Hi everyone ,
Just want a bit of reassurance really.
I had a couple of packets of crisps last night ,bugles Bacon flavour and some lentil crisps which were a strong BBQ flavour , but since I ate them my tongue seems a tad sensitive /sore in several places ,and still the same now.is this a common thing that can happen? I've had bugles before with no problems .
Thanks in advance Mark
Yes. Crisps annoyed me for a couple of years.

Yes...just takes a little time. Don't try again for a couple of months

Yep, crisps can set my throat off too. Also, last week I managed to get some extremely hot tomato soup on my (now 5 yr old) excision site and suffered for 4 days or so. It felt really blistered, but gargling with salt water eventually calmed it down. It did put the wind up me for a day or two though! Part of the New Normal I’m afraid.
