Blood Blisters, Anyone Get These?

[jecareborn]

Hello Everyone!

I have searched the web (though granted, I am not that skilled) for something and I thought maybe you, knowledgeable folks could help since I could not find anything on it. My DH is totally gone now that I am gluten-free, but I have started getting (or maybe I used to get them but only just started noticing) these weird "blood blister" like things in my mouth.

They don’t hurt, and it’s not from any chewing accident or friction or anything. Just every few weeks I'll be brushing my teeth, and feel a weird bump on the inside of my cheek, look in, and color me surprised, one or two blood blisters have set up camp. They go away in less than a week, or if I lance them, they bleed, and then disappear rapidly.

Does anyone else get these? Does anyone know if they are from being a celiac, or from having a gluten exposure? I have tried to ask my doctor, but every time I get one, it is gone before I can get in to see her. The only thing I found on the web was on a fibromyalgia message board, (which is weird because I don't have but fibromyalgia, but I get the blisters) and no one there was talking about gluten as a possibility. And no one on that board seemed to know what it was, what it was from, or what to do about it or even if it's anything to worry about.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi,

I get those. They are also on the insides of my cheeks. They don't hurt at all and I ususally dont even know they're there unless I feel them with my tongue or see them in the mirror. They go away usually after only a day. I dont know what causes them and I never noticed having them pre-gluten-free...I thought they could be related to gluten ingestion but not really sure. I actually havent seen any in over a month.
