A member asked:

I have bumps on the back of my tongue as well as a yellow tinted tongue for a while now. i have bad nighttime acid reflux. could reflux be the reason?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Chronic irritation from uncontrolled acid reflux can cause structural changes in the esophagus, larynx, vocal cords, pharynx and tongue (usually not permanent except for strictures). A yellow plaque to the tongue may also be suggestive of a candida infection. Your doctor can help you sort this out.
