Ive always had thick white coat on my tongue Ive never had good skin color i looked very pale a times, always bloated and lethargic is it dampness?
Jan 10, 2016

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Your symptoms may or may not be related, because the white coat over the tongue may be a simple issue of oral hygiene, yet it is difficult to assume that is it related to the bloating and lethargy, which are more worrisome generally speaking. You need a more thorough evaluation for intestinal disorders that are associated with oral manifestations, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or celiac disease (gluten intolerance). If you have joint complaints as well, a rheumatologic disorder may need to be ruled out.
