Change your toothpaste.  I got hold of a tube that I don't use and when I ate anything on Monday, my mouth was burning - especially after jam and a slice of cheesecake   

SLS can cause this symptom.  It's in a lot of beauty products including toothpastes.  By the way, I stood for 40 mins. a couple of years ago and read all the colgate packets - despite them claiming different results, the ingredients were exactly the same in order and quantity 

[Lucyjo]

Morning ladies,
CLKD - which toothpaste do you recommend?

Pamabz - thank you for the recommendation of the hrt. I will try the new gp at our practice & plead with him!!!!

[CLKD]

I use Colgate - a little at a time.  Otherwise bananas, chocolate, toast, marmalade all makes my mouth burn. 

[Lucyjo]

Thanks CLKD, sorry I didn't read your previous post properly!!!
I should have realised you use colgate x

[CLKD]

That's fine!  Give it a try ...........

[JaneinPen]

Thanks for that CLKD. I will give it a go. The other problem I have of late is of a very sore mouth if I eat certain things. For instance I ate a cheese sandwich the other day. The cheese was only a little more mature than I normally eat and since then it is like I have burnt my mouth in several places with a too hot drink. I also find that I can't actually take my drinks as hot as I used to be able too or I get welts in my mouth (sad face)

Dear Pamabz - I have been to the docs this morning & he has given me hrt patches!!! Alleluia! Can't collect them till Friday though. He didn't seem to think that they would help the BMS but I stuck it out & said I wanted to try. Have to go back in 2 months - can't tell you what they are as I don't have them yet but fingers crossed & thanks for your recommendation x

I hope you see some improvement with your bms on the patches.
It certainly improved mine although my tongue and mouth is not feeling normal.
Does anyone else have :
lump in throat
salty taste
acid taste
slimy film/coating over teeth and tongue
as well as the burning tongue?
Just like to know I am not the only one!

Hi Annie,
I do have lack of taste as well as the burning tongue & roof of mouth & a salty yukky flavour most of the time!
Just stuck my first patch on - any idea how long before I see any results?? Not that I'm impatient or anything lol!

My husband has developed Burning Mouth Syndrome has been to the doctor and has been trying several different toothpastes. Finally he finds Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief the best to keep on top of it and cleaning his teeth more than twice a day if necessary.
Having read on this thread about a link to Thyroid though he may need his medication checking at annual review next week. I'm beginning to wonder why the doctor didn't think of it.

Hi Gangan, thanks for the toothpaste info. Sorry to hear about your husband - it is an awful, depressing condition.Please let us know how he gets on at his review x

[AnnieR66]

Hi Lucyjo, I saw an improvement within a week, I would say all my issues seemed 90% better, however this only lasted 2 months and I don't feel as good now but still better than before the hrt.
I'm wondering if the surge of hormones in the patch helped at first and then my body just got used to it?
I really don't know, let's hope you have some success!
Hi sparkle, yes I do have reflux and heartburn, had endoscopy, nothing unusual found, the only time I've ever had this was in my pregnancies so I do wonder if it's hormonal.
All the best Annie x

[Lucyjo]

Hi Ladies, just wondered if anyone felt rough when they first started evorel conti patches? I'm on day 3 now & feel awful - feel sick, headache, stomach pains, thigh pains. I was so looking forward to these & now feel rotten!

[CLKD]

Is this burning mouth or other symptoms Lucyjo?

Mine was bad this morning - unable to eat my muesli or toast 

[Lucyjo]

Hi CLKD, my burning mouth is just as bad - no change.
Feel better in general today than yesterday - not dizzy or sick or premenstrual.
Sorry to hear your mouth is bad as well x
