Wow. Burning mouth syndrome literally drove my sister in law mad. She went to many, many doctors who deemed it was all "in her head". She eventually committed suicide. You are definitely saving lives, Dr Berg.
OMG, that's so sad. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to have doctors tell you it's in your head. I suffered for years with many seemingly unrelated symptoms among them horrible sores. Doctors never put them all together and told me I was causing it. Finally I found a Doctor who said I have allergies to foods. He sent me to an allergist who confirmed his diagnosis. Turns out the things I'm able to eat make up a far shorter list than those I'm allergic to. This started in my 30s and found this doctor in my late 60s. Now at 72 I am healthier than ever and all symptoms are gone unless I accidentally eat something on the allergic list.
@@rouxchat6033 I am so glad you finally found some help. I think my SIL would still be here if she has gone to a functional medicine dr or a naturopath. She wholly trusted allopathic medicine and trusted her drs to know what they were doing.
@@conniereeves2711 I have family and friends that are on too many meds and believe every word their doctors tell them. They don't want to hear anything to the contrary yet continue to complain of pain, insomnia, acid reflux, inability to lose weight, etc., etc., etc.
@@rouxchat6033 and the really sad part is that most likely there is help for them. They could have good health, if only they would open their minds. So glad you are willing to think outside the box.
My mother had this syndrome and finally the doctor figured out she is extremely deficient in B12. She started B12 injections and now she is symptom free.
My daughter ( 19 yo) has suffered this condition since she was 13 years old. We asked the doctor and she told us that it was common and normal. We asked her dentist what it was and she told us the same thing, it’s very common and normal, don’t worry about it. So she has been suffering for about 6 years. Recently, she stopped eating sugar, flour, grains, fruits and it has improved but it doesn’t go away. I will try the B12 supplements. May God help her. I’m glad your mother is doing well. Thank you
@@debonisasarab5567 go to the tell me about your pain Facebook group and tell them about her pain journey. Also nicole sachs has a podcast episode on bms.
I would get canker sores a day after I eat oranges, pineapples, lemons, limes, grapefruits and tangerines. Had that issue ever since I was 6 years old. I avoid those foods now and as long as I do, I don't get the canker sores.
Affected individuals often complains of burning pain of the oral mucosa preferably on the tongue accompanied by other sensory disorders such as dry mouth, altered taste sensation.
None of my Dr's have a clue about BMS....I myself am feed up with this mouth pain, so thank you for your information. Now I can ask them to check my levels. ❤
My doctor told me to stop using toothpaste that had either peroxide or whiteners in them. Also no mouthwash. Within a few days my burning mouth was gone!
Hi Doc, an 82 year old male veteran here, I got the dreaded BMS or something similar as described It is no fun, I had it for two months Very little sleep I went to the hosp. here in Salem Or, Told them what was bothering me Without a swab or even looking at my mouth they prescribed a large lozenge and a compound wash to get at Walgreens and get rid of me Walgreens said they couldn't make it because they didn't have a license to compound but they sold me the parts to compound, as if I'm licensed Idiotic This didn't work Your suggestion of vitamins and zinc DID! Within two days this thrush or whatever was gone with my wallet being no lighter for your advice Thank you, thankyou, thank you! Your ethics are in doc Now I lay me down to sleep
I had this for two years and yes it started about when I entered menopause. But when doing a search one day I saw a website mentioning that aspartame could cause the burning mouth syndrome. Then it clicked. I was chewing a lot of gum back then with aspartame, so I stopped immediately and less than a week later the burning was gone. Might be a coincidence, but I thought I should mention it .
Thank You, Dr. Berg!!! Always useful and timely information that is actually of benefit to so many and passed along that others not aware may start to feel better sooner than later! Keep up the great works, you are appreciated! Best wishes and Prayer's to you and yours!
This is the first video that makes sense to me. I have struggled with low estrogen and I have type 1 diabetes which is as diagnosed with 4 years ago. I got burning mouth syndrome at the same time.
Yes! Started with menopause for me and is why I keep a glass of cold water with me at all times. Carnivore definitely improves the burning and crazy dry mouth. Going to up my B-vitamins to see if that helps as well. Thank you Dr. Berg!
Please don't give up; I am dealing with this too; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription.
Ever since I used your neck device and it fixed my neck after two uses... I can now sleep on my side after 4 years of not being able to sleep on my side without getting up not able to walk good due to bad lower back pain it caused!! It is amazing!!! Before even 5 mins laying on my side would pull my lower back so bad id walk around like a old man for weeks! Now I can sleep entire nights on my side like I use to!!! What a life changing device!
Oh my gosh, I have this! Was looking for video on peripheral neuropathy and found this. Will try all these supplement and see how it goes. Now back to looking for neuropathy info.
There is a condition which can also cause the mouth to burn. Oral Lichen Planus It is an autoimmune condition. Your Dentist may send you to an oral surgeon to have a biopsy done. Your tongue and inside of your cheeks will burn, especially after eating or drinking certain foods.
Jesus Christ!! I have been to TWO urgent cares (that said it was an allergic reaction), seen two allergists (one said it was a viral infection while I was still wearing my mask and the other told me I had burning mouth syndrome but didn't know why) and seen two other primaries (that said it was an allergic reaction) trying to figure out why I have this. Until yesterday, my third urgent care a doctor told me it may be due to my acid...that has to do with my b12 (maybe a deficiency)..that has to do with my metformin...that has to do with my prediabetes and pre/peri-menopause (not sure of the order). I don't want to think about the insurance co-pays. If only I'd seen this video beforehand. YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! Thank you for this. My lips were swollen, everything on fire even while drinking cold water. I couldn't eat and whatever I did, I couldn't keep down. Almost three weeks to finally get here. Thank God for the Magic Mouthwash (prescribed mouthwash that numbs everything) that helped me eat. But without taste--I lost my taste--everything taste like paper. Yes, we've all chewed on paper as a kid, right? That's what food taste like now. Or this could've been due to my daily grapefruit I used to eat to avoid getting kidney stones because the citrate helps keep the calcium and oxalate from forming crystals-pretty stones that hurt. I had this twice. And also had an issue on my foot that they thought was gout--but wasn't. `Maybe it's the salt--makes me swell up in my fingers.

When I was a child I has this for long periods of time and I remember the feeling, as if my tongue was burning. I think I was deficient in B12 and iron and was eating a lot of sugar
About 5 1/2 years ago, I had been dealing with so many disorders for most of my adult life. Schizoaffective disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, seizures, too many more to mention and burning tongue syndrome was one of them too. I figured out that gluten was the cause of all my illnesses 🤦♀️ I’ve been off gluten for about 5 years now. I’m still healing but most of my symptoms are gone, including my burning tongue 🙌😊
@@donnaml8776 … Oh, thank you so much 🤗 The fact that I’m making this comment with a clear, conscious and stable mind is a miracle in and of itself 🙏❤️
@@alexab2016 Many health issues are related to foods and how they were grown, where grown, how packaged (some leeches into the foods) and what chemicals were used and then some. Used to be you just ate for health. Now you have to worry what you eat is what's causing bad health. So it is kind of funny if an unsafe car is on the road it is removed when it is discovered unsafe or via vehicle inspection time. Yet, we have a USDA and FDA that approves all this garbage food that is consumed unknowingly by the consumer that it can be the very thing causing many health issues for so many suffering ill health. So in the end it makes you wonder why vehicles are given higher safety priority than foods consumed that can affect a persons ability to function well enough to even drive a killing machine (vehicles) safely. Funny how so many things have connections not thought of to even be associated with health. Such as, allergies to pollen that may be in or on a food, food dyes, food additives, food preservatives, food emulsifiers, food flavor enhancers, wheat, sugar (and because they removed fats from foods they pumped up those flavor enhancers sugar and salt that are so harmful and then have the nerve to say don't know why childhood obesity is on the rise, HBP -High Blood Pressure is up and on the rise, Strokes and Heart Attacks are on the rise, and on and on) and those others not remembered right off. People now get to play doctor to try to figure out what is wrong because most doctors of today give another pill to treat a side effect of medication(s) instead of helping to find what caused the issue(s) in the first place so you can eliminate medicine altogether or take fewer. Legalized drug pushing merry go round of pharmaceutical's padding their bottom lines comes to mind otherwise doctors would get more than 2 1/2 weeks of Nutrition studies in all their years of schooling as told to me by a doctor. Very sad they place nutrition last when that is the very core of our being, the foundation we start out on, and the very thing that gives good health or bad health and life above all. Somehow in todays medicine foods don't matter as much as pushing drug therapy along with junk foods and even sadder is those talked to who now think drugs are a better option over eating right and adding supplements and exercise. Food is so devoid of nutrients that it becomes almost imperative to supplement! Dr. Berg is a treasure and so glad he chose to offer free self help to people. I pass his information on to anyone open minded (some have even stated their doctor told them they cannot take any vitamin's. Not sure if it really was said or said so they can have an excuse for not doing self help as some do because they think drug therapy is a better choice for them when it is not in many cases. Yes, if really sick medication is needed, to control some illnesses, too. But many illnesses can be fixed via better dietary intake and exercise and can then get off medication's, but do not. Willing to help themselves feel better through knowledge, nutrition, supplements and exercise as needed goes a long way towards better health! Hard to find, but the few doctor's online giving freely of their knowledge for health are the real doctors in life nowadays truly looking to help people be or get healthier!!! May Dr.Berg and the few others on YT always be Blessed!!! All best wishes and Prayer's for YOUR continued health success, too!!! Glad you have found some things that worked out for you. I remember reading years ago lack of some vitamin's can cause schizophrenic like symptoms in people and other issues, and who knows how many more health issues it can cause in total and drug therapy is pushed instead of nutrition. Sad where things are today. 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
@@AFineLineA ….. Your comment brought me to tears. I have had so many specialists and doctors, putting me on this meds and that meds. I was on 17 different medications at one point. They were only treating my symptoms as they cropped up, never looking at why I was deteriorating so much at a fairly young age. I literally figured it out myself five and a half years ago. One day, I decided to google my top 20 symptoms at the same time in the search bar….a lot of info came up about celiacs and gluten sensitivity…so I decided to take it out of my diet for 30 days to see if I felt any different…long story short, here I am over 5 years later, I’m on zero medication and getting better every day. I don’t eat processed food anymore since most of it contains gluten or may contain gluten anyway. I found Dr Berg while I was researching ways to heal myself. He’s been a complete God send to me. I cured my candida thanks and praise to Dr Berg. I tell everyone I know about him. Even my 75 year old mother who thinks the entire internet is contained in a single office building somewhere on the planet 😅. But she knows how to get on UA-cam with her pen and paper ready to watch Dr Berg 🥰 Thank you so much for your kind words, Bless you always ❤️
I have had BMS for 2 years. I went to the doctor a week ago, told her that's what I had as all the symptoms were the same. She put me onto Amitriptyline 10 MG. It seems to have done the trick, pain in mouth and tongue has gone after having it every day, what a relief!
I was told by a doctor that my cervical spine ( C1,C2 ) were pinching a nerve that relates to the tongue causing my tongue to feel it was burning. I have been very keen to keep up with all my vitamin supplements since I'm 72 years old. I had a chiropractor manipulate my c1 and c2 and it has decreased the burning sensation. Just to give another thing to look into.
Hello Dr. Berg. This is a great video for a very unique (idiopathic) problem. I am a male, and have had this problem in the past. Could you also address this issue with males (men) and what to do about it.?
I am dealing with this too; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription
I will tell you the cause of burning mouth syndrome because I have suffered with it. It has to do with the hiatal hernia. You will notice your tongue starts burning after a meal and then subsequently bending over or lifting. It is sending stomach acid up through the esophagus into the mouth and occasionally into the nasal passages. Doctors and Internet could not help me but I did identify this. Stress alone, example being fear, will also cause the diaphragm to tighten sending up acid from the stomach and causing burning tongue syndrome.
I also had burning in my mouth and even in my ears believe it or not ... caused from acid reflux which my doctor diagnosed as dust allergies. I started taking a proton pump inhibitor after a year of pain and suffering and it went away. The burning in my mouth , tongue and swollen lips I'm experiencing now is different ...I do believe it is a vitamin b deficiency because I have stage 3 liver disease caused from having hepatitis C that my HMO didn't pick up on even though I had complained for 30 years of pain in my upper area where my liver is and told the doctors that I had 2 eight hour surgeries five days apart in Queens Medical Hospital in Honolulu Hawaii 30 years prior. Finally a doctor listened to me and ran tests ...found I have hepatitis C ....
I have a hernia and then got the worse case of acid reflux which never caused a burning chest but I had burning throat, ears and nose, couldn't eat properly for months as food felt stuck. I had a numb face on one side, and still have low saliva, numb tongue and constant burning and cracked mouth. I can't get back to normal, its terrible
This used to drive me crazy! I thought my thyroid was causing it. I do supplement with many of Dr. Berg’s suggestions now which help greatly, but also had a HUGE breakthrough when I simply changed toothpastes!! It was the SLS ingredient that is in most toothpastes that caused my mouth to burn and breakout in ulcers. Then I also began taking 800 mg of olive leaf extract a day and the thrush problem disappeared. Happy mouth!:)
@@debonisasarab5567 I really like Himalaya. Been using it for years with good dental reports. It’s free of all irritants. I just picked up another brand at my dentist’s office by Periosciences that promises additional care naturally. If you have mouth irritation a lot, I’ll share the recipe I got at a Mayo Clinic…one part Malanta or similar liquid anti acid , and one part children’s liquid Benedryl. It’s called ‘Magic Mouthwash’, and really is!! Just mix together and swish after brushing. Brings relief to canker sores and other irritation over night!:)
You cured me,I had burning mouth,my tongue and lips were burning bad,lips felt like they had little cuts in them and mostly the end of my tongue was burning,I've had cancer,they cut out my voice box so when anything happens to my mouth I panic,but I watched your vids on burning tonue and burning mouth,it calmed me down some,I tried salt water and it helped,I used pink salt,a very weak mix,I put alittle in moush,swish it around,and just hold it for awhile then swallow it,I could tell a difference right away,I had to repeat it every hour or two,but it was really helping,,next day onld had to do it a couple times,now today ,not at all
I have this. I am 40 years old, male. Its a strange thing. Sometimes I have it bad. Some days I don't have it at all. I think grinding your teeth might also contribute to it too. I personally notice that when I eat bad food ( pizza from big chain) I have so much pain on my mouth the next day probably cheese and gluten) When I eat properly ( keto) and wear my night guards, i have no pain the next day. Also, TMJ exercises ( find on youtube) have really helped reduce the grinding. Good luck to all of you Thank you Dr. Berg
Drinking celery juice helps my burning tongue. I drink fresh celery juice first thing in the morning a few times a week. So glad because I was miserable for years. I am post menopausal. I believe I have blood sugar handling issues and possible NAFLD. Drinking coffee made it worse for me.

Hi everyone, i also had a very painful burning sensation in my mouth. My iron, ferretine, b12, folic acid and hb were all low. I bought alpha lipoic acid, zink, and all the vitamine that were low and sometimes I used more than recommended haha. And now the burning is almost gone and wanted to share with you, and hopefully it will help you too
I had burning mouth syndrome when I was under a great deal of stress. It was premenopause. I went to an oral surgeon who didn't know a lot about it but suggested B12. I started taking it everyday and I had to avoid certain foods, ice cream, hotdogs just to name a couple that I remember the most. It took a while but it finally got better, I would say at least a few months. I haven't had it since and that was about 20 years ago.
It was a long time ago so hard to remember. I think the worst of it was about 3 months. Completely gone in about six months. The B 12 worked for me. @@rommajiwan1972
@jorge bc Spring Valley supplements (one tablet) D3 600 IU, calcium 1000 mg, magnesium 400 mg, zinc 15 mg. The bottle recommends three tablets, but I only take one. I am not sure if it is the combination of this supplement or one of the individual minerals. All I know is when I stop it, the pain comes back. I hope this helps.
@@irishpixierose Thank you very much for your answer, I will try it. I am helped by a mixture of ginger and cloves. It calms the feeling on my tongue during the day.
Dr. Berg, I would like to thank you so much for such efforts to help people stay healthy. Actually I have lost taste sense with my tongue tip, it got so soft, and it always hurts. Is there a way to fix this . Thank you again 🌹❤
I have the same problem. I have been on vitamin tablets since last month but it didn't solve the issue. If you found the remedy can you suggest it for me.
@@neelambuttt7423 Nexium was a temporary cure because it really is a bad idea long term to lower your stomach acid. Now I use digestive enzymes with probiotics in the morning and a product called acid relief 360 (I believe that’s the correct name) at night. It’s taken a long time but I do feel better.
What about foods and drinks that can lubricate the mouth? Any suggestions? I've been sticking with the lemon water and apple cider vinegar but do you recommend any other?
I thought I had a vitamin deficiency. Turns out I developed a tree nut allergy in my late 50’s! Within a couple of hours after eating tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc) my tongue would get sore and burn. Took me a while to figure it out. Maybe this will help someone. Oh, and BTW, I have also learned peanuts are a bean and not a tree nut, and I can have those. :)
I think it’s some sort of allergy too. Burning is intermittent so difficult to pinpoint because I eat and drink the same things most days. Coffee, toothpaste, vitamins? I’ve learned to live with it but it drives me crazy trying to figure it out. Glad it’s a “syndrome “. Have had it forever, pre and post menopausal.
This happened to me and my hormone levels had bottomed out. My test levels were below 200 and free was at 4. This led to crazy insomnia and my body started to show signs of malnutrition. Since getting on trt everything has improved.
I just self diagnosed myself with BMS. I think mine is due to alcoholism/diabetes. A teaspoon of Baking Soda mixed with a cup of warm water helps with the acid part sometimes. I have to look into this B12. Hopefully it will get rid of it.
I've had this for 11 years. Caused by a stay in hospital losing blood through a bowel issue. The hospital did nothing to stop the blood loss and the BMS started two days after discharge. The nerve end are damaged and take years to heel but they so sensitive even raising my voice can ignite it again and it gets far worse, then takes weeks to ease off. Its a horrendous condition and my GP surgery have been completely useless. I'm 73 and they ruined my life.
Can peri-menopause cause burning mouth as well as I have only started getting the problem over the past 18 months!!! I still have a cycle but I also have PCOS. I never had this problem before!!! I am 8 days keto following you!!!!!!
I have this horrible Burning on my tongue 👅 this started 1week ago . I also had My R side Thyroid removed. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. What is your recommendation. Also I keep on biting my tongue due to dental issues. Thank you.
i had it and still have it .. the only thing that takes it away is Zanax I tried everything.. this works but its not a cure .. now without it .. its a nerve condition in my teeth .. even if I had root canals the teeth still hurt which tells me its coming from the roots in the jaws .. If I can get rid of this condition I would be so happy!!! over 10 years!!!
Dr. Berg, Is burning mouth also related to a choppy/cut tongue? I am in Israel and I hope they will check for B12 when i do bloodwork. I have this for about 5 weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I am 56 years old. I have learned so much from your video's. Thank you. RW. Israel.
I totally relate; I have lost track of the many dentists I have seen; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription
Question: here Dr Berg you mention FOLIC ACID, shouldn’t that be FOLATE? Or does that not matter? It’s amazing how important B vitamins are after menopause. Really amazing!! And being that most B vitamins are water soluble you’d need to replace them daily because they won’t be stored in your body. That’s my understanding anyway, so if I’m wrong please let me know, I’m willing to learn, lol.
It seems there are a lot of underlying causes that could lead to BMS. I have another--I developed BMS about a month after getting new Invisalign retainers. I had worn them for years with no problem. Maybe the new ones were of a different make-up. I stopped wearing them and the problem improved 80% after two days. I’m 95% back to normal after 2 weeks. I found out online that there are many others with reactions to these plastic retainers. So for me, it was an allergic reaction.
Burning mouth syndrome has been driving me crazy for the past year. I had a full hysterectomy last may because I had stage 1 ovarian cancer. Not too long after the surgery I got a staph infection on my tongue that led to burning mouth syndrome. But I don’t have any estrogen in my body or progesterone either. It’s been driving me crazy for a year.
I'm not even close to menopause and I have this. It's more towards my throat and it recently started after being on the keto diet for a few months. It happens with different foods so there's no pattern. At least now I know I'm not an alien 😀
@@kahlymerin4882 It comes and goes but doesn't last long. I eat some sugar free foods but it happens with other foods too. Idk about everyone else but it seems like it has to do with foods that are fake carbs. Like "fiber" or "protein" breads. Carbquik type things.
It will be 3 years of burning on my right side of tongue and roof of mouth after dental work...has gotten better but the only thing that helps is chewing gum all day :(

He said the cause of them isn't really known I started using Orageel and the condition worsened . Coincidence ? I don't know but I switched to a salt water rinse tonight . Will see in the A.M.
I'm 45 and I've been dealing with this horribly painful geographic tongue looking thing for the past 5 months and I'm going nuts. I'm basically blending all my food, using a straw and being extremely cautious of what I eat just like you. My throat also feels like there was heat or fire inside and the inside of my gumline is red and irritated. Also a lot less saliva. I haven't had Covid, but this all started 3 weeks after my first and only Pfizer vaccine. I've tried everything the Drs. recommended and nothing has worked. I'm extremely scared and depressed. Please let me know what helped you if you dealt with something similar...

Hi Dr. Berg, I’ve been having BMS since last year and I’m not even 30 yet, the symptoms started after suffering from severe anxiety attack, it subsided a bit in the past months and recently it’s suddenly getting really bad again, I’ve been taking B1, B12 and oryzanol and didn’t seem to help too much. Any suggestions on those cases that’s not related to menopause but caused by anxiety physical symptoms?
I'm a male with this condition, which first appeared during a time of very high stress at age 43 as a tongue irritation, kindof like I had something stuck in my teeth. It's incredibly annoying. I'm currently pre-diabetic on keto for 6 months but it has persisted. I'll try zinc supplements. This is more productive advice than I've received from any ENT specialist. They just say "stay hydrated".
@@vishnugautham9941 The zinc didn't really work for me, unfortunately. The irritation comes and goes, but I can't detect any pattern to it. If I ever find out something that works reliably for me, I'll update this thread.
Hi Dr Berg, can you PLEASE do a video all about secondary bile salts? Why you would have basically none, how to get them back... Anything and everything you know and can come up with🙏🏻
I only had burning mouth syndrome under one condition when I was temporarily in the nursing home and I was having a huge change in my dietary foods and also I was put on Lyrica and not taking off even though I was having symptoms I ended up having a huge allergic reaction to the Lyrica. It felt like I had chickenpox and a sunburn from the top of my scalp to the bottom of the soles of my feet and it eventually affecting my breathing which is why they had to take me off of the Lyrica! I got off the Lyrica and I got rid of the burning mouth syndrome but it took about a month! I noticed a dramatic difference in the first few days and it slowly got better and better but it actually took about a whole year before I didn't have any noticeable effects from it anymore. FYI I was on hormone replacement therapy and also using steroids for asthma.
I always get this syndrome so many times, every month always get it. So uncomfortable, and sometimes it getting more severe. I eat enough vegetables and fruits daily plus have sufficient vitamins supplement, but don't know why it's often happened to me 😓
I've learned that you can eat all of those and still not be able to absorb the vitamins correctly. I'm one of those people who can't absorb vitamin B12 through foods or multivitamins. It doesn't hurt to get tested to see if you're deficient in any of these vitamins. Rule that out first.
I've had this for the past 2 week and it is severe in pain, literally stops you sleeping the pain is that bad but I find chewing gum helps a lot and plenty of milk.
Wow. Burning mouth syndrome literally drove my sister in law mad. She went to many, many doctors who deemed it was all "in her head". She eventually committed suicide. You are definitely saving lives, Dr Berg.
Very sad. God bless.
OMG, that's so sad. I'm sorry. I know what it's like to have doctors tell you it's in your head. I suffered for years with many seemingly unrelated symptoms among them horrible sores. Doctors never put them all together and told me I was causing it. Finally I found a Doctor who said I have allergies to foods. He sent me to an allergist who confirmed his diagnosis. Turns out the things I'm able to eat make up a far shorter list than those I'm allergic to. This started in my 30s and found this doctor in my late 60s. Now at 72 I am healthier than ever and all symptoms are gone unless I accidentally eat something on the allergic list.

Burning mouth can also be an "oral allergy syndrome" where you eat a certain raw fruit or vegetable and your body responds to pollen in it.
I would get canker sores a day after I eat oranges, pineapples, lemons, limes, grapefruits and tangerines. Had that issue ever since I was 6 years old. I avoid those foods now and as long as I do, I don't get the canker sores.
Affected individuals often complains of burning pain of the oral mucosa preferably on the tongue accompanied by other sensory disorders such as dry mouth, altered taste sensation.
m experiencx all of these symptoms
None of my Dr's have a clue about BMS....I myself am feed up with this mouth pain, so thank you for your information. Now I can ask them to check my levels. ❤
My doctor told me to stop using toothpaste that had either peroxide or whiteners in them. Also no mouthwash. Within a few days my burning mouth was gone!
My patience burns up awaiting new videos!
B6, B12, Folic acid and zinc helps with burning mouth syndrome
Thank you Dr berg!!
Hi Doc, an 82 year old male veteran here, I got the dreaded BMS or something similar as described It is no fun, I had it for two months Very little sleep I went to the hosp. here in Salem Or, Told them what was bothering me Without a swab or even looking at my mouth they prescribed a large lozenge and a compound wash to get at Walgreens and get rid of me Walgreens said they couldn't make it because they didn't have a license to compound but they sold me the parts to compound, as if I'm licensed Idiotic This didn't work Your suggestion of vitamins and zinc DID! Within two days this thrush or whatever was gone with my wallet being no lighter for your advice Thank you, thankyou, thank you! Your ethics are in doc Now I lay me down to sleep
I had this for two years and yes it started about when I entered menopause. But when doing a search one day I saw a website mentioning that aspartame could cause the burning mouth syndrome. Then it clicked. I was chewing a lot of gum back then with aspartame, so I stopped immediately and less than a week later the burning was gone. Might be a coincidence, but I thought I should mention it .
I have been chewing a lot of sugar free gum with aspartame also ....
Artificial sweeteners bother me as well. Anything sugar free unless it’s stevia. Stevia doesn’t bother me.
Great information, doctor! I developed this issue about 3 months ago. Thank you for your guidance.❤️😊🇨🇦
Thank You, Dr. Berg!!! Always useful and timely information that is actually of benefit to so many and passed along that others not aware may start to feel better sooner than later! Keep up the great works, you are appreciated! Best wishes and Prayer's to you and yours!
Thank you for posting this information! Right on time!
Very glad to be of help.
This is the first video that makes sense to me. I have struggled with low estrogen and I have type 1 diabetes which is as diagnosed with 4 years ago. I got burning mouth syndrome at the same time.
Thank you for the amazing information always 💛🙏
Love Dr. Berg and all these videos he posts every day.
You're very wise man and I wish you were my doctor
I just had this yesterday! Lifesaver
Yes! Started with menopause for me and is why I keep a glass of cold water with me at all times. Carnivore definitely improves the burning and crazy dry mouth. Going to up my B-vitamins to see if that helps as well. Thank you Dr. Berg!
I find sucking on ice cubes to give immediate pain relief, but does not make it go away. Vaseline helps with the cracked dry lips.
Please don't give up; I am dealing with this too; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription.
Ever since I used your neck device and it fixed my neck after two uses... I can now sleep on my side after 4 years of not being able to sleep on my side without getting up not able to walk good due to bad lower back pain it caused!! It is amazing!!! Before even 5 mins laying on my side would pull my lower back so bad id walk around like a old man for weeks! Now I can sleep entire nights on my side like I use to!!! What a life changing device!
Oh my gosh, I have this! Was looking for video on peripheral neuropathy and found this. Will try all these supplement and see how it goes. Now back to looking for neuropathy info.
There is a condition which can also cause the mouth to burn. Oral Lichen Planus
It is an autoimmune condition. Your Dentist may send you to an oral surgeon to have a biopsy done. Your tongue and inside of your cheeks will burn, especially after eating or drinking certain foods.
Jesus Christ!! I have been to TWO urgent cares (that said it was an allergic reaction), seen two allergists (one said it was a viral infection while I was still wearing my mask and the other told me I had burning mouth syndrome but didn't know why) and seen two other primaries (that said it was an allergic reaction) trying to figure out why I have this. Until yesterday, my third urgent care a doctor told me it may be due to my acid...that has to do with my b12 (maybe a deficiency)..that has to do with my metformin...that has to do with my prediabetes and pre/peri-menopause (not sure of the order). I don't want to think about the insurance co-pays. If only I'd seen this video beforehand. YOU ARE A GENIUS!!!!! Thank you for this. My lips were swollen, everything on fire even while drinking cold water. I couldn't eat and whatever I did, I couldn't keep down. Almost three weeks to finally get here. Thank God for the Magic Mouthwash (prescribed mouthwash that numbs everything) that helped me eat. But without taste--I lost my taste--everything taste like paper. Yes, we've all chewed on paper as a kid, right? That's what food taste like now. Or this could've been due to my daily grapefruit I used to eat to avoid getting kidney stones because the citrate helps keep the calcium and oxalate from forming crystals-pretty stones that hurt. I had this twice. And also had an issue on my foot that they thought was gout--but wasn't. `Maybe it's the salt--makes me swell up in my fingers.

I hope you are praying to Jesus and not just swearing or using his name in vain. He is the great physician and can actually heal you. God bless.
When I was a child I has this for long periods of time and I remember the feeling, as if my tongue was burning. I think I was deficient in B12 and iron and was eating a lot of sugar
I have this and i also eat a ton of sugar daily
About 5 1/2 years ago, I had been dealing with so many disorders for most of my adult life. Schizoaffective disorder, rheumatoid arthritis, seizures, too many more to mention and burning tongue syndrome was one of them too.
I figured out that gluten was the cause of all my illnesses 🤦♀️
I’ve been off gluten for about 5 years now. I’m still healing but most of my symptoms are gone, including my burning tongue 🙌😊
WOW!! So happy to hear you’re doing better.
@@donnaml8776 … Oh, thank you so much 🤗
The fact that I’m making this comment with a clear, conscious and stable mind is a miracle in and of itself 🙏❤️
@@alexab2016 Many health issues are related to foods and how they were grown, where grown, how packaged (some leeches into the foods) and what chemicals were used and then some. Used to be you just ate for health. Now you have to worry what you eat is what's causing bad health. So it is kind of funny if an unsafe car is on the road it is removed when it is discovered unsafe or via vehicle inspection time. Yet, we have a USDA and FDA that approves all this garbage food that is consumed unknowingly by the consumer that it can be the very thing causing many health issues for so many suffering ill health. So in the end it makes you wonder why vehicles are given higher safety priority than foods consumed that can affect a persons ability to function well enough to even drive a killing machine (vehicles) safely. Funny how so many things have connections not thought of to even be associated with health. Such as, allergies to pollen that may be in or on a food, food dyes, food additives, food preservatives, food emulsifiers, food flavor enhancers, wheat, sugar (and because they removed fats from foods they pumped up those flavor enhancers sugar and salt that are so harmful and then have the nerve to say don't know why childhood obesity is on the rise, HBP -High Blood Pressure is up and on the rise, Strokes and Heart Attacks are on the rise, and on and on) and those others not remembered right off. People now get to play doctor to try to figure out what is wrong because most doctors of today give another pill to treat a side effect of medication(s) instead of helping to find what caused the issue(s) in the first place so you can eliminate medicine altogether or take fewer. Legalized drug pushing merry go round of pharmaceutical's padding their bottom lines comes to mind otherwise doctors would get more than 2 1/2 weeks of Nutrition studies in all their years of schooling as told to me by a doctor. Very sad they place nutrition last when that is the very core of our being, the foundation we start out on, and the very thing that gives good health or bad health and life above all. Somehow in todays medicine foods don't matter as much as pushing drug therapy along with junk foods and even sadder is those talked to who now think drugs are a better option over eating right and adding supplements and exercise. Food is so devoid of nutrients that it becomes almost imperative to supplement! Dr. Berg is a treasure and so glad he chose to offer free self help to people. I pass his information on to anyone open minded (some have even stated their doctor told them they cannot take any vitamin's. Not sure if it really was said or said so they can have an excuse for not doing self help as some do because they think drug therapy is a better choice for them when it is not in many cases. Yes, if really sick medication is needed, to control some illnesses, too. But many illnesses can be fixed via better dietary intake and exercise and can then get off medication's, but do not. Willing to help themselves feel better through knowledge, nutrition, supplements and exercise as needed goes a long way towards better health! Hard to find, but the few doctor's online giving freely of their knowledge for health are the real doctors in life nowadays truly looking to help people be or get healthier!!! May Dr.Berg and the few others on YT always be Blessed!!! All best wishes and Prayer's for YOUR continued health success, too!!! Glad you have found some things that worked out for you. I remember reading years ago lack of some vitamin's can cause schizophrenic like symptoms in people and other issues, and who knows how many more health issues it can cause in total and drug therapy is pushed instead of nutrition. Sad where things are today. 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
@@AFineLineA ….. Your comment brought me to tears. I have had so many specialists and doctors, putting me on this meds and that meds. I was on 17 different medications at one point.
They were only treating my symptoms as they cropped up, never looking at why I was deteriorating so much at a fairly young age.
I literally figured it out myself five and a half years ago. One day, I decided to google my top 20 symptoms at the same time in the search bar….a lot of info came up about celiacs and gluten sensitivity…so I decided to take it out of my diet for 30 days to see if I felt any different…long story short, here I am over 5 years later, I’m on zero medication and getting better every day. I don’t eat processed food anymore since most of it contains gluten or may contain gluten anyway.
I found Dr Berg while I was researching ways to heal myself. He’s been a complete God send to me. I cured my candida thanks and praise to Dr Berg. I tell everyone I know about him. Even my 75 year old mother who thinks the entire internet is contained in a single office building somewhere on the planet 😅. But she knows how to get on UA-cam with her pen and paper ready to watch Dr Berg 🥰
Thank you so much for your kind words, Bless you always ❤️
@@alexab2016 hope you continue to heal.
Thank you for that, that’s the first time I’ve had an explanation of that afflection😢
Blessed Doctor
I have had BMS for 2 years. I went to the doctor a week ago, told her that's what I had as all the symptoms were the same. She put me onto Amitriptyline 10 MG. It seems to have done the trick, pain in mouth and tongue has gone after having it every day, what a relief!
I was told by a doctor that my cervical spine ( C1,C2 ) were pinching a nerve that relates to the tongue causing my tongue to feel it was burning. I have been very keen to keep up with all my vitamin supplements since I'm 72 years old. I had a chiropractor manipulate my c1 and c2 and it has decreased the burning sensation. Just to give another thing to look into.
Thank you for giving useful information.
My pleasure.
Love u dr berg your helping millions ❤
Great info!
Hello Dr. Berg. This is a great video for a very unique (idiopathic) problem. I am a male, and have had this problem in the past. Could you also address this issue with males (men) and what to do about it.?
I am dealing with this too; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription
Thanks. I had this. Now that I’m on a carnivore diet, it’s gone. I hadn’t even noticed.
I am 67 years old and this all started back this year in February and it’s a nonstop thing
Sorry to hear that. Hope the info here will help you.
I will tell you the cause of burning mouth syndrome because I have suffered with it. It has to do with the hiatal hernia. You will notice your tongue starts burning after a meal and then subsequently bending over or lifting. It is sending stomach acid up through the esophagus into the mouth and occasionally into the nasal passages. Doctors and Internet could not help me but I did identify this. Stress alone, example being fear, will also cause the diaphragm to tighten sending up acid from the stomach and causing burning tongue syndrome.
this is one of many causes of BMS :(
I also had burning in my mouth and even in my ears believe it or not ... caused from acid reflux which my doctor diagnosed as dust allergies.
I started taking a proton pump inhibitor after a year of pain and suffering and it went away. The burning in my mouth , tongue and swollen lips I'm experiencing now is different ...I do believe it is a vitamin b deficiency because I have stage 3 liver disease caused from having hepatitis C that my HMO didn't pick up on even though I had complained for 30 years of pain in my upper area where my liver is and told the doctors that I had 2 eight hour surgeries five days apart in Queens Medical Hospital in Honolulu Hawaii
30 years prior. Finally a doctor listened to me and ran tests ...found I have hepatitis C ....
This makes a lot of sense. How did they treat your hernia?
I have a hernia and then got the worse case of acid reflux which never caused a burning chest but I had burning throat, ears and nose, couldn't eat properly for months as food felt stuck. I had a numb face on one side, and still have low saliva, numb tongue and constant burning and cracked mouth. I can't get back to normal, its terrible
@@christinedennison7770hi dear I have same issue severe burning in tongue ears and throat I can't eat anything 😢
This used to drive me crazy! I thought my thyroid was causing it. I do supplement with many of Dr. Berg’s suggestions now which help greatly, but also had a HUGE breakthrough when I simply changed toothpastes!! It was the SLS ingredient that is in most toothpastes that caused my mouth to burn and breakout in ulcers. Then I also began taking 800 mg of olive leaf extract a day and the thrush problem disappeared. Happy mouth!:)
What toothpaste are you using now? I use Tom’s without fluoride. I started feeling burning in my tongue last week.
@@debonisasarab5567 I really like Himalaya. Been using it for years with good dental reports. It’s free of all irritants. I just picked up another brand at my dentist’s office by Periosciences that promises additional care naturally. If you have mouth irritation a lot, I’ll share the recipe I got at a Mayo Clinic…one part Malanta or similar liquid anti acid , and one part children’s liquid Benedryl. It’s called ‘Magic Mouthwash’, and really is!! Just mix together and swish after brushing. Brings relief to canker sores and other irritation over night!:)
What kind of toothpaste are you using?
You cured me,I had burning mouth,my tongue and lips were burning bad,lips felt like they had little cuts in them and mostly the end of my tongue was burning,I've had cancer,they cut out my voice box so when anything happens to my mouth I panic,but I watched your vids on burning tonue and burning mouth,it calmed me down some,I tried salt water and it helped,I used pink salt,a very weak mix,I put alittle in moush,swish it around,and just hold it for awhile then swallow it,I could tell a difference right away,I had to repeat it every hour or two,but it was really helping,,next day onld had to do it a couple times,now today ,not at all
Thank you for this!
I have this. I am 40 years old, male. Its a strange thing. Sometimes I have it bad. Some days I don't have it at all. I think grinding your teeth might also contribute to it too. I personally notice that when I eat bad food ( pizza from big chain) I have so much pain on my mouth the next day probably cheese and gluten) When I eat properly ( keto) and wear my night guards, i have no pain the next day. Also, TMJ exercises ( find on youtube) have really helped reduce the grinding.
Good luck to all of you
Thank you Dr. Berg
It's the acid in the tomato sauce
Thank you love,i m not yet in menopause.happyyyyy
thanks so much for this info👍 how many units do you recomend?
You are most welcome!
Drinking celery juice helps my burning tongue. I drink fresh celery juice first thing in the morning a few times a week. So glad because I was miserable for years. I am post menopausal. I believe I have blood sugar handling issues and possible NAFLD. Drinking coffee made it worse for me.
I have know choice, it’s I am really suffering with this issue and pain. Thank you Dr I will try,
Appreciate you watching this. Hope it helps! Keep me posted!
can you please make a post menopausal supplement?
Thanks for asking! I want to introduce you to a very well-researched remedy that’s a bioidentical compound, Pueraria Mirifica. Make sure it’s authentic. You want it to be from Thailand, not China, so it’s high quality. Check this out! 👉 ua-cam.com/video/iHrP06tUQu8/v-deo.html

Thank you doc but I literally tried everything. It comes and goes in waves. Some days are better than others.
Idiopathic, a fancy word for I don't have a clue.

My autistic son has burning EAR syndrome...I’m praying this will help him too. 🙏🙏🙏
Hi everyone, i also had a very painful burning sensation in my mouth. My iron, ferretine, b12, folic acid and hb were all low. I bought alpha lipoic acid, zink, and all the vitamine that were low and sometimes I used more than recommended haha. And now the burning is almost gone and wanted to share with you, and hopefully it will help you too
I had burning mouth syndrome when I was under a great deal of stress. It was premenopause. I went to an oral surgeon who didn't know a lot about it but suggested B12. I started taking it everyday and I had to avoid certain foods, ice cream, hotdogs just to name a couple that I remember the most. It took a while but it finally got better, I would say at least a few months. I haven't had it since and that was about 20 years ago.
Oh god.
Please help me!
@dmk3account684 how many months would you say it took to go away?
It was a long time ago so hard to remember. I think the worst of it was about 3 months. Completely gone in about six months. The B 12 worked for me. @@rommajiwan1972
I've had this on and off since 2015. A year ago I began taking a calcium, magnesium, zinc with D3 supplement and the pain stopped.
how much ? mg?
@jorge bc Spring Valley supplements (one tablet) D3 600 IU, calcium 1000 mg, magnesium 400 mg, zinc 15 mg. The bottle recommends three tablets, but I only take one.
I am not sure if it is the combination of this supplement or one of the individual minerals. All I know is when I stop it, the pain comes back. I hope this helps.
@@irishpixierose Thank you very much for your answer, I will try it. I am helped by a mixture of ginger and cloves. It calms the feeling on my tongue during the day.
Thank you. The only thing is I'm not ppst menopause. But B12 deficiency I do have.
I don't have the condition, but I think both fish (like salmon) and eggs are full of B12.
Dr berg please make a video about streptococcus skin infection
Dr. Berg, I would like to thank you so much for such efforts to help people stay healthy.
Actually I have lost taste sense with my tongue tip, it got so soft, and it always hurts. Is there a way to fix this .
Thank you again 🌹❤
I have the same problem. I have been on vitamin tablets since last month but it didn't solve the issue. If you found the remedy can you suggest it for me.
Helpful video! Thank you! Nexium, vitamin d, and b and avoiding some foods helps me. I do have flareups , but I’m better than I was.
I am taking nexum and banana shake daily.but no cure . please tell me your experience
@@neelambuttt7423 Nexium was a temporary cure because it really is a bad idea long term to lower your stomach acid. Now I use digestive enzymes with probiotics in the morning and a product called acid relief 360 (I believe that’s the correct name) at night. It’s taken a long time but I do feel better.
What about foods and drinks that can lubricate the mouth? Any suggestions? I've been sticking with the lemon water and apple cider vinegar but do you recommend any other?
Merci Dr Berg.
Thanks for following!
Thank you !!!
I thought I had a vitamin deficiency. Turns out I developed a tree nut allergy in my late 50’s! Within a couple of hours after eating tree nuts (almonds, walnuts, etc) my tongue would get sore and burn. Took me a while to figure it out. Maybe this will help someone. Oh, and BTW, I have also learned peanuts are a bean and not a tree nut, and I can have those. :)
I think it’s some sort of allergy too. Burning is intermittent so difficult to pinpoint because I eat and drink the same things most days. Coffee, toothpaste, vitamins? I’ve learned to live with it but it drives me crazy trying to figure it out. Glad it’s a “syndrome “. Have had it forever, pre and post menopausal.
Should I buy these separately, or are there tablets with these in it. Please
This happened to me and my hormone levels had bottomed out. My test levels were below 200 and free was at 4. This led to crazy insomnia and my body started to show signs of malnutrition. Since getting on trt everything has improved.
I just self diagnosed myself with BMS. I think mine is due to alcoholism/diabetes. A teaspoon of Baking Soda mixed with a cup of warm water helps with the acid part sometimes. I have to look into this B12. Hopefully it will get rid of it.
I've had this for 11 years. Caused by a stay in hospital losing blood through a bowel issue. The hospital did nothing to stop the blood loss and the BMS started two days after discharge. The nerve end are damaged and take years to heel but they so sensitive even raising my voice can ignite it again and it gets far worse, then takes weeks to ease off. Its a horrendous condition and my GP surgery have been completely useless. I'm 73 and they ruined my life.
Can peri-menopause cause burning mouth as well as I have only started getting the problem over the past 18 months!!! I still have a cycle but I also have PCOS. I never had this problem before!!! I am 8 days keto following you!!!!!!
Yep my mother had burning mouth and the B12 was prescribed by her doctor and all is well.
does she still experience pain
I have this horrible Burning on my tongue 👅 this started 1week ago . I also had My R side Thyroid removed. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it. What is your recommendation. Also I keep on biting my tongue due to dental issues. Thank you.
i had it and still have it .. the only thing that takes it away is Zanax I tried everything.. this works but its not a cure .. now without it .. its a nerve condition in my teeth .. even if I had root canals the teeth still hurt which tells me its coming from the roots in the jaws .. If I can get rid of this condition I would be so happy!!! over 10 years!!!
Hi. Can you talk about vaping + diet
Dr. Berg, Is burning mouth also related to a choppy/cut tongue? I am in Israel and I hope they will check for B12 when i do bloodwork. I have this for about 5 weeks and it seems to be getting worse. I am 56 years old. I have learned so much from your video's. Thank you. RW. Israel.

The Drs. thought I was nuts when I said my mouth has been burning for months. They told me to stop the spicy foods. They were no help.
I totally relate; I have lost track of the many dentists I have seen; yesterday I saw a doctor who told me to take Alpha Lipoic Acid ( 600 mg) and apply Dexamethasone 0.5 to the areas that are burning; it is helping me a lot. It is a prescription
Can I take just B complex and zinc?
sir can you talk about cbd oil or something similar with this?
Question: here Dr Berg you mention FOLIC ACID, shouldn’t that be FOLATE? Or does that not matter?
It’s amazing how important B vitamins are after menopause. Really amazing!! And being that most B vitamins are water soluble you’d need to replace them daily because they won’t be stored in your body. That’s my understanding anyway, so if I’m wrong please let me know, I’m willing to learn, lol.
Ur probably right i forgot on the synthetic questiôn go look it up the doc has a solution
Yes, you want the non-synthetic B9, folate or methylfolate.
@@Drberg thank you
@@AUSTIN-ss2zd very nice of Dr Berg to answer the question.
Folate and folic acid are the same.
Folate is natural b9 and folic acid is synthetic b9 ....
It seems there are a lot of underlying causes that could lead to BMS. I have another--I developed BMS about a month after getting new Invisalign retainers. I had worn them for years with no problem. Maybe the new ones were of a different make-up. I stopped wearing them and the problem improved 80% after two days. I’m 95% back to normal after 2 weeks. I found out online that there are many others with reactions to these plastic retainers. So for me, it was an allergic reaction.
Burning mouth syndrome has been driving me crazy for the past year. I had a full hysterectomy last may because I had stage 1 ovarian cancer. Not too long after the surgery I got a staph infection on my tongue that led to burning mouth syndrome. But I don’t have any estrogen in my body or progesterone either. It’s been driving me crazy for a year.
I'm not even close to menopause and I have this. It's more towards my throat and it recently started after being on the keto diet for a few months. It happens with different foods so there's no pattern. At least now I know I'm not an alien 😀
Did it get better? We’re you eating a lot of sugar free foods?
@@kahlymerin4882 It comes and goes but doesn't last long. I eat some sugar free foods but it happens with other foods too. Idk about everyone else but it seems like it has to do with foods that are fake carbs. Like "fiber" or "protein" breads. Carbquik type things.

He said the cause of them isn't really known I started using Orageel and the condition worsened . Coincidence ? I don't know but I switched to a salt water rinse tonight . Will see in the A.M.
I'm 45 and I've been dealing with this horribly painful geographic tongue looking thing for the past 5 months and I'm going nuts. I'm basically blending all my food, using a straw and being extremely cautious of what I eat just like you. My throat also feels like there was heat or fire inside and the inside of my gumline is red and irritated. Also a lot less saliva. I haven't had Covid, but this all started 3 weeks after my first and only Pfizer vaccine.

Hi Dr. Berg, I’ve been having BMS since last year and I’m not even 30 yet, the symptoms started after suffering from severe anxiety attack, it subsided a bit in the past months and recently it’s suddenly getting really bad again, I’ve been taking B1, B12 and oryzanol and didn’t seem to help too much. Any suggestions on those cases that’s not related to menopause but caused by anxiety physical symptoms?
Check parathyroid and thyroid.
My specialist said that stress is the biggest cause because of low estrogen and higher cortisol after menopause.
I'm a male with this condition, which first appeared during a time of very high stress at age 43 as a tongue irritation, kindof like I had something stuck in my teeth. It's incredibly annoying. I'm currently pre-diabetic on keto for 6 months but it has persisted. I'll try zinc supplements. This is more productive advice than I've received from any ENT specialist. They just say "stay hydrated".
Hope you will be well then!

Many doctors say its a problem with the nuriopathic problem in the mouth not lack of estrogen nor vitamin deficiency
Hi Dr Berg, can you PLEASE do a video all about secondary bile salts? Why you would have basically none, how to get them back... Anything and everything you know and can come up with🙏🏻
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

I got this with post Menopause. Strict carnivore diet has helped.

I only had burning mouth syndrome under one condition when I was temporarily in the nursing home and I was having a huge change in my dietary foods and also I was put on Lyrica and not taking off even though I was having symptoms I ended up having a huge allergic reaction to the Lyrica. It felt like I had chickenpox and a sunburn from the top of my scalp to the bottom of the soles of my feet and it eventually affecting my breathing which is why they had to take me off of the Lyrica! I got off the Lyrica and I got rid of the burning mouth syndrome but it took about a month! I noticed a dramatic difference in the first few days and it slowly got better and better but it actually took about a whole year before I didn't have any noticeable effects from it anymore. FYI I was on hormone replacement therapy and also using steroids for asthma.
I also heared that neck cause burning mouth syndrom. Is it true?
I always get this syndrome so many times, every month always get it.
So uncomfortable, and sometimes it getting more severe. I eat enough vegetables and fruits daily plus have sufficient vitamins supplement, but don't know why it's often happened to me 😓
I've learned that you can eat all of those and still not be able to absorb the vitamins correctly. I'm one of those people who can't absorb vitamin B12 through foods or multivitamins. It doesn't hurt to get tested to see if you're deficient in any of these vitamins. Rule that out first.
Молодец ,спасибо!
I've had this for the past 2 week and it is severe in pain, literally stops you sleeping the pain is that bad but I find chewing gum helps a lot and plenty of milk.
