Numb Tongue?

[Natlay]

So, I've figured out that gluten, dairy, corn and soy are off limits for me and have been doing very well and have gotten really good at finding all the hidden things on labels. But now this week the front half of my tongue feels numb...like I burned it, but I know it's not burned. The only things I have eaten differently than usual is I made a cookie mix using applesauce and eggs. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

All I can say is, I have all the same intolerances. If I am to understand that is a picture of you, I'm much older than you, but the tongue, throat thing in many different manifestations is quite common in reaction to ????? I think, for me, hormones play a role. (I am very near to menopausal age) I would stick to plain, whole foods- eat very simply, without any condiments or additions and see what happens as you slowly add foods back in. It just seems our bodies may have a bunch of "weird things" going on as we try to find out what works for each of us! Good luck!

I get a burning tongue and esophagus from tapioca flour which is common in gluten-free baked goods.
