What foods irritate the tongue and can cause it to be sore?

my experience is an excess of any sour foods cause sores on the tongue and inside the mouth.  It seems the acid causes these sores.

irritated tastebuds.\nmaybe you're having a reaction to something you're putting in your mouth.\ncould be a food, drink, plastic pen lid or any number of things.\ngo talk to your doc for possible allergy

Any allergie will do that. There is also something called Oral Allergy Syndrome where the mouth swells.\n\nEat any fish or seafood lately?

The tongue is muscle tissue.

There is allot of scientific evidence that suggests our hormones influence our gut,many women experience Diarrhea or other intestinal discomfort with their period.The canker sore situation sounds a bit odd.It could be that you are low in certain minerals,and since the menstral cycle causes women to loose certain minerals as blood and uterine tissue is shed,it could be it is triggering the canker sores.You should get your blood levels checked to see if you are deficient in any minerals or have an underlying condition,if it comes back normal try taking a multi-vitamin/mineral.Eat easy to digest foods during your period and try to relax,stress and anxiety increases these symptoms.

oww that hurt, i hate it when that happens\nbrush your teeth after every meal and before going to bed and after getting up, keep your mouth as clean as possible, and if it doesn't go away in a few days or gets worse call your dentist back....you might see if the store has mouth sore gel, it helps to numb the area and cuts down on infection.

Perhaps you can repeatedly burn your tastebuds off, usually one can't taste a thing when their tongue is burnt, yu could do it all over and try to make it not smell. Drink steaming hot tea. \nThis could have negative health effects, and it willl be painful. Perhaps you could plug your nose while you eat. You can't smell and taste is really dulled. This seems less dangerous to your body.

Before any diet check with you doctor, then it could be the pill because of the homonal changes it put one through, i had the similiar complain of nausea, no taste buds and gained lots of weights too besides the tongue is a powerful organ it tells us alot what is happening to our body so here again i suggest you check with your doctor it won't hurt so go i wish you well.

If you have a herpes virus that causes these ulcers to come up when you irritate your tongue, lips, or cheeks, there is an oral medication called Acyclovir that will help it heal.  However, we all bite our tongues at times.  Your dentist can give you a medication called Ora-5 that will help the area feel better while it heals.  The only way to stop these areas from coming back is to be more careful when you eat.  Slow down, a lot of people bite themselves when they are in a hurry when they eat.  I hope this helps.

White tongue usually means your body is not doing very well.  Your health level must be very low and your diet is poor.  I would suggest that you try eating healthier and getting more rest.  Healthy eating includes eating good amounts of fruits, vegetables, grains, etc.  Stay away from fried and processed foods.\n\nGood luck!

Try rinsing your mouth out with salt water.  Add just a pinch of salt to a small glass of water and swirl around your mouth.  This will help reduce the inflammation and wash away any bacteria and help it heal faster.  I've done this after I've burned my tongue on a hot drink and it does work.

go see a doctor about it. i'm not sure what can be done about it. generally your tongue heals rather quickly. \n\nhow do you burn your tongue on a candle???

Hormones (changes in your menstrual cycle) can make the breasts sore.  You might try cutting down on caffeine (coffee, soda, tea) as they have found a link between that and sore breasts.

You could be biting your heek or tongue. Things in your mouth heal really fast.

While you’re problem could indeed many caused by any number of things\n\nsuch as allergy, etc, if you have what I suspect you have it is called\n\nGeographic Tongue (Benign Migratory Glossitis). Why do I suspect this\n\nand not something else? Simple, because I suffer from it too and I’ve\n\nalready educated myself about it extensively, so I know exactly what\n\nyou are going through. Fortunately though my condition didn’t manifest\n\nuntil I was in my early 40’s so I haven’t had to deal with it all my\n\nlife.\n\n\n\nGeographic Tongue is actually a dermatological condition of the mouth.\n\nIt is a benign condition where there is a map-like appearance to the\n\ntongue resulting from irregular denuded patches in the surface (loss\n\nof tongue papillae). In many people the malady is secondary to local\n\nirritation from hot or spicy foods, alcohol, or tobacco. In other\n\nwords, an existing or acquired sensitivity to certain stimuli caused\n\nthe irritation and in some people it continues off and on for life.\n\n\n\nPeople who suffer from this relatively unimportant problem sometimes\n\nreport patchy areas on their tongue that resembles something similar\n\nto a map of the continents – hence the name, Geographic Tongue. These\n\npatches can be raised a bit or they can be slick and shiny. In rare\n\ncases some people even report cracking, burning or bleeding and\n\nblister on the tongue that can be alarming but these symptoms tend to\n\ncome and go. Physicians normally suggest a person identify foods and\n\nactivities that seem to bring about the worst symptoms and simply\n\navoid them. It is safe to assume that alcohol and tobacco are\n\nirritants and they should be avoided as well.\n\n\n\nThere are no real complications from Geographic Tongue and in really\n\nbad cases doctors do treat it. They sometimes prescribe topical\n\ncortisone preparations, like desoximetasone.\n\n\n\nHere are some discussions with people who suffer and doctors who treat\n\nthe condition:\n\n\n\nMEDHELP\n\nhttp://www.medhelp.org/forums/dermatology/messages/31717.html
