everything I eat is burning my tongue

WTF? 

EVERYTHING is burning my tongue.  All day.  What gives!?  I had an apple with lunch.  Tongue on fire.  I'm having some grapes now.  Tongue aflame.  I eat a piece of candy corn?  I want to cry.  Iced tea burns, ramen noodles burn, you name it!

It's kind of like when you eat something super acidic and it hurts your tongue - pineapples always do this to me - but it's EVERYTHING I EAT today...

    Does your tongue look red or have any funny white spots?  My grandmother has something called Geographic tongue, and it caused that problem.  Her tongue was bright red.

    I have had strawberries make my tongue burn the past couple months, but nothing else.  I don't know why everything including candy corn would make it burn though.

    That is weird.  Does your tongue look normal?
    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...

    Normal for me, yes.  normal for others, no.  This does happen to be fairly often, just not as bad as it's happening today.  My husband gets totally freaked out about it, but my tongue will get these big circular spots that actually look burned or something.  No idea why.  Then eventually it just - goes away.

    OMG.  I googled this.  It's totally this!  Mystery solved.  Things I can do about it: none.

    I needed to know what this was, so I googled it also. Interesting... It says it can be caused by a vitamin B deficiency, which can also be caused by pregnancy. I know you said you've had this problem before. Do you take a B supplement? Maybe that would help?
