Canker sores

So before going gluten free, I would get canker sores all the time as a kid.. I then became sick by vomiting and diahrrea and stomach bloating. So I went to the doctor and they told me 2 try a gluten free diet for 3 months. I got better and sores went away and all. They told me to stay on the diet. So I did and a yr and a half later they decided to blood test me for celiac but it was negative... well this yr iv been having problems with dairy and fructose but the intolerant test for fructose was negative but i was super sick during that 25mg fructose test.. anyway the doctors did a endoscopy on me and colonoscopy to see what's going on..the endoscopy showed I had decreased folds but the biopsy showed my vili were fine. But then again iv been gluten free for 6 yrs now....

 

 

I actually went out to a reastront for the first time last Friday and in the middle of my dinner I had to rush to the bathroom because I was sick.. well the next day I woke up with sores all over in my mouth.(some of the sores in pic)  anyways I'm curious to know if gluten intolerance or celiac causes these sores. 

 

My gi doctor said she thinks I have celiac but with my vili being fine she's not sure... my dietition said if she had to bet she would that if I was tested right off the beginning It all would have been positive 

 

Anyways That was a story about me my question is do any of you get these from gluten 

 

 

I took these pictures to show my gi doctor when I go in the 5th to talk to be and touch bases since all my exams.and tests iv had have been negative of why Dairy and fructose are issues and some other things we can't figure out what...

Get another doctor?  After 6 years gluten-free, your villi should be fine!  If they don't understand that basic piece of info about Celiac, they shouldn't be treating patients .

kkgirl,

This is a two part answer I say you had asked in another thread about decreased folds.

cycyclinglady commented that duodenal folds where a sign of possible "silent" celiac (my term) before villious atrophy showed up.

don't trust dr. google for a dignosis but it can be helpful to guide you in the right direction. 

So i was curious what did medical journals say about decreased folding and there it was in two or three journals and it wasn't recent research either.

This research is 15 or 20 years old and we still wait on villious atrophy for a "biopsy proven" diagnosis.

I sight this source because it mentions different things that does not cause reduced villi height or or affect folds.  Lactose does not cause it nor do parasites.  It seem to be closely related to gluten.

there is a an even earlier citation from the New England Journal of Medicine.

With decreased folds the villi is being affected.  But now that you have a positive antibody test you know now that . . .. but gluten just hasn't destroyed the villi yet.

I wouldn't wait till it does.  You say you responded well to a gluten free diet why chance it.

as for the mouth uclers I've had this happen several times and almost none since I went 100% gluten free if you will take the amino acid lysine in a about a week of less of taking lysine your sores will go into remission.

It is known as oral thrush.

If you can stand it.  using salt water (though it will sting horribly for a few minutes) it can help healing of the sores. swill it around your mouth.  Don't drink it and spit it out can help the healing process.

I used to have them so bad my mouth would drool with salivia trying to soothe my aching mouth and eating can be horrible especially if it (sore) is in a sensitive point on the tongue.

But lysine always got rid of it 1000mg two or three times daily and 3or 4 days they went away.

I hope this is helpful.

Posterboy, canker sores and oral thrush are NOT the same thing.

Kkgirl, good luck with your doctor's appointment, those look painful.

posterboy,

Yeah the decreased folds are in the 2nd part of duodenum mostly. Who knows about that. It is what it is...  and as far as these sores go I'll try lysine. This is just some of the sores in have them all over in my mouth.. it's from yeast?

Another thought.

I had two similar episodes of terrible canker sores a few years apart.  They came on really quickly and both times I discovered I had them because when I was eating it felt like there was glass in my marmalade!

Both episodes occurred before my celiac diagnosis and I just have a feeling it was also to do with anemia.  My B12 was very low at diagnosis and I had iron anemia too.  

There are quite a lot of articles on the web about it - here's just one of them.

I hope that you find your answers but might be worth getting your levels of B12 and iron checked and if required, supplement.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
