Mouth Sores

Can you get mouth sores from eating the gluten? I have had many neg tests(frustrating) but find getting rid of gluten has really helped my tummy pain. I ate gluten yesterday and by the end of the day had mouth sores. I have had them many times but never connected the two. Just did not know why I got them. Tired and frustrated and looking for help! Doctors can only help so much. Realizing their not Gods.

Yes, you can. That was one of my symptoms that went away completely when I went gluten-free.

I also got mouth sores from time to time before going gluten-free. After an accidental cc glutening I got 2 within a couple of hours! :blink:

Definitely! It was one of the wonderful surprises that went away from going gluten-free!

Absolutely. I used to get horrible canker sores that caused my whole mouth and glands to swell. My sister had them to, and in her case, it was an early warning sign of Crohn's Disease.

Called aphthous ulcers...one of the many symptoms of Celiac disease. My son used to get them off and on as a child...no known cause and no treatment necessary according to the Dr. :blink: They would just go away on their own. Then come back. Until we went gluten free...then they never came back again.

We never made a connection until several months gluten free and we realized he hadn't gotten any mouth sores since dropping wheat/gluten. Amazing relief.

I get them on my tongue, inside mouth and lips! Normally dont last long. 1st couple times they gave me this mouthwash but now I just wait and it goes away. I have tested negative for celiacs but have went gluten free before the testing. My tummy and back pain so much better but so hard to watch. Especially using pans, utencils etc cross contamination. I have not gone that far yet! So much stress watching everything that enters the mouth. I also have IC wich limits diet!

Yes, I had mouth ulcers, too, as a symptom of vitamin deficiencies. But the sores got much less numerous and frequent after adding Bronson's Super B's along with the Therapeutic Formula of vitamins and minerals...and then, totally went away after we discovered the celiac disease -- except, of course, if/when I get accidently glutened.

It is essential that we Celiacs take added vitamins and minerals to offset any nutritional deficiencies either because of malabsorption or because of a compromised diet. So, adding a Super B vitamin to you regime could be very helpful. It's nice to know that B vitamins are water soluble and so are not toxic in large amounts - in excess they just wash through your system.

By the way, Bronson vitamin and minerals are sold in many USA medical schools. I buy them over the internet at: Open Original Shared Link But, I am sure there are lots of other equally good companies out there.

This particular company was recommended to me when I was a research subject for many years with the Clayton Foundation Nutritional Research Project at the U of TX, Austin. Unfortunately, the foundation has lost it's funding and are no longer operating. But, they were a fabulous help to me all those years when the medical community was ignorant about celiac disease. In fact, they are the ones who told me I was very vitamin deficient and also discovered the fructose intolerance.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
