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
