If it is discolored, do you drink coffee, red wine, have sinus problems or smoke a pipe.
I fall into the "All of the above" category .
I have not been smoking for about 6 to 8 weeks because of bronchitis and noticed that the color of my tongue has returned to a more acceptable color.
How is your tongue?

Have you been taking Pepto Bismal, or any similar medications containing bismuth? Black tongue can be caused by bismuth trisulfide which forms when bismuth subsalycilate combines with sulphur in the saliva.
There are other causes, including some nasty fungal things. If it lasts more than a few days, see your doc...
