Here's A New One... Peeling Mouth


gatita

Recommended Posts

I've seen that sore tongue and some mouth problems can be both symptoms of celiac and/or B vitamin deficiencies, but on the old posts here, most people say it cleared up after going gluten-free.

I'm 6 months gluten-free this week and am only rarely glutened anymore (yipee!! :) ) But suddenly I have this sore, cracked tongue, enlarged taste buds, and even weirder, peeling skin on the inside of my lips and cheeks.

I know I've had a B2 dificiency because I had cracked corners on my mouth, but that cleared up pretty quick from the mega-B vitamins I'm now taking.

Then this thing just started all of a sudden.

Anyone else had it or know what it is?

B vitamin overdoses can cause some nasty symptoms, you may want to look into that if you've been megadosing on stuff for awhile. Not sure if mouth sores are one of them.

I seem to constantly have a very dry tongue with sores on it, and I've cycled through some foods trying to avoid it with possible success, but definitely no peeling skin. Last I looked at things it looked at my mouth it looked almost like regular cold sores, and I wouldn't be surprised if, for myself, it's just herpes flare-ups.

      Hey there, have you been tested for allergies? You may not only have celiac disease but be allergic. I have celiac disease and am allergic to Barley, wheat and rye.

      I have osteopenia and have cracked three vertebrae.  Niacin is connected to osteoporosis! Do talk to your nutritionist and doctor about supplementing with B vitamins.  Blood tests don't reveal the amount of vitamins stored inside cells.  The blood is a transportation system and can reflect vitamins absorbed from food eaten in the previous twenty-four to forty-eight hours.  Those "normal limits" are based on minimum amounts required to prevent disease, not levels for optimal health.   Keep us posted on your progress.   B Vitamins: Functions and Uses in Medicine https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9662251/ Association of dietary niacin intake with osteoporosis in the postmenopausal women in the US: NHANES 2007–2018 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11835798/ Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/   Nutritional Imbalances in Adult Celiac Patients Following a Gluten-Free Diet https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8398893/ Nutritional Consequences of Celiac Disease and Gluten-Free Diet https://www.mdpi.com/2036-7422/15/4/61 Simplifying the B Complex: How Vitamins B6 and B9 Modulate One Carbon Metabolism in Cancer and Beyond https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9609401/

      Thank you so much for the clarification! Yes to these questions: Have you consulted dietician?  Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Osteoporosis? Thyroid? Anemia?  Do you take any supplements, or vitamins? I’m within healthy range for nutritional tests, thyroid and am not anemic. I do have osteopenia. I don’t take any medications, and the dietician was actually a nutritionist (not sure if that is the same thing) recommended by my physician at the time to better understand gluten free eating.    I almost wish the gluten exposure had triggered something, so at least I’d know what’s going on. So confusing!    Many thanks!
