Is the white layer on the tongue a indication of how much candida you got?i mean, the overgrowth could it be in larger amounts in the gut ?

Maybe: Or it may not be related to thrush at all. See a professional for diagnosis and treatment.

White layer: May or may not be caused by Candida albicans. There are other reasons for this symptom. Please see your Dentist to evaluate.
