lumpy tongue

[harmony]

oh-oh

I read a post in the liver flush section which refered to someone's tongue being yellow at the back of thier mouth.

So of course I have to pull out my mirror and take a peak at my tongue.
No yellow, but far back I have a V of what looks like large raised sores. Not painful at all. Down the center of my tongue is normal?
Any ideas?

The tongue is supposed to have little bumps, it's not supposed to be slick and flat. Taste buds are just that - buds!

At the very back of the throat by the tonsils very large bumps may be seen. That's normal.

But if you have jagged cracks and very large bumps on the speaking part of the tongue that is a cause for concern.
