My dr. ok'd Pepcid AC (You can get generic for 1/2 price, just look at the labels for the med. names) I take 2-3 a day. and it's AWESOME!

Those bumps are because your taste buds are irritated. stay away from stuff with acid in it. (juice, soda.. stuff like that) just drink water, and eat bland things until your tounge gets better. It should be better in a week or two. if your not pregnant take a few Advil or IBprofen, if you are take 1 only.

I used TUMS and although it didn't totally alleviate it, it made it bearable....

My dr. recommended Mylanta.  She says tums is ok but by the last trimester my heartburn was so severe that she said Mylanta will coat my stomach more.  It did help a little bit more.  If I were you though, I would stay away from the barbeque sauce.

Like Brown Eyed Gurl - Milk helped me as well.  I would eat a bowl of cereal and it would go away for a little while.
