ANSWER: solved. think about this. it's deeply intuitive if you know about this stuff. its very simple. IN THE TIME WE STOPPED EATING (OVERNIGHT OR BY USING AMPHETAMINE) OUR BODIES HAVE GONE INTO A LIGHT STATE OF FASTING. Therefore when we eat, our body is just trying to warn us -HEY DONT MESS UP THIS FAST, WE'RE JUST STARTING TO HEAL! as we're trying to eat out of habit when we weren't actually hungry in the truest sense. that's it.
the condition is totally benign. its just us improperly breaking an unintentional fast.
Also this is why it doesn't matter what we eat! if its food, you broke the fast. its not an allergy. its just any food will burn. and thats also why the burning stops when you barrel through the first few bites. or you can go back to the same offending food a while later. BECAUSE BY EATING, YOU BROKE THE FAST AND YOUR BODY REALIZES YOU ARE IN DIGESTION/EATING MODE AGAIN. thank you.
What to do about it? you just have to accept that you're fasting now... and go through until you feel genuine hunger (could be days. and you will know when the time is right) OR slowly. slowly break the fast with juice or liquid foods. (broth or even blended stuff)
I get this too when I haven't eaten for a while, in fact I've got it right now! I am really starving but I cant eat anything because it's just too painful, help!
I just read your post, and it is exactly what I have been going through for years. It always occurs after I haven't eaten for an extended period of time. It just happened again last Tuesday, and this time, the pain and discomfort carried on for days. Matter fact today is Monday and I still have discomfort. I am wondering if you ever found out what was causing your issue? I read the response you got, and the "spicy food" thing is definitely not my issue, as it happens with any type of food... Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
A clinical examination is important for diagnosing your problem. Eating too much of spicy foods can lead to pain and swelling of the roof of mouth. In burning mouth syndrome there is pain in roof of mouth. It is usually caused due to yeast infection. Sinus infections, streptococcal throat or any other bacterial condition can cause pain in palate. Ear infections, tooth abscess, mouth ulcers, canker sores, vitamin deficiency are few other possibilities. Pain will go away once the root cause of pain is detected. See a primary care physician. He may further refer you to the necessary specialist.
Best wishes and regards!
