Hi DataM, Welcome.

That could be indicative of a food trigger. Have you figured out which foods are/may be causing the burning? With some folks it's gluten, but everyone is different. With me it's some types of hot peppers, but not all (weird, I know...)
Google: peripheral neuropathy food triggers for lists of common ones.

As you continue reading this forum (particularly the Sticky threads) you'll find a lot of good practical information on curbing symptoms and progression. Make use of the archives (Search function) too.
