There are a variety of reasons you could have white bumps and welts on your tongue. Several are reactions to life choices: acid reflux disease, tobacco use, alcohol use and small burns from very spicy or very hot foods. Some are infectious: human papilloma virus, herpes simplex virus, candidiasis (thrush) or bacterial stomatitis. Classically, white bumps in the oral cavity is also associated with severe Vitamin A deficiency, although other vitamins may cause this as well.

Lack of certain B vitamins can cause tongue problems. Adelle Davis, the popular nutritional author of the 1960s and '70s, describes them in her books, "Let's Eat Right to Get Fit" and "Let's Get Well."
