Hi Ariel,

Yes, there is actually another thread on the forum where canker sores are being talked about right now.

Welcome to the forum! :)

If you do a search on the forum from the search box above, you can find lots of  threads about canker sores.

Here is a search link to save you a little time.

Ariel90,

Take the amino acid Lysine.

I have had them several times.

Lysine always got rid of them for me.

If you are prone to have them often Lysine can be used prophylactically (as a preventive).  500mg once a day usually keep them from coming back.  I don't usually get them now unless I am feeling sick and they break out ahead of a flu or some kind of sickness or stress I am going through.

Taken 1000mg a couple times a day usually causes them to go away in 3 to 4 days.

Can be taken 1000mg 3 to 4 day if needed to get rid of mouth ulcers.

To speed  healing swilling your mouth with salt water and spitting it out can accelerate healing of the sores.

I only used the salt water when my mouth was watering from many sores at once especially if one was on my tongue.  Salt water and Lysine can be used together if quicker relief is needed than the Lysine alone can provide.

Otherwise 2 to 3g of Lysine a day in divided doses was all that was needed to get rid of them.

I hope this is helpful.

I've gotten them my whole life. I get less now than I did when I was a teenager and in my early 20s. I've heard a connection to celiac but haven't researched it. Usually now when I get them it's from biting my lip. But I used to get them all the time, especially when I was stressed. They do hurt really bad :(

I have posted recently on this but something to add. A friend of mine told me she gets bad sores when she eats potato chips loaded with salt.  I am now finding that I have the same problem if I overindulge. She has non-celiac gluten intollerance; I have celiac disease.  I don't think there is any link with either but you might like to see if it is anything that you are eating.  Also, reading the web, pickles can also be a cause.

My sister-in law gets these all the time.    Sun and stress are her triggers.

      Thank you for your thoughtful contribution, @Tazfromoz. I live in the UK and the National Health Service funds free vaccines for people deemed to be at heightened risk.  I was pleasantly surprised to discover that as a coeliac in my 50s I was eligible for this vaccine, and didn't think twice when it was offered to me.  Soon after diagnosis I suffered mystery symptoms of burning nerve pain, following two separate dermatomes, and one GP said he felt that I had contracted shingles without the rash aka zoster sine herpete.  Of course, without the rash, it's a difficult diagnosis to prove, but looking back I think he was completely spot on.  It was miserable and lasted about a year, which I gather is quite typical. For UK coeliacs reading this, it is worth having a conversation with your GP if you haven't been vaccinated against shingles yet, if you are immunosuppressed or over 50. I have just googled this quickly - it is a helpful summary which I unashamedly took from AI, short for time as I am this morning!   My apologies. In the UK, coeliac patients aren't automatically eligible for the shingles jab unless they're severely immunosuppressed or over the general age for vaccination (currently 50+) but Coeliac UK recommends discussing the vaccine with a GP due to potential splenic dysfunction, which can increase risk, even if not routine for all coeliacs. Eligibility hinges on specific criteria like weakened immunity (chemo, certain meds) or age, with the non-live Shingrix vaccine offered in two doses to those deemed high-risk, often starting from age 18 for the immunocompromised.

      My understanding, and ex I erience is that we coeliacs are likely to suffer more extreme reactions from viruses. Eg we are more likely to be hospitalised with influenza. So, sadly, your shingles may be worse because you are coeliac. So sorry you had to go through this. My mother endured shingles multiple times. She was undiagnosed with coeliac disease until she was 65. Me at 45. I've had the new long lasting vaccine. It knocked me around badly, but worth it to avoid shingles.

      Hi all,  Looking for some advice. I started having some symptoms this past summer like night sweats and waking at 4 am and felt quite achy in my joints. I was training heavily for cycling for a few weeks prior to the onset of these symptoms starting. I have had low Ferratin for about 4 years (started at 6) and usually sits around 24 give or take. I was doing some research and questioned either or not I might have celiac disease (since I didn’t have any gastric symptoms really). My family doctor ran blood screening for celiac. And my results came back: Tissue Transglutaminase Ab IgA HI 66.6 U/mL Immunoglobulin IgA 1.73 g/ My doctor then diagnosed me with celiac and I have now been gluten free for 3 months. In this time I no longer get night sweats my joint pain is gone and I’m still having trouble sleeping but could very much be from anxiety. I was since referred to an endoscopy clinic to get a colonoscopy and they said I should be getting a biopsy done to confirm celiac. In this case I have to return to eating gluten for 4-6 weeks before the procedure. Just wanted some advice on this. I seem to be getting different answers from my family physician and from the GI doctor for a diagnosis.    Thanks,

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.
