Sore Tongue

Which part?

When I first got ill, when I extended my tongue far to the left or the right, I felt pain at the base of the tongue on the opposite side (!). I believe now it was a weird B vitamin deficiency. Supplementing with B vitamins may help; a number of vague and individually variable maladies can be caused by B vitamin deficiencies, which are common in Crohn's due to the damage caused to the intestines.

Yup, classic sign of anemia as described above.

Also common in chron's is a white ulcer in the throat or palate occassionally on the inside of the cheek. For that take lysine and B vitamins. Those ulcers can also form anywhere in the digestive tract and can also be caused by certain medications.

frar, I'm not sure which meds your on currently, but while I was on a high dose of pred I developed a "fuzzy" tongue.  It wasnt sore but I had a white almost fuzzy look to it...its a side effect of the pred, its a fungus but its treated very quickly with medication.

I have experienced sore tongue, it was so bad that i was not eating well and did not want talk much. I saw a GI, dermatologist and 2 general practices and they could not figure out what was my problem. I did blood test to check any deficiencies of vitamin b, the resul was ok. I went to a healthy shop and i bought a complex of vitamin b. The sore of my tongue disappeared, it was a relief for me. I hope this is going to help you, good lucky!

I did see my primary care doc and she thinks I have "mouth,foot and hand disease"...usually only children get this but with an autoimmune disease like Crohn's adults can acquire it also.. 48 hours should tell for certain if that is indeed what I have.

Frar, I worked in a day car center once that had an outbreak of that disease-if you have sores on your feet and in your mouth she is probably right. Those comprimised imune systems will get us every time.
