Canker Sores

Does anyone here get canker sores when exposed to gluten infrequently? I had french onion soup at a diner maybe 10 days ago and it definitely had gluten in it. Definitely. I've had three canker sores since then. I am just wondering if anyone else gets them relatively easily. Before now I feel like they were much more sporadic never had them this frequently.

YES! It's so annoying. I'll get them in the back of my throat and that's the worst. I have heard of canker sores being related to Celiac.

Yes, I used to get them all the time, since I was very little. I have been gluten-free for 6 years now and never got them anymore. Now I only get them when I eat gluten by mistake, within a week or less.

Before I was diagnosed I would get 8 or more at a time.  They were one of my "big" symptoms.  Nasty little things.  Now, 5 years later I still get one every so often (every few months) but, for me, they are not are a result of exposure to gluten.  Also they no longer ulcerate and are gone over night.  It's a celiac thing according to my doctor,

I was what I thought to be asymptomatic. But for several month prior to my diagnosis I kept getting canker sores. I'm guessing the lip balm that I kept putting on them was doing more harm than good! Since being gluten free - past almost three years - I now rarely get them  -- maybe once or twice a year. I have no doubt that they are related.

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....
