Oh my goodness. Does anybody have a quick fix to this disgusting side effect of celiac.s I broke out with a huge fever blister looking thing, my doctor told me they are related to gluten, So i am assuming that I got gluted some how. I think kissing my b/f who had just eaten 2 hearly slices of pizza. So frustered ! It hurts and its itchy and its big and gross and right on my mouth. Quick fix advice or even a little sympothy lol!! Kidding on the sympothy. Thanx Guys!!!!

I don't have a remedy, but I am giving sympathy! Those blisters hurt beyond belief!

If this is actually a fever blister/cold sore, there are fairly new over-the-counter remedies that can help. I forget the name but ask your pharmacist.

I never knew that cold sores were gluten-related, used to get them all the time triggered by sun exposure until I started using sunscreen lip balm.

I had a similar experience recently. I don't know if I'd been glutened or not, but it was a nasty cold sore.

I used some hydrocortosone cream. It cooled it, and helped it heal.

Good luck

I find that abreva does a pretty good job. If your blisters are anything like mine, be militant and don't let them spread! I have a cream for impetigo that helps get rid of them, too. I think mine are mostly bacterial, though I never know.

My niece used to get horrible cold sores when she was young. She started taking Lysine for them and now she never has a problem. I don't know where she got that info from so I can't tell you if there is a good chance it'll help or may be just a last ditch effort.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @bold-95, welcome to the forum. Rib pain can be caused by Chondritis, an inflammation of the cartilage in the ribcage or breastbone.  Vitamin D deficiency causes this condition and Osteopenia. Celiac disease damages the lining of the small intestine, making absorption of nutrients like vitamins difficult.  Nutritional deficiencies result.  Diseases can be caused by not having enough of certain vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are chemical compounds that our bodies cannot make, so we must get them from food or supplements.  Vitamins are crucial to our bodies functioning properly.  Eating a nutritionally dense diet is important, but to correct nutritional deficiencies, supplemental vitamins are needed.   Over the counter pain relievers like NSAIDs and PPIs can cause additional inflammation and damage to the small intestine.  OTC pain relievers worked for me but they hurt my digestive system worse.  Yes, Cobalamine Vitamin B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 have an analgesic effect when taken together.   I'm leaving links below so you can see for yourself.   Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins.     https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/#:~:text=Disregarding pain resulting from vitamin,three are given in combination.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/   B Vitamins in the nervous system: Current knowledge of the biochemical modes of action and synergies of thiamine, pyridoxine, and cobalamin https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31490017/   Role of B vitamins, thiamine, pyridoxine, and cyanocobalamin in back pain and other musculoskeletal conditions: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33865694/   The Combination of Neurotropic Vitamins B1, B6, and B12 Enhances Neural Cell Maturation and Connectivity Superior to Single B Vitamins https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11987730/

      Diana, I replied “ready,” but I’m brand new to the site and don’t know if I replied via the correct place.  I would like to participate.

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Luke warm bath (deep) with a handful of Epsom salts, and bath for about 20 minutes.  Be careful getting out of the bathtub, the magnesium (Epsom salts) can make you feel a bit woozy.  I've suffered from costochondritis, might be what you have?  I find rest very helpful, and avoid any foods that bloat you as this can put added pressure on the ribcage.

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.
