Wow...mouth Ulcers

[Celia the Celiac]

Well...I've just had a bunch of mouth ulcers pop up. Concerned, I went under askjeeves.com and asked for the causes. Did you know "Celiac" came up in the list of causes. Does anybody have a similar story about this and more info?

Thanks,

Celia

I used to get mouth ulcers all the time before I started the gluten free diet. Now when I get them it's usually because I've eaten flour on accident somewhere.....so thankfully thats not often.

Good luck with them, they are no fun. I used to get them down my throat...sorry i know its gross but it is very difficult to live with.

Mouth Ulcers seems to be a common problem amoung Celiacs when contaminated with gluten.

Also, they tend to show up when one gets into way too much sugar goodies.

I also get them when I eat too many salty snacks, MSG or anything citrus-y.

I used to get them often, pre gluten-free. They usually showed up when I was 'sick'. Now, I only get them if I drink a lot of grape juice.

Most tree nuts (but not almonds and macadamia nuts) do it for me, as well as some dark chocolate...

There's just something in them that doesn't agree with my mouth

When I get glutened I get mouth ulcers, it's typically the first sign I have!

Thanks everyone on your posts. I went to Houston yesterday and ate out at a Mexican Restaurant. I was real careful with what I ordered but my food must have been contaminated with some gluten. I'm paying for it today. No energy and alot of gas. Yuck....just when I thought I was healing well, a set back!

there was another forum on this called "mouth sores".

here's my post from there about changing your toothpaste to non-SLS (from a lifetime of horrible ulcers to almost never!) - you can view other posts from there:
