Ring On Tongue


River*

Recommended Posts

River* Contributor

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?

River* Contributor

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.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
