Thanks for throwing in those TCM terms : pi shang............ " spleen

damage " .........I appreciate any additional TCM lingo , even better if the

characters were put in as well....but pin yin is great.

One of the patients at the eating disorder clinic where I practice has an

almost neon bright, shiny yellow tongue coat, just lateral to the center.

It's smooth and has a chemical look to it, and she has not been able to

scrape it off. It is associated with a metallic taste in her mouth, a

precursor to migraine headaches.

 

I would have thought it to be from a medication. But from the timing seems

unrelated. She is taking a variety of supplements but no western meds. She

reports that it comes and goes and she has noticed it for the past few

months.

 

Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Check the supplements.. . .perhaps with pi shang, spleen damage, she cannot

digest the supplements. The spleen is producing zhuo/turbidity, producing a

shiny yellow coat.
