What Is The Relation Between Gerd And Geographical Tongue?

Hi, I am a 28 yr old female. I have sufferred from GERD for many years now. I have took prevacid for a couple of years, though now i am on dexilant. For the past 6-8 months i have developed geographical tongue. I have been reading online about a possible link between gerd and GT, or the PPIs and GT. What can i do to help with my GT?
