Can You Have A Very Sensitive Tongue

[slinky.kate]

I cant eat strong /medium curries,nothing with chilli,ginger,salt & vinegar crisps etc.it burns my tongue like anything,my boys laugh at me with eyes streaming and tongue hinging out the mouth,i never used to be this bad.even some cheeses do it as well.

fresh pineapple does this to me and raw onion in salads gives me terrible tummy cramps within minutes but cooked onion I am fine with.

I have exactly the same - started a couple of years ago. I was in a restaurant and had my tongue in a glass of water to stop the pain of what was to me a very very spicy dish but wasn't according to my husband. I looked a right nutter. As for salt n vinegar crisps = omg they are a total no no!

[woofgang]

does anyone else find strong peppermints, and even some toothpastes painful?

Salted crisps, vinegar, brown sauce and quite a few more are a no go for me.
Makes my tongue really sore, and red.
