I also get mouth, or should I say tongue, irritations. I have a geographic tongue and when I get a trace amount of gluten - such as second hand beer from kissing, my tongue gets circles and ridges and it is tender. This is always my first and sometimes only sympton of being glutened.

And how long does yours stick around? HOw long until your tongue feels normal? I just posted more about my tongue issues on this board. Let me know if it sounds like you!

My tongue does that ridgey circles tender thing too, it always crops up when I eat slices of apple with peanut butter. I think I'm allergic to that combination of foods? It doesn't happen with just apples or peanut butter, only together, and not every time I eat it either, but that is the only time it happens.

my tongue now seems to have recovered hooray! except in its place i have a full cold and sore throat. but i didnt have mouth ulcers or anything, and there was nothing noticeably wrong with my tongue it just felt bad.

you know what sucks tho? i took cold n flu tablets last night, then went to have some more this morning and was doublechecking the amount to take when i saw down the bottom "Also contains lactose and gluten". WTF?! i just dont get why there is gluten in stuff like that! How long did it take other people to remember to check every single damn thing that they put in their mouth?

I had tortilla chips yesterday and within a few minutes I started reacting. I'm only just learning that even corn chips can have hidden gluten (I'm newly diagnosed), but to have a reaction so quickly seems a little unreal. Is that possible?

Thanks!

My reaction time is usually between five minutes and 20 minutes....but the worse symptoms can be much later and last for hours. I'll still have mild reactions for a couple of days.

Yeah for you and your recovery!!!! I wish I could say the same. When you say, "there was nothing noticeably wrong with my tongue it just felt bad," what do you mean by that? and how long have you had your mouth problem? you sound like me....
