I have had red rings on my tongue occasionally off and on for the past few years or so. when I went gluten free, I had 1 ring on my tongue right in the front that stayed for the first month and now, at month and a bit, it seems to be gone.

Anyone else get rings on their tongue? what is this caused from?

Do you mean like somewhat irregular "patches", as if a fine layer has peeled off?

no, just a redish dark pink ring. no layering.

Sounds like geographical tongue. I was diagnosed with this when I was a teenager. I get red rings and sometimes white one's. They usually fade in a couple weeks and always gone within a month unless I get a new one. High stress, citric fruits, strawberries cause it for me. Gluten free has helped that I don't get them so much but a margarita will do it every time :P Now that I am following low fructose, I may not see them anymore...there's hope!

I am editing this response. After reading Rice Guys question it may not be geographical tongue. Mine are always raised and looks like a road map of grooves and valleys. You may want to google it still and see if there is a smooth version of Geographical tongue? The pattern sounds like it by length of stay but its usually layered.

My tongue doesn't get rings, but doesn't quite get diagnosed as Geographic tongue. It gets termed as "fractured". (Like broken and cracked.) Is the ring like a red broken groove?

Maybe we should post pictures of all of our funky tongues? :D

My doctor told me it was because of a zinc deficiency and will go away when my zinc is back up as well as some mild psoriasis.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
