Do You Get Canker Sores Or Chapped Lips?


PeachBlossoms

Hi, this is my first post here on this forum.

My brother was diagnosed as a SEVERE Celiac when he was a child. It runs in the family. And doctors have told me that I am "wheat sensitive" :P.

This might seem like an odd question, but are there any celiacs out there who get canker sores and unexplainable/chronic chapped lips no matter if it is summer or winter and no matter how much chapstick you use? I realize its not an official celiac-related symptom. I thought it was always just a problem in my family, but am wondering if it could be related to the celiac disease. I am not talking about cold sores or the Herpes Simplex Virus.

We've also had had a problem with incurable "acne" --- acne that last well past our teenage years (26 years and 24 years old). We've always had VERY oily skin and hair.

I've been to SO many doctors who were unhelpful and finally started doing my own research. I discovered that ALLLL of my symptoms disappeared when I stopped eating a certain food (not gluten related) which contained a large quantity of a certain amino acid. I happened to find medical research that said many celiacs produce too much of this amino acid. When I stop eating the food, all of these symptoms disappear. There is so little research.

So, I am wondering if there are any other celiacs with these chronic symptoms??

Yes, this happens to me.

BTW - welcome aboard!

I also get canker sores. I haven't had any since being gluten-free. :D

Inquiring minds want to know.. what amino acid?

Yes, lots of canker sores growing up and dry eyes and chapped lips still.

Sure sign of glutening for me is chapped lips......I'm guessing it's mainly due to dehydration, I also get a headache and just feel generally dried out. And my oldest child, he had constant sores inside of his mouth until he went gluten free, it took a while for him to stop getting them. Those are miserable little buggers, and made brushing his teeth a nightmare!

eringopaint Newbie

I used to get constant canker sores, and chapped lips until I went gluten free. All of my family get them but only those of us who went gluten free got rid of them. Takes a while after going gluten-free for them to disappear... and if I get accidental gluten I sometimes get one now.

But it was a great added bonus to not get them anymore.

That just might be part of the problem, though. Apparently, you can get 'immune' (I can't think of a better word for it right now) to the over-use of chapstick. iow, constant use can make your lips even more dry, and you *need* the chapstick - vicious cycle. :) Besides, I hear chapstick isn't gluten-free (?). I don't use any lip balm, at all, anymore, and my lips aren't usually too overly dry.

My gums bother me quite a lot - sore, inflamed sometimes.

maile Newbie

me too!

canker sores for certain and I 've always had chapped lips but never had associated it with the gluten (and I only use lip balm occasionally)

I also get a very dry throat at the same time, as taweavmo3 said probably due to dehydration but it only seems to show up if I get glutened

lpjourney Rookie

Only 3 weeks gluten free - and now realizing - my constantly dry lips are slowly going away. Never realized it could be related to gluten. I drink plenty of water, so I couldn't understand why my lips were always dry.

My hands were always dry too, I'm guessing this is all related and they seem to be slowly clearing up also.

Thank goodness for this forum, I'm learning so many things.

mslee Apprentice

Oh I hope it's not a sign of glutening!

I have had badly chapped/split lips since going gluten free, I have tried everything...no chap stick/lip gloss (in case there was an ingredient I was sensitive to), tried straight olive oil or coconut oil, tried all natural brands like badger balm, tried petroleum based like "chap stick" or nivea, tried taking more B vitamins..still there & I am SO careful with my diet.

I have heard some vitamin deficiencies can cause cracking of the lips but I'm not sure which.

Before the celiac dx I would get these little water blisters in my mouth, those have gone away..except once when I got glutened real bad.

I have a couple oral ulcers that come & go but that is the lupus. fun!

SBisglutenfree Rookie

I would also love to know which food you cut out due to the amnio acid. Canker sores were never a problem prior to going gluten free a month ago, but I noticed that I am getting small ones now as well as chapped lips.

As far as the acne, have you tried cutting out dairy? I've been waiting to "grow out of the acne thing" (I'm 43), but once I cut out the dairy, I hardly ever get acne now (only if I eat the cheese that I absolutely have to have every once in a while). I had to cut dairy out of my diet due to respiratory problems, so the acne clearing up was definately an added bonus.

I'm also looking for a bbq sauce you can just buy at the regular grocery store....

Good luck!

nasalady Contributor

I get canker sores all over the inside of my mouth if I've been badly glutened. I haven't had any canker sores since I went gluten free.

As to the chapped lips, yes, my lips are always dry (I carry Chapstick or some sort of lip balm everywhere). But I think I've recently developed Sjogren's Syndrome, which causes dry mouth and dry eyes; it's another autoimmune disease. I happen to be really really good at developing autoimmune diseases! :(

But this time I apparently had help.

I've been taking Fosamax for osteopenia but just recently found out that Fosamax has been implicated in several cases of women suddenly developing Sjogren's. So I'm going to ask my doctor about alternatives to Fosamax, because it can cause cancer too.

I got canker sores ~ weekly for 20 years. Since going gluten-free I've had 3 or 4, only after an accidental glutening. My son also used to get them...he once got one with a few minutes of eating gluten, which was the final straw for me and he went gluten-free shortly thereafter.

I've also had the water blisters develop on contact w/in 15 minutes of eating gluten.

I also have the chapped lip problem develope suddenly last year, along with a dry mouth and eyes and other areas. I suspect Sjogrens but am hoping that it clears up now that I'm reliably gluten-free.

eringopaint Newbie

hmmm... I have very dry eyes but it was always blamed on my hard contact lenses. If it's Sjogrens and in turn gluten, would make sense to me.

[Hello - I was amazed to find someone else who could connect chapped lips with gluton problems. My daughter has had chonric chap lips all her life, she is now 9 and we finally found a doctor who would look further than constipation as her only problem, and she is gluton sensitive. Now that makes sense with the always chapped lips, I just knew it! So it was nice finding your note and being allowed to tell you that yes, you are not alone with the chapped lips and gluton issue. Wow, another answer finally received. Thank You

Hydrokube Rookie

wendyloo, what food did you stop eating that made your symptoms disappear? I have terrible acne that won't go away (I'm 25 years old), and I actually have a canker sore right now!

Bottom-Line Newbie

Yep I get canker sore really bad and the doctors all said they weren't sure why I got them but it was most likely because my immune system was low. As long as I stay away from gluten, the canker sores stay away from me.

Libbyanne Newbie

I've been gluten-free for a week and woke up with a canker sore this morning (had accidentally ingested gluten the morning before in my breakfast - maple syrup on gluten-free Waffles <_<) I can't remember the last time I had a canker sore. That is the second time I've ingested gluten on accident so far and it seems my list of reactions just keeps getting longer. This is getting very frustrating :unsure:

Hi this is my first post ever. I do not know what "Pinned" is before the topic and color. I am on the Celiac diet although my blood test came back negative. I have all the symptoms (Dr. thought I had Celiac) and was gluten free almost 2 weeks before the blood test. So I continue to have my doubts about whether I have it or not.

Although I am still on the Celiac diet, I continue to have canker sores and a bad burning taste on my lips and tongue. I have been yeast free for years. I find I am now lactose intolerant. The additives included on the Celiac additives list had made me sick. My medications have been reformulated to eliminate the additives and fillers. I feel somewhat better.

But I continue with acid, canker sores, a burning tongue and lips. I would like to put the face with the red tongue but I do not know how.

Please let me know if my posting is in the right place, or if I threw in too many things. I know nothing about posting.

My canker sores are gone after 1 yr gluten-free. My lips are no longer chapped all the time.

I wear hard lenses and my eyes had been getting progressively drier in the last few years, heading toward a point of giving up contacts. Last spring when I saw the Dr he recommended a prescription to help produce tears. Since I had just started on the gluten-free diet I decided to skip the prescription and see what happened.

On Tuesday I saw the eye Dr and he was very surprised at the change in my eyes... nowhere near as dry as they had been in past visits. He asked what I was doing differently and seemed informed about celiac.

Have to believe the gluten had something to do with it.

Sores and chapped lips = food allergies

You have a delicate system.

I used to get those canker sores in my mouth too.... I got them only from eating gluten and wheat products. I only would have 1 or 2.

They went away almost immediately, when I started the gluten/wheat free diet.

They can be a sign of a weak immune system as well. Normally, your doctor will test you for anything that would compromise your immune system. I never had anything that would really compromise me at all. I went through a lot of test with my hematologist.

Most doctors think of thrush first..when you have anything like that going on.

You can get sores on your tongue, if u have allergies, anemia or some other things.

Most the time, if you have this.... the hospital or doctor will ask you...

Are you following the gluten diet???

If you have alot of pain with them... You should gargle with salt water or use some special mouthwash/cream(oral gel) for the pain...

They can hurt, when you eat certain foods..

hope that helped...

before my 2yo was diagnosed she had a little sore in the corner of her mouth (on the outside) that had been there for months. (the dr had told me it was normal and not to worry about it). hasn't been seen since she went gluten-free.

i get my dx today but i almost always have a mouthful of sore spots :( they aren't ulcers as even my dentist couldn't see anything when she checked, and it's definitely not infected gums. (i've never heard of canker sores before so am assuming i have what you're talking about). the dentist thinks i have 'burning gum syndrome' which usually only old (70's, 80's) women get.

Leslied Newbie

It is so nice to see that there are so many new members :D I am going to a gastro enterologist today to see if he can help me with the sores that remain, some of the symptoms that continue after following a yeast free gluten fee lactose free diet for several weeks now. Foods that I have eaten before are causing my mouth to burn immediately.

I had a hard time finally finding a doctor who diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, and I go to this appointment almost ready for the attitude a doctor often gives to women who have complaints that are not easy to resolve. I have my fingers crossed.

It is wonderful to get so many answers and feel supported.

Thanks.

My dd recently told me she had chapped lips and if she used "lip stuff" they got more chapped. She has had canker sores before but only a couple of them. I will take more notice of both from now on.

Same with her skin, if she uses lotions, they bother her skin as if she has drier skin.

Also she has had oily hair recently. When she ate gluten it made her head itch which caused her hair to be more oily. When she wasn't scratching, it wasn't oily. Look up "sebum" for oily hair and skin.

Thanks for this thread!

Hey Peach Blossom! ;)

I've had severely dry lips with and without gluten so that's a toss up. The acne though, I understand. I'm only 18 but I've never had a problem until I got kidney infections then it was just the infection sthat came out as acne, perhaps thats the problem? I mean it could be any infection.... Any way, I'm waiting for a full auto-immune blood test to come back. I may have more so maybe thats related. I hope your brother and your self do well!,

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
