So the taste happened suddenly-as I was starting menopause. Felt like bumps were on my tongue, but nothing was there. Even had a tongue biopsy. I tried changing diet, but couldn’t find a pattern that made sense.. it seems that food calms my tongue down- especially chewing gum. I know this whole thing is so odd. The ulcers were found from me having reflux for about a month, had an endoscopy and they found them. I don’t know if the taste was from the ulcers and went away when ulcers did. Or if the pantaprozale was a cure for the taste. I just know I was so thankful, and relieved for a few years. Can’t figure out why they are back because I don’t seem to have any stomach issues. Do you find it’s worse at night and you don’t wake up with it?? Do you have the air bubbles in your mouth?? Constantly swallow? What I meant by vacation is it seems if I’m busy and not thinking about it, it’s not there. But when I’m aware of it, and swollowing, it gets worse.. you reminded me about vitamin b. I don’t take it every day, but I will start to.

Interesting information.
Mine happened suddenly. Menopause….maybe, but no other symptoms. Thought I was done. I do have frequent night awakening , but not due to taste, Exploring HRT.
I don’t have air bubbles. No bumps either. No constant swallowing either.
Had you had any dental work done? I did have significant work done months prior.
I don’t think I have ulcers. I’m being tested for SIBO in Feb. I have no stomach pain, no nausea, no heartburn, etc.
It doesn’t keep me awake and is less upon awakening, but it’s always present.
I actually had an appointment with a therapist to get hypnotized to deal with it, but cancelled, because I thought my B12 therapy would help it. Out of pocket costs, insurance doesn’t pay.
B12 has helped me with a lot of things, but I am now wary of the daily mega doses I was prescribed. My kidney lab test (still normal, but down) was down a little from last year and I can’t help but wonder if that is what caused it. I’m exploring that now. Please get tested before starting with supplements.
I will look forward to seeing how you’re doing. I have searched a lot and there aren’t many who report this kind of thing. I did find something about covid tongue, but will have to look up the link again. Just a possibility.
