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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning?

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive...

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily...

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange.

      Celiac disease symptoms

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly...

In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.
