Blisters On Tongue And Mouth Sores

After being "glutened" I experience blisters and sores on tongue and in my mouth. Is this common?

I used to get mouth sores and sore spots on my tongue when I didn't know it was Celiac Disease I was suffering from. Once I was diagnosed and went gluten-free, they are no longer a problem. It may not be common for many Celiacs but it is a symptom. I should also add I have Sjogren's and the resultant dry mouth so that could have added to the problem. I wouldn't worry too much about it, as long as they heal once you are not ingesting gluten.

I get mouth and tongue sores so bad that my lymph nodes swell up. I get them for no reason, luckily I haven't had one for over a month now but it's not uncommon. I've also heard a story about a girl that was diagnosed with celiac disease on her canker sores alone.

If your lymph nodes swell, it could also be that you have Sjogren's Syndrome. Swollen lymph glands are common with Sjogren's and Sjogren's is common with Celiac. It's not so normal for lymph glands to swell up just from canker sores alone so you may want to keep that in mind. There is a blood test for Sjogren's, in case you are interested in getting tested.

I got them all my life until I found out that I had celiac disease and stopped eating gluten. I haven't gotten them since. My son, whose diagnosis saved my life, gets them when he is glutened. They take a long time to go away. I have found them listed as a symptom of celiac.
