Scalloped Tongue?
ad
Anyone ever experience scalloped tongue while on a cycle? Currently running straight test cyp at 200mg every three days. Typical anti estrogens protocol - diet is good. Stats, 209 lbs, 32 years younge, more cycles then my fingers can count, bf 12-14%. Nothing new with food, otc shops omega 3, daily vit., b complex. Not taking any sort of thyroid medications or orals other then the listed otc supps.
Had this happen one other time back in 2015 with a different supplier, had couple other compounds in the mix then. Was thinking maybe I’m dehydrated/not getting enough fluids during the day.

Some research says increased test levels lower immunity where fungal infections are concerned.
It’s not proven hard science, but enough that they’re conducting studies.
I’ve noticed I get athletes foot more often when I’m cycling, but I’m also a sweaty bastard that works in the heat.
I’ve seen a few different articles on it, this is just the first inconclusive one that popped up.
Alphamale500There was a story on the news yesterday about a man whose tongue was like all shredded up and discolored and they even showed a picture of it. His situation was caused by an ingredient in energy drinks which he said he drank a lot of.
Maybe a certain solvent or whatever in the gear is what caused your "scalloped tongue"? Or do you by any chance consume certain body building supps that you only take while juicing, or maybe too much taurine or something similar that they put in energy drinks? Just figured I'd put this up since I happened to see it.
What the hell is a scalloped tongue? Afraid to even google it.
Alphamale500I'm under the impression that he's talking about oral thrush. It's when you develop like a thick whitish or discolored layer on your tongue. Or could maybe be Candidiasis infection. Idk a lot about it, but you can get it when you have a compromised immune system, or sometimes people who get their tongue pierced can develop it for a short period of time.
But even dehydration can be a frequent cause of this. And imo, that's probably the most likely cause here.
My sister has it from food allergies.For her it’s night shades especially tomatoes.
Alphamale500It could be cause by lots of things, but dehydration I would say is at the top, with infection close to it. Or, do you roll a lot of blunts? When I was a teenager I got that from licking too many blunts while rolling them.
But it's probably just dehydration. I wouldn't drive yourself crazy bro, especially if it only happens while on cycle. Now if you had it all the time, then I would suggest seeing a doctor, because that happens to people with immune system problems!
Maybe you can try quick dissolving pro-biotic. Nature's Bounty makes a good 16 strain 2 billion CFU pro-biotic that's strawberry flavored.
Like thrush? Water vitamins digestion sound good to start
Alphamale500Yeah, oral thrush!
well I'm sure you have googled this to death, and from what I can see vitamin deficiencies are the main cause in particular Vitamin B. But I see your taking vitamins along with Vitamin B's, so I'm willing to bet your body is not absorbing the vitamin B's for some reason.
You need to see a GI Doctor dude , and get your colon and other small intestines checked something is going wrong down there. Especially when you consider this has happened before, you probably have some sort of chronic condition in your stomach or lower intestine.
Never, but if i got that id be getting bloods, check CRP etc.
Id be worried about my ticker etc.
Are you sure it's scalloped tongue? It is allergy season and allergies can start anytime in your life and cause you to breath out your mouth at night causing dry mouth. High blood pressure could also cause snoring that will cause dry mouth do you have cracks on the tip of your tongue?
Ridges from the tongue pressing up against my teeth. I actually was considering allergies too and thinking about doing some Benedryl. I considered bp as well so I did use the free machine at the local grocery and It was in the normal range.
Alphamale500Just remember, like you said you only got this twice and only when on cycle. It's very likely that it's from dehydration or another cause that's not that serious. And most importantly, nothing's serious until it is bro. Keep your head up!
Spring time I get dry mouth from allergies and my tongue gets like scallop tongue. Keep a Gatorade next to your bed if your waking up with a dry mouth
