A member asked:

Can geographic tongue cause acid reflux?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A geographic tongue does not cause acid reflux from the stomach. A geographic tongue is probably not capable of causing stomach symptoms... but that doesn't mean a person can't have stomach symptoms and have a geographic tongue at the same time.
