For the past ten years or so, I have been living with a condition called
geographic tongue. While it looks weird, doctors claim that it is harmless. Most of the time, it was painless, but, once in a while, my tongue would become more inflamed and hurt. The cause of geographic tongue is unknown; although, it may be related to yeast or allergies. Both of which make sense in my life; however, whether or not allergies or yeast was acting up, the geographic tongue remained. I also had ridges along the sides of my tongue due to imprintation of teeth against an inflamed tongue. I had actually started working through an elimination diet to figure out what was causing the inflammation (or even geographic tongue) when I accidentally discovered the cure. I feel like Jonas Salk!
