white saliva

[infinity]

For the past 8 or so years I've had this white spit all the time. I can always taste it and it tastes like bread or something, (or yeast?)

It gets better sometimes, but I do think that it is a bacteria that shouldn't be there! It gets worse when I burn my tongue or drink beer, and will show up most right in the morning. This morning I spit in a ziplock bag and this afternoon the bubbles were all settled. What I see is that it's white, a little bit yellowish, and if you look really close, the white color is coming from very tiny particles, the spit is not consistent throughout. It looks a bit like rotten milk. The picture is attached below..

I asked a walk-in clinic doctor once because I had a similar eye infection of white goo, and he said it was probably normal, or he said if I had it for very long that it was probably nothing to worry about, but I'm sick of it... I remember a time when I didn't have this white spit and i want to get rid of it!

Please help! Your information is very appreciated!

I think that milky white saliva is generally related to chronic dry mouth. There are also medications that can change the color of your saliva, as well as some stomach conditions.

I'd see another doctor.

If this is somehow bacteria related, it could get better if you drink for some time a lot of yoghurt or kefir with living culture. But please check that it really contains living culture. Good luck!
