bumps on tongue

June 25, 2010

My 5 year old dd gets bumps on her tongue. These don't look like inflamed taste

buds, they look too big for that. Right now she's got two on the tip of her

tongue, one on each side. They are not painful, just sort of irritating because

of their size. The doctor said that she hates to put little kids on anti-virals

and would like to just monitor it and see if they go away in another couple of

months, but she's already had them for about four months. They occasionally go

away for a little bit, but then new ones will reappear. She does get all the

usual supps: vit a, b-complex, C, skipping D for the summer right now, vit E,

magnesium, selenium, chromium, biotin, milk thistle, zinc. We chelate most

weekends with ALA, add in DMSA every month or so for a round, (AC style of

chelation). I've started her on lysine. Any other suggestions?

I also have big sore bumps on my tongue! There's one sore-spot on the lower-tip

& to the left, .5 " back. There is a big sore area on the right side, side of

the tongue, towards the back. It has big bumps. It started under two main

conditions. 1 I was working in a moldy environment and lost my voice every day

at the end of the work-shift.

2 I was taking ALA, & EDTA without adequate mineral supplimentation.

We know that ALA is a strong antioxidant.

I developed a sore tongue once, after eating A LOT of cinnammon sticks, for

their antioxidant properties, but this was after several days of high dosing.

Another thing to note is that I taste all my supps, so, I did, a few times, open

the ALA & swish it around my tongue before swallowing it. This may have been

the deciding factor.

According to chinese medicine, the sides of the tongue, esp. where my sore-spot

is, in the back, represent the liver/gall-bladder, which concerns me some. I

suspect that a sore-tongue is the body's natural way of letting a person know

they have had too many antioxidants, however, I've gone many days without ALA...

and has not improved much. I'm still looking for the solution. I'm so glad you

wrote what you did. It helps me narrow down the search. Perhaps the

antioxidants deplete some nutrient, and the right suppliment can restore it, so

that I can get back to chelating.

Hello,

My daughter had the same soreness on her tongue and in her mouth when I started

her on supplements. After eliminating all of them and then re-introducing helped

me narrow it down to 'BIOTIN'. Even small amount of biotin makes her inner mouth

so sore and makes her lips bleed. So stopped Biotin.

Now she takes one to two drops of GSE, and coconut oil, threelac for yeast.

Thanks,

Shruti.
