Folic Acid
Kate Nelson alerted me to a discussion in which folic acid was mentioned as eliminating someone's Burning Mouth Syndrome symptoms after 3 weeks:

In a quick Web search, I learned that folic acid is a B vitamin which helps prevent birth defects. The CDC recommends taking no more than 1,000 milligrams per day but says there are no known risks.
My dentist recommended I take Vitamin B last summer, but he didn't specifically mention folic acid. I took Vit. B for a while, but maybe didn't take enough, or long enough, or the right kind. The Mayo Clinic's website also mentions folic acid as one of the vitamin deficencies BMS sufferers sometimes have. So I think I will try it.
