Burning Mouth

[Budew]

You guys always seem to have good advice. Here we go again.

Burning mouth, that's it. Sometimes my face beads with sweat. You know how your mouth feels when you eat something REALLY spicey, lips feel swollen.

The problem is this has become constant. Drinking milk, eating cheese and ice cream bring relief for a hour or so. Water helps but has no lasting effect.

I have 2 ideas. The alkaline acid balance in out of wack or it is a reaction to white potato. Now that I am writing this it suddenly sounds right. This is probably a nightshade reaction from white potato. I have been testing them for the past few weeks. My only doubt is that I was having this before I began testing the potato. The burning has been intense for about a month.

Any ideas?

I used to get the kinda burning feeling you are talking about on my upper lip after eating nuts. I think it might be an allergic reaction. Now, the challenge is to figure out what's causing it!

Hi,

Tapioca does that to me, makes my mouth burn for a long time. It is in many gluten free mixes.

I hope you find the answer, it's no fun having that sensation.

I used to get the burning mouth before I was diagnosed. It would almost always come along with a burning face--my face would get hot to the touch.

Since I've been gluten-free, this has stopped happening.

I also have various food intolerances, so I'm not completely sure if it is was gluten, or something else that caused it.

Incidently, I am intolerant to tapioca, also. I get a dry mouth from it immediately, followed by nausea.
