What Causes Cuts And Sores On Tongue After Consuming Banana?

My bio metrics screening showed 220 glucose and 247 cholesterol. I weigh 210 and am female 5.5. Diabetes does not run in any generation of any of my family that I know of. I notice when I eat a banana it feels like cuts and soars on my tongue. I found out this is from my body producing histamine that is defending against the proteins in the foods. It happened again eating ice cream and chicken.Do you think I have pancreas issues? My bowels sometime smell like amonia and are at other times very normal. I am female and 48. I am active at the gym in light exercise and active in the wellness program both at work.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain cuts and sores on tongue after consuming specific foods does not need to be necessarily due to pancreas issue, rather it can be due to Allergic Reaction and as it is after eating certain foods it comes under food allergies..

I would suggest you to consult an Allergist and get allergic tests like Patch test, RAST test, food challenge test etc can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
The tests will help in ruling out the exact cause of the allergen and once you know the cause of the allergic reaction you can avid exposure to it to prevent allergy attack..

He can be advised to take anti allergics like benadryl to relieve the symptoms..
Gargling with numbing mouthwash containing Lignocaine can relieve soreness..
Suck ice pops..
He can also be instilled an Immunotherapy that will help in reducing the severity and frequency of allergic attack..
Once the allergen is ruled out avoiding exposure to it can prevent the allergy symptoms..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
