  • •The most probable reason of tongue fur forming is a problem in the digestive tract. At the same time, there may be inflammation of the tongue. The mucous covering of the tongue containing a lot of papillae with taste buds becoming inflamed.
    • People suffering from chronic gastritis with acidity, chronic enteritis, colitis and often constipation have a white tongue and sometimes it is a little bit enlarged or swollen. And vice versa. People suffering from chronic gastritis with reduced acidity have a little bit of a diminished and furred tongue. A fur can appear on the tongue if a person has an acute stomach ulcer or a duodenal ulcer.
    •A tongue can be furred after a rich meal even if a person is relatively healthy. A fur appears in the morning and it disappears during the day. If it is constantly present, you should go to a doctor.
