A white coating is considered normal on a tongue. Your acid reflux is probably more stress-related, and dietary-related.

Hi Deb

In naturopathic diagnosis, a white coating on your tongue reflects an acidic metabolism. Acid reflux can be a symptom of an acidic constitution. So they're connected, but to answer your question; no, the acid reflux isn't causing the white coating.

Does this help?

Regards, Olwen :-)
