Thanks for all the replies to my question about tongue symptoms. Here is the
summary:
3 - called it geographic tongue
1 – was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis & has tongue symptoms like I
described
1 - reports certain candies, especially those w/artificial coloring cause
her tongue symptoms
4 - recommended vitamin B supplements B-1 or B2 (thiamin and riboflavin),
folic acid and B12
1- reported symptoms related to citris and recommended using
Campho-Phenique ,saying: “The bottle says "not for internal use" but several dentists over
the years have told me it is okay; in fact it was my dentist who told me
about using it in the first place... It is GF.”
1- said it sounded like thrush or a Vitamin B deficiency
1 – found it very interesting to hear of another individual who has this
strange tongue affliction.
2 – said they got the symptoms after ingesting gluten
1 - said the tongue symptoms showed up after being GF for a couple of
months. Also said “the Doctors were quite amused and all rushed in to see it.” Has
been seeing a repeat at about 18 months GF
1 - said her husband had it and was not a celiac. It came & went w/o
treatment. See the following link:

**Many mentioned reading that this symptom is common to those with celiacs.
Again - Thanks all! Linny
