I have this exact thing now!! Has felt like this since just over a week, when I went to Sparty, (salt thermal pools with chlorine added) and I went to the doctor who had no idea and said nothing looked abnormal. She merely suggested to avoid eating/drinking stuff that is too hot to irritate but no idea of cause. Any progress on yours? Mine almost feels like I haven't brushed my teeth in days and all the fluff /build up you normalls get on your teeth after a night out is sitting under my tongue, but it feels like the straight after I've brushed my teeth....

Had essentially the same exact symptoms described by the original poster: Basically, a slightly rough, almost "sandy" feeling, felt when probing with the tip of my tongue, on the floor of my mouth under the tongue. It came on suddenly and seemed to spread just a little bit, over the next few days, much as described by some of the other posters to this thread. There was no pain, and I really couldn't see anything unusual when I checked in the mirror.  Long story short, after about 5 or 6 days it went away completely and hasn't returned, which I suspect will be the case with most of those similarly "afflicted."  My thought was it may have been related to what I was eating at the time, but I've eaten the exact same thing since and have had no problems.

You probably have a clogged salivary gland, which causes the dryness and powdery sensation on your tongue. A home remedy would be eating sour foods to stimulate saliva production to unclog your salivary gland

Some toothpastes can cause this feeling. I got it after using sensodyne toothpaste. The symptoms disappeared when I switched to a natural toothpaste. Avoid toothpastes that have enzymes or chemicals that get absorbed by the skin in your mouth. The same applies to overly strong mouthwashes such as listerine. They destroy the healthy bacteria in your mouth!

Same happened to me, it started yesterday and it started on the roof of my mouth and is now under my tongue and around my teeth, there are a few visible tiny white bumps as well! I'm really freaked out and hoping it will go away asap!

I have similar response to tomatos especially, I get the white bumps, ulcers and a bit of soreness. So just to confirm this poster...and to mention that citric acid is usually made from corn. So the problem could be broader than just the citric acid. It could be a low level corn allergy.

I have a similar situation except my tongue has red sores and small ridges on the bottom of my tongue feel like there pulling and my tongue feels so tight against my bottom front teeth that painful indents have formed due to rubbing?

OMG, I was totally using Aquafresh toothpaste when I got the weird gritty feeling under my tongue. Ususally I natural Tom's toothpaste or even hippie tooth powder from the health food store. I ran out of both and had a tester of the gross, chemical-y Aquafresh laying around, and I used it for about a week. Mistake. I have had the grit under my tongue for about 5 days now. Moral: mainstream toothpaste uses a scorched-earth policy to clean and whiten your teeth. Be kind to your mouth and use natural toothpaste.

I have exactly the same issue as you. It's really like skin coming off and all day long. I always try to pull it of with my tongue leading to a "tired tongue". I have this more than a year now. I think it is stress related. I have been to many doctors but they dont have a clue what it is. They only know the fact that it is caused by dryness. I also performed a sjogren test and the result wete negative. So right now, only God knows what it is !

Below you will find years worth of comments from different people about the same thing - rough lower lip and rough/bumpy inner cheeks and under the tongue. For some strange reason, no doctor can identify/diagnose this, but most doctors (erroneously) confuse confuse this with thrush, or candida/yeast/fungal overgrowth. I have had this problem for OVER 20 years... and no doctor can tell me what this is. Hypotheses coming from various people on the next 5+ pages include dietary problems (no, I have fasted - as in NO FOOD AT ALL - for 14 days and it didn't go away), allergies (no, this never goes away when you take even the strongest allergy meds), toothpaste (no way, I brushed my teeth without any paste for 30+ days and it stayed). There are TWO things that improve or eliminate this for me. One is alcohol (funny right?): if I drink a lot of hard liquor (vodka or tequila party time with old friends), chances are the next morning this will be gone almost entirely... but will always return within 24 hours. The other is antibiotics: every time I have taken antibiotics for a cold, the problem goes away for a few days... but then always returns within a week. Isn't there at least one good doctor who can diagnose and treat this? The rough feeling on the mucous surfaces inside the mouth is the least of my concerns. The problem is that I tend to bite and chew my cheeks and lower lip, which is embarrassing and uncomfortable... but most importantly, it exposes the resulting micro injuries to whatever foods and liquids I put in my mouth, which can trigger cell mutations... which can eventually become a cancer. Doctors? Scientists? Does anyone have brains to solve this problem? As the next 10+ pages show, a LOT of people are experiencing this!

I disagree, as I saw my Dentist the week before & I was told everything was good

One week later I started with this grainy feeling under my tongue & inside of my gums. I am going to my Docs, as I wondered if it might be yeast related?

The reply above was mine. Relevant to the comment it was plaque, & go to the Dentist. That so was not the problem

I also had it after a dentist visit. Apparently linked to some kind of ulcer that will go away after a little while
