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.
