I Can'T Get Rid Of My Canker Sores!

Hi, I am desperate. I have been cankersores nonstop! I have been gluten free for about 1.5 years and all was going well until a few months ago. It seems that I have a duodenal ulcer, but I also have cankersores everywhere and once they heal I get more of them. I have been checking and rechecking my diet to see if I am getting gluten. Someone mentioned that I may have another food intolerance causing them.

Any advice or thoughts are appreciated.

It would be helpful to know if you have any other symptoms other than the canker sores. What are your doctors doing for your duodenal ulcer?

Yes, other food intolerances are a possibility; do you avoid anything other than gluten? And do you keep a food diary? Are you on any other medications? Methotrexate gave me apthous ulcers in the mouth.

I'd agree that it could be some additional food intolerance. If you eat dairy, that would be my first suspect. The remaining top allergens should also be considered, though without more insight, there's no way anyone can be certain. It sounds like you'll need to avoid some foods for awhile and see what happens. Once you get relief, challenge each food you've been avoiding, one at a time, until you narrow down the culprit(s).

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
