Mouth Sores

[mandasmom]

I got glutened this week for the ftime in a really long time...I woke up this mroning with a mouth full of painful sores...I know that they are slef limiting but I havent had it in so long that I forget how to best treat it....so far lots of gargling and some motrin to reduce pain and inflammation. Someone suggested increasing B vits for a while...any ideas?? Thanks

Sorry you got gultened.

What my baby-brother, an M.D., told me to do (long before I was diagnosed with celiac) was to eat raw garlic. So whenever I got sores (none since going gluten-free) I would make some homemade hummus or some ceasar salad or greek salad. It worked every time.

Good luck to you.

I get mouth sores from gluten. Those are painful! A couple of home remedies: put a baking powder paste on the sores and leave for 5 minutes then rinse. You can also rinse with hydrogen peroxide. It stings, but they heal faster.

Your dentist or doctor can also prescribe cream which numbs them and helps them heal.
