I got out of the VA hospital a day before Thanksgiving. I could swallow baby food and I had a hard time swallowing water. They had me on Prilosec for a couple of years due to acid reflux. A number of factors (stress and aspirin) wrong diet, put me over the edge. In the hospital I spoke to several gastro-intestinal doctors and mentioned my burning tongue. None of them had ever heard of such a thing. They all kept refering to a possible metalic taste in my mouth.  They scoped my stomach took a biopsy and told me that I had a lot of Peptic ulcers in my stomach and a condition called "Eosinophilic Esophagitis" in my esophagas. They wanted me to continue to take the Prilosec and a Corto-steroid throat inhaler. It has been 4 weeks since I left the hospital. I have not taken these drugs, and I have resorted to natural cures (Kefer, aloe vera juice, leafy green soups, baked squash, yogurt, none of which has seemed to cure the burning tongue that occures minutes after I eat something. I have started on your ACV and baking soda. I can already tell it's working. I also have itching all over my body that flares up from time to time, usually after I eat something. The itching is very intense. I have been taking "Doxapin" for it for about 7 years. Now I am not taking any alopathic medicine. I have just turned 67 years of age and finially want to do the best for my body, not my impulses. This has been a tough lesson. Thank you for your website.

Reply to Eric from Palm Springs, The presence of eosinophils in your esophagus may be indicative of an immune disorder. In addition to other naturalistic approaches, I would recommend that you try diffusing essential oils that are intracellular and will boost your immunity without causing harm. Be sure to get therapeutic grade oils from a reputable dealer.

Could be you have parasites under the skin. After two years of the torture of horrible itching all over his body, we discovered it was parasites just under the skin. Taking herbs like wormwood for parasites, completely solved the problem.

Burning tongue can be caused by thrush. I'm 35 years of age and I suffer from the same thing but I use bicarbonate of soda, honey, apple cider vinegar with warm water also I squeeze lemon occasionally.

If that's not working I would definitely get your vitamin B12 checked because that can also cause those symptoms.

Colloidal silver got rid of candida for me and taking a methylated B-Complex got rid of the painful sore tongue. Hope this helps.

Rinsing with Milk of Magnesia works wonders. It's also a great deodorant.
