Hello. Based on your history, the ulcers appear to be chronic (persisting for more than a month) and are associated with burning sensation, bloating, acid reflux, altered bowel habits, and hair fall. Since your
Vitamin B12 and ANA reports are within normal limits, the ulcers are less likely to be due to B12 deficiency or an autoimmune disorder alone.
Recurrent tongue ulcers can be associated with iron/folate deficiency, gastrointestinal disorders (such as IBS, celiac disease, or inflammatory bowel disease), nutritional deficiencies, stress, hormonal factors, or local irritation. A thorough clinical examination is required before arriving at a diagnosis
Next Steps
I would recommend consulting an Oral Medicine & Radiology specialist (Oral Physician) for a detailed oral examination. Simultaneously, follow up with a Gastroenterologist to evaluate your persistent gastrointestinal symptoms. Your doctor may advise additional investigations such as CBC, serum
ferritin, folate, zinc,
Vitamin D,
thyroid profile, and celiac screening if not already done.
Until then, avoid spicy and acidic foods, maintain good oral hygiene, stay well hydrated, and use a topical ulcer gel or antiseptic mouthwash only if prescribed. If any ulcer persists beyond 2–3 weeks, enlarges, bleeds, or becomes associated with a neck swelling, a biopsy may be required to rule out other conditions.
