Cheilosis (sore Cracked Lips & Corners Of Mouth)

My daughter has again got Cheilosis, very sore lips and cracks at the corners of her mouth. She had this a lot before Dx and being gluten-free but we only realised it was a coeliac symptom after I started researching celiac disease.

I understand it is caused by riboflavin deficiency, is there anything I can do other than vitamin pills and increasing milk, cheese, yogurt, meat etc in her diet? She has started to grow but She still isn't eating much and would much rather 'pick' than eat a large meal. :(

My son gets little sores around the corner of his mouth, and a rash there in general if he gets something he's allergic to. Perhaps she's been glutened? We treat it with vaseline, and it goes away in several days. This may be irrelevant if it's something different than what we have :blink:

Great! I'v given her a fizzy BEROCCA which has a lot of B vits and will buy something more suitable for her age tomorrow.

We have been putting vaseline on but it seems to make it worse. I don't think she has been gluted but I'm still on a learning curve!

Hi Donna--I actually had that cracking at the corners of my mouth and when I was the most sick to my stomach, I would get cracks in my lips. When I learned that those things could be symptoms of Celiac, it made sense because I could never figure out why it happened. Topical things like lip balms etc. never really helped. When I began the gluten-free diet and added vitamin B6 to my multi. vitamin, the lip problems went away.

Mouth sores could also be related to this...

My daughter is allergic to vasiline. Her skin peels when she gets it on her.

My daughter is allergic to vasiline. Her skin peels when she gets it on her.

It would not surprise me if she is sensitive to something else as well as gluten, I though vasiline was ok, she didn't put any on today and seems better. She also had a mega shot of b-vits today.

I really am starting to think that a total exclusion diet is the way to go for both of us although it will be hard when school starts again.

I have a very old copy of the Cambridge Excusion diet (My mum was on the trial years ago) does anyone have a newer/more user friendly ex diet that takes into account all the other allergens/salicylates/lectins etc? We don't have D so the Specific Carb diet would not seem to be a first choice???

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
