Allergy to fresh lemon juice?
by borninquisitive, Oct 12, 2006 12:00AM
Two days ago, I drank freshly squeezed lemon juice (1 lemon in large glass, filled rest of way with water)and afterwords, in looking in my mouth: saw what appeared to be numerous, tiny, clear "blisters" on my soft pallet. These were easily wiped away with my finger and was left with a clear, sticky substance on my finger.
So, today...I tried the same and the same occured. This time, I had a small glob of this clear, sticky substance on my tongue too.
Is this a food allergy?
No pain or swelling (that I can see) involved.

It sounds like an allergy (or intolerance). I know I had a friend who used to get these "dents" in her tongue when she ate tomatoes.
That there are numerous, secreting salivary glands in the palette that protect from injury and lubricate the mouth.
Phew. ;-D
No pain or swelling was involved, so am thinking the dentist is correct.
Makes you want to run right out and try it...huh...NOT. lol
I think I can tolerate the lemon, only because after tonsil removal, my taste buds never quite went back to normal.
