My mouth burns after eating sugar, does yours?

No I'm not diabetic and my blood sugars are normal, I've had a blood test. Is this a menopause thing? I'm really starting to find I can't tolerate sugar any more. Do you have this?

I've been unable to eat anything with added refined sugar since I had a couple of rounds of chemotherapy earlier this year. If I do, my tongue & the roof of my mouth comes up in sore lumps.

I can eat fruit and cream though, so when others are having pudding, chocolate, cake, biscuits, ice cream, etc I have plums and cream. 😊

Interesting...
For approx 14 months now I have been unable to properly taste chocolate and various other sweet things (they tend to taste quite unpleasant) and I often have a strange burning sensation on my tongue (no lumps or bumps though).
Everything smells fine/ as it should, but the taste is all wrong.
Not the worst problem to have and fortunately I prefer savoury, but I do like chocolate! I feel sad about it (I kind of expected and hoped it would return to normal by now) and I do wonder what on Earth has happened to my taste sensation.

Is it a post covid thing?

This Halle es to me two months before I got Covid (when I lost taste and smell completely for one week/ no other symptoms at all).
Unless I had Covid previously and was unaware? I did test when the strange taste thing started, but was negative.

I get a sort of fizzy feeling in my mouth, lips and tongue if I have that very sweet sloppy icing you get on some shop bought cakes.
Sometimes I wonder if it's a mild allergic reaction, but it isn't bad enough to worry.
