the inside of my mouth and especially my tongue burn with everything i put into my mouth. gum, ice cream, salsas, chips, hamburger, it doesn't matter, unless it's a cold pudding or cool drink, it burns like wild fire. it has gone on for about two years now and i assumed it was a dental problem so the only doctors i have gone to as of this date are dental hygienests. i in fact have an appoint at a college of dentisty in iowa city next month. i eat well i think, i eat pizza, lots of milkshakes, primarily slimfast, broccoli, take supplements such as fish oil and vitamin b complex, zinc and vitamin e. i don't get a lot of exercise but i take the dog for her duties a least 6 times a day around the office building where i work 9 to 5. i clean my own home for the exercise, and i have ten grandchildren who i entertain at least a few of them every weekend. I'm 51 now and weigh 152 lbs. which is a weight gain of about 30 lbs. for me over the past 3 years, and my mother died a lengthy tragic death in 2008, of which i didn't think had torn me down so badly, but i DO believe 3 years and counting later that it has cost me some of my immunity and therefore the problems internally.
