A member asked:
Half a year ago i started having flatulence and about 3 months ago bad breath and a white covering in the back of my tongue. what could this be?

Food allergy: Food allergy would be suspected with increased flatulence and bad breath. A full md check up would be advisable, as your question and my answer are poorly suited to diagnosis over the web. Good luck!

Diet change?: Half year ago did you change your diet? People on high protein diets often develop flatulence. When was your last dental examination & cleaning appointment? The breath and tongue coating may be related to poor oral hygiene. The several listed problems may be unrelated. See your dentist first to determine the nature of your problems. You may then need to see a physician too.
