I have a question for Leigh concerning your dd and her geographic tongue. My 3 year old dd started getting canker sores in her mouth last summer and then developed geographic tongue. I'm despartely trying to find something to help her and I'm just curious if the diets or anything has helped you dd. I don't really even know where to start. Thank you.
