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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Gigi2025 · Posted

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
