My tongue twitches after eating?

Not sure: I would be concerned if the twitching gets worse the longer you eat, improves with rest and recurs when eating is resumed. Same with speech and swallowing. May indicate condition such as myasthenia. See neurologist.

There might be: Certain foods or spices you might bf sensitive to. Try to see what foods trigger the twitching. Consider consulting with your physician or dentist.
