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.

posterboy,

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.

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
