Weird problem - tongue problems

I had an RNY Dec 2011 and have done very well.  I work hard to get in my protein, but am not terribly successful.  I do take all the vitamins, take double B 12 and B complex.  My tongue is red, swollen and painful.  I've added folic acid, but can't seem to find any other causes or solutions.  Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks.

The only suggestion I have is to call your doctor on Monday and get his professional input...Maybe your taking too much of a drug...Your doctor is there to help you.  Ask for the doctor to call you.  The nurse may be knowledgeable but ask for him.  She will most likely ask him anyway.

 

That is all I can add.  I can't even get my vits to go down.  They sit in my chest and I feel so full.

I think I take a thousand pills aday and some capsules are huge !  and take 3 at a time.  I think that is the calcium pill.  I have to take one at a time and then I am full.

 

Good Luck, alese

I'd call the dr. It probably has nothing to do with bypass but you should have it examined immediately due to the fact what if your throught swells and swells shut?

Anemia or other nutritional deficiencies may cause that.http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossitis

Request a detailed blood work, including complete iron panel..

Can be a symptom of several nutritional deficiencies, including B12 and iron deficiency.  When's the last time you had labs done?  What was your B12 level?  Iron and ferritin levels?

I had my labs done two months ago.  My iron is still low, so I've doubled my chewable iron. My B12 is actually about double the normal range.  I didn't see iron as a cause, just B12 and folic acid.  I moved out of state, so I will call the surgeon tomorrow.

 

Thanks.

Could be thrush....call the doc

I got that last year.    Call your doctor.  I got a prescription of something called magic mouthwash, and in a few days gone!

Good luck!
