogurt

Disgusting confession : these past few month, my tongue is seriously going through a very ugly phase.  Ugly I tell you.  It have some disgusting patches of uneven colour tone as a whole.  Macam kalau jelir lidah, boleh nampak kind of tompok-tompok of uneven gradient of tounge surface feature and the spots of discolouration here and there - especially at the area where my retainer is glued and also along the bottom part of the teeth.  

So, I came across a few article which mentioned that any discolouration or patches of weird bumps on the tongue may be an early indicator to tongue cancer.  Freak out gile weh.  My head started making out hypothesis pertaining to this tongue thing -- maybe sebab aku asyik makan ayam je ke?  maybe sebab aku suka sangat chocolate ke? maybe sebab aku consume high amount of sugar edibles ke? maybe sebab lately jarang makan buah ke?  maybe sebab retainer aku ni dah berkarat ke?  That kind of thing.  Dari tahun lepas nak jumpa dentist, tapi asyik postpone sampai ke la ni.

And so, I ended up doing my own little research of this tounge problem.  Rupanya banyak jenis desease related to tongue problem.  So, aku pun pick up la one yang agak-agak similar to my problem sambil compare the visual images to mine.  Memang geli gak ah tengok lidah orang lain.  Like -- ohhh, rupanya masalah lidah aku tak cukup serius lagi, ada yang lagi teruk dan mengerikan.   Anyway, aku just assume my tongue problem is maybe in the oral thrush class.  Further info here!

Dikatakan -- it is some kind of yeast infection, that will result in formation of cheese-like white patches.  Lebih mengukuhkan teori aku is that it is normally seen especially among denture wearers (that's me!).  Apa yang berlaku dalam mulut ni is that certain antibiotics will kind of kill the 'good' bacteria in your mouth.  Proposed solution : eating plain yogurts.

The problem is : I'm not really a big fan of yogurt.  The person yang aku tau is a big fan of yogurt adalah Cik Lin and the last time she gave me the yogurt, berkerut muka aku menahan bau and the sourly taste.  Anyway, I am desperate dude.  I want my pink beautiful tongue again.  So, ended up buying a large size of Nestle mango-peach yogurt.  Mak suruh ambik yang kecik je, tapi sombong, nak jugak ambil besau gabak.

Tell you what -- it tasted so damn good!  Aku tak sure la the reason kenapa taste bud aku boleh berubah secara drastik, but it tasted so damn good!  And guess what, minum pkul 10pm tadi, la ni,sekali 4 jam kemudian, main tengok-tengok lidah dekat cermin -- it is healed!  Gile amazing!

Nak letak gambar lidah, kang orang geli termuntah-muntah pulak.  So, moral of the story is, go buy yogurt for your tongue problem!  Cheers.
