when your on your period....
 
are you sensitive to some certain foods?
I can't eat anything hot or spicy because my mouth burns! I read something online that only women get something called 'burning tongue' because of certain hormones, i've had that before and oh my it burns!
when im on its a mild form of that...

anyone else get this?

hate for being a woman! haha :)

I've never had this problem. I LOVE spicy foods, any time of the month! I've also never heard of "burning tongue" either, so I can't really put any input on that. I tend to eat spicy foods MORE on or around the time of my period anyway, though I'd eat it all the time if I could.

It's probably some type of hormonal thing. I bet it's normal for period, I've never had it personally, like Shannon, I actually like spicy food on my period. I just like food in mass quantities, honestly. :nosweat: However, I don't think this sounds completely unreasonable. Maybe talk to your gynecologist next time you see them about this, just to ask for information. I really don't think it sounds like a problem though, more or less something to keep in mind on your time of month, avoid getting Thai food and what not. :)

The only thing that happens to me when I'm on my period is that I want anything cheese related, haha. It doesn't matter what, as long as there's cheese in it, I want it :dem: But I know some people are effected differently.

As Traci said, it's probably some hormonal thing. It's never happened to me either.

Haha. Same :p I've also never had this happen to me, but like the others have said it's probably just something to do with hormones!

I eat the same kind of foods, but I don't eat as much of it. I lose my appetite when I'm on my period.

I change in a weird way. I normally don't like sweets, but during my period it's all I want lol.

My mouth usually burns when I eat spicy stuff, especially now. My favorite thing to do is dip chips in pepperoncini juice and eat it and it KILLS my mouth but I still do it anyway lol.

I haven't really observed a change in flavors when I am on my period. I crave sugar more, but that's about it.

I've never had any flavor changes either, but I usually start to crave meat. XD I usually only crave sweets (more than usual) when I'm PMSing. As for it being a symptom of Menopause, according to this website, burning tongue could have to do with low estrogen levels, so it's possible you might have a small hormonal imbalance. I would visit your doctor and have a blood test done if you want it taken care of. :)
