Mouth Ulcers A Symptom


Lesliean

Recommended Posts

Do you get blood blisters in the mouth that come and go and vary in size and usually come in groups and sometimes the epiglottis is sore too? Is this a symptom of gluten intolerance?

Thanks,

Leslie

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I get the tingling, sense of swelling, and breaking out in the mouth before any of the other symptoms arrive. It is my first clue to get back home where I can deal with the gastro stuff. The sores in my mouth range from the white canker sores across the gamut through red painful places to actual splits or rivers in my tongue. I'm not sure which is the most painful. I have talked to others who get a similar thing as well.

I am sorry to hear that you go through that. Mine is different. I know I have a gluten sensitivity because the pain in my stomach and other gastro symptoms went away immedicately. But 10 days later and I have a crop (first time in 10 days-was almost constant and bigger ones)of small red blood blisters, small pinprick size and two more ant bite size, but unlike I've heard elsewhere, they are blood not canker. Help? It seemed a systemic outbreak as my stomach is a bit upset (first time in 10 days) and I am bleeded from the other end too. I see the asthma specialist March 2 ( began as a Larygopharneal reflux problem) and I'm afraid 1) The testing will be off gluten 6 weeks and 2) It's something else (maybe worse). Does it take more than 10 days for these symptoms to go away? What do you think?

Worried to death!

Yes, it can take much more than 10 days for the symptoms to go away. I had an accidental gluten ingestion in August and am just now down to the last two or three spots healing. Usually the mouth sores come and go for a while before finally completely healing. I get both the canker sore type and the red painful ones.

Is there any chance that your spots are similar to petichial (sp) hemorrhaging? I get those little pin prick size (and sometimes a little larger) on my body after having an incident. The doc has me on B vitamin injections to help since in my case it is apparently caused by a problem with the nerve endings.

I hope that your problems are all celiac related and will heal up over time. Many of us have asthma and other problems especially at the beginning. My throat closes up and my tongue feels as though it is too big. I get so frustrated when I strangle on my own saliva. After being gluten-free for almost two years, it only occurs rarely when I accidentally get into something.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
