Mouth Ulcers After Eating Gluten

[gfsimon]

I have just recently been diagnosed with Gluten Intorance. I am doing well on the diet, but I had a salad with traces of groutons and two days later I have a mouth full of ulcers inside and on my lips. I just wonder if anyone out there has had this happen to them. The same thing happened during the hurricane I ate gluten because there was nothing to eat for three days if I didn't and I had mouth ulcers again. I just want to know if someone else has this problem. No one I know has this. Thanks.

Yep, gluten gives me mouth ulcers too. I used to get them frequently before I went gluten-free (for what I thought was no apparent reason). Now when I get glutened they return.

I get 'em too. I used to get them all the time, thinking it just appeared for no reason. Now I can see that it only happens when I get glutened.

HINT: When you feel the "tingle" of a mouth blister, get a bottle of L-Lysine. It's a pill that when taken, slows the growth of the blister. As soon as I feel one coming on, I'll start taking them - three times a day with meals. If I do that for at the very least two days, then the little blister doesn't hardly grow at all. Also, I stay away from nuts when I have one. They have a chemical of some kind that actually encourages blister formations.
