My tongue hurts!!

:)

Has anyone had this happen when they first started to detox? My tongue stings!! It's as if it's not used to eating so much fruit or something. It's not like I never ate fruit before, but I think my tongue is getting an overload!

Hmmm....I haven't had any pineapple, but I did have a bar yesterday that may have had pineapple in it. I also had some kiwi this morning. OK...note to self, cut down on the kiwi! :D

Mine felt sort of "sore" like a minor throbbing but that went away quckly. I still have a thick yellow coating on my tongue that is yet to go away.

If it hurts too much and is bleeding too,-this is one of the strongest sympthoms of v. B12 deficiency. Hope it's not that. Get well soon.

I get that if I eat too much pineapple, for me, it's the bromeline in the pineapple, which is literally eating away at the cells in your tongue, it's good for you though, they even have "bromelin" tablets they subscribe 2 ppl for different reasons.

However, I don't know how much fruit you are eating, but yes, I guess it could be that it's not accustomed to lots of fruit and it is your bodies way of detoxing. IMO anyway.

Or maybe u ate too much pineapple hehe:P

My daughter told me the best way to "cure" a pineapple is to bring it home, wait until it gets really yellow/golden, then cut the green part off, place cut side down in bowl in fridge at least overnight. This allows the acids and sugars to drain down. It really, really works.

I used to have to stop eating fresh pineapple because of the burning. But now I let them ripen, cut off the green, put cut side down in bowl in fridge at minimum overnight and it is so very sweet and never, ever burns my tongue.

I have even left it cut in the fridge for a week or more...

Hm, I've never had that happem before. Sometimes though if I eat to much citrus I get mild heartburn :P
