Burning Mouth Syndrome: Milestone - Burning Mouth Syndrome Blogs

About Me
Name: Angela Winston

I have created this blog as a forum for exchanging comments, information and resources for people suffering from Burning Mouth Syndrome. If anyone has received help for this condition, I would like to hear about it. And I'd like to start sharing recipes that those of us with BMS can eat -- soft, mild foods that taste good!

Slight Improvement

I have noticed a slight improvement in my mouth lately. Friday night we went to a barbecue restaurant and I ate all the beans without even thinking about it. Later I remembered that they put a little jalapeno in the beans. It didn't hurt at all!

Last month we went to New Mexico and ate some New Mexico red chile enchiladas in Taos. I thought they seemed a little hot, but not painful. We bought some dried, powdered red chile powder (mild/medium) and I tried making enchiladas using that. (We got the recipe at the restaurant.) It really seemed mild. I think we still have some of the hotter chile powder from the last time we went to NM; I'm going to try using a little of that next time.

Maybe eventually this will fade away and I will be able to eat hot peppers again!
