Anyone Experience This Symptom?

Hello, my name is Andrew. This appears to have started 9 months ago. It is very unpleasant, however I am not sure what it means. I suffered with these things for 9 months thinking it had something to do with my antibiotic treatment for Lyme disease.

Basically when I eat anything with gluten in it, I get painful canker sores on the back of my mouth/throat. I don't think I have Celiac because I have no other symptoms. I am 25 years old and this just came out of nowhere. I am pretty sure that this is caused by eating gluten, because when I make sure to have no gluten they go away, and then when i screw up they come back really bad.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Thank you,

Andrew

canker sores are definitely a sign of celiac...I had a sore throat for MONTHS and since I have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks, it has absolutely gone away..I never even mentioned it to my Dr. because I had so many weird, non GI seemingly unrelated symptoms which all seem to have come from celiac.

If you think you have celiac and are able to, I would definitely get it checked out.

Canker sores plagued me from about the age of 6. They were one of the first symptoms to dissappear when I went gluten free. They also pop back up when I slip up. The mouth is part of the digestive tract. If you notice gluten is a trigger for canker sores, just imagine what is happening further down the GI system.

Canker sores are my first and most reliable indication of when I have been exposed to gluten. I had them horribly for years, then they disappeared within 2 weeks of going gluten free - I was so happy!

I don't think you should treat it too lightly, it means that somehow the gluten is damaging your body. Your only obvious symptom may be the sores, but you don't know how else they may be effecting you. If you want to get tested for celiac then kepe eating lots of gluten until all the testing is done. If you're not too worried about testing then try the gluten free diet and see how you feel - you may be surprised!

This post made me think of something from my childhood. What I now know as canker sores, my mother called lie bumps :huh: . She said that is what her g-mother called them and said you would get them from telling a lie. I grew up being told this nonsense. It makes sense that people in my family had enough of them to give them a name, almost everyone has had or has bowel issues of some sort.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.
