Have you ever eaten pineapple, kiwi fruit, etc. and ended up with a burning feeling in your mouth? I know I have! One of my daughters cannot eat pineapple because of this.
This afternoon my other daughter at a piece of bread with jelly on it. It was an all natural berry jelly. Immediately afterwards her mouth was bothering her - itching and burning.
I suggested she try baking soda. I actually have a bottle of sodium bicarbonate tablets, which can be pretty handy at times. I had her hold one in her mouth for about a minute.
Her mouth was soothed almost immediately and she had no further symptoms all evening.
I looked around online and found this is called, "Oral Allergy Syndrome." Who knew?
It does seem like a mild allergic reaction. Glad that baking soda is a quick fix, at least for us this time around.
