I’ve suspected autoimmune problems but that’s just a hunch and not part of my diagnostic experience. I ran the stool cultures for her because I thought she had a yeast infection, because the look of her tongue and symptoms of burning tongue and vaginal/vulvar burning which responded to small doses of antifungal medicine prescribed by one of her doctors.
