Sores inside the mouth

[Baby Blues]

I posted for my first time in the DH section.  I forgot to mention that I've been having sores inside my mouth also.  They're round, white and not painful.  Just a little annoying because they kind of get in the way and I find I bite the inside of my cheeks more when the sores are present.  Does anyone else have this problem?  How do you treat the sores?  I use tincture of benzoine.

Canker sores are a common symptom of celiac disease, and usually go away after months or longer on a 100% gluten-free diet.

Baby Blues,

I used to have your problem.

Taking some Lysine will help with outbreaks.

The underlying problem is a Low B-Vitamin Status.

Here is some articles about it.

One entitled "Recurrent aphthous ulceration: vitamin B1, B2 and B6 status and response to replacement therapy" showing a B-Complex with B1 (Thiamine) B2 (Riboflavin) an B6 helped recurrent oral ulcers.

One entitled "Clinical success of lysine in association with serumal and salivary presence of HSV-1 in patients with recurrent aphthous ulceration"

Lysine works, in part, by helping control your stress (Cortisol stress hormone) levels in your body.

Here is the research on in it entitled "Oral treatment with L-lysine and L-arginine reduces anxiety and basal cortisol levels in healthy humans"

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.
