Hello! I've been meaning to write for a while. I've been "cured" and haven't had this problem for about a year and a half. Now IT'S BACK. I'm the person who was using colostrum and it helped.
I really believe this is a gut thing. For a year and 1/2 I was taking bovine colostrum and this B12 supplement: http://www.holisticheal.com/shmt-spray.html?SID=fd45e58bc7e63d24303f7440a89843dc
My current theory is that I am unable to absorb B vitamins because of problems with my gut. Also, I have the MTHFR gene mutation which interferes with your body being able to process folate and B12. If you have this, you need to take a special kind of folate/B12 in order for you to absorb it. This could be causing some people's problems.
When my gut would get bad or I was traveling my lips would start burning a little but it would always get better after I normalized. I recently went on a very low carb diet and lips were great. The diet cause a lot of emotional problems with me so I started eating some carbs again (but still pretty low carb) and my gut was totally messed up.
Anyway...I think I'm going to go on an ellimination diet but I really doubt that will fix anything. Hopefully my nutritionist can help.
Any advice is helpful!!
