What Causes Stomach Bloating Along With Tingling In The Tongue?
For several months I have had bloating and a numb or tingling sensation on my toungue. Now I notice that I have some very hard bumps above my gum line on upper palette on the outside. I had also had significant weight gain. I have met with an internist and do not have Si on. But when I eat my stomach swells like a tight drum. I am very miserable. Male 57 5 11 250 lbs. non smoker.

Hello,
First thing is to rule out acid reflux or gastritis. Upper endoscopy recommended together with abdominal ultrasound to determine the right diagnosis.
Next, as you're having a hard bump above your gum line, I recommend running culture and sensitivity testing of the oral and gum swab in order to rule out possible bacterial or candida infection.
Discuss this further with your primary physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
