Hi everyone.
My tongue is tingling and burning.
What is causing this now?
Has anyone ever experienced it?
I haven't slept in 2 nights, what is going on?
WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT BETTER?
Thank you,
jen

Hi Jen,
This has come up before. For example, here's a link to a thread where it's discussed:
New issue! Burning mouth and tongue syndrome
If you do a search of the archives using the keywords burning tongue (select the "search for all terms" option), you'll find many more threads, where it's mentioned.
I had that symptom when I became allergic to Scope mouthwash many years ago, but the insides of my cheeks also burned if I used the mouthwash. Anyway, it might be an allergic reaction to something similar, or to some food.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Yes. I had used that mouthwash for years, with no problems. But once I developed an allergy to it, it only took a few repetitions before my mouth would feel as though it were on fire whenever I would take a slug and slosh it around. After I spit it out, the fire would slowly go out. After a few hours, most of the inflammation had settled down enough that it was no longer a major problem, and by the next day, everything was back to normal. But it only took about a minute or less for the burning and tingling to start, after I took a shot of that mouthwash, and began to slosh it around, so the cause of the problem was obvious, in my case.

I wonder if you might be deficient in vitamin B-12, or at least deficient in the active form of vitamin B-12. A B-12 deficiency can cause unusual pains in various locations. This would especially be a possibility if you have followed a vegetarian or vegan-type diet in the past, or an any type of diet that might be low in animal protein. Are you taking any methylcobalamin now?

Beats me. 
I take Centrum Silver, but I didn't start taking it until I'd been in remission for several years. Multis in general have so many ingredients that they are almost certain to cause problems for someone still trying to recover, or freshly recovered.
We all run short of nutrition while we're still recovering, but it wouldn't do any good to take vitamins, anyway, while our absorption is so poor. After we're in remission and our gut does some healing, then we're able to benefit from the nutrition in our food, and our vitamin supplements. Trying to take vitamins or other supplements while recovering is a good way to prevent our recovery.

If you look at the labels, most multi's don't contain enough of anything to do anyone much good, anyway, if they're deficient in anything. And multi's contain the cheapest, least-absorbable versions of most vitamins.
