"blisters" In Mouth?

Not sure if anyone else gets this.

On and off I will get what is like a little blister type thing in my mouth, towards the back just behind my back molars, but not as far back as my tonsils. I notice it as a bump, and it doesn't hurt or anything, its just there until it either goes away or I burst it if I mess with it. They just randomly pop up, I'd say I get them about every week.

Looking at it in the mirror it looks sort of clear, and it seems to be fluid filled, so I figure it is some sort of blister.

Just to clear it up, I do not get cold sores, only sometimes canker sores (this is neither of those though).

Some people with celiac suffer from Aphthous Stomatitis, which simply means canker sores; however, my daughter's "canker sores" were classified by her dentist as something other than canker sores and more like the result of an immune system disorder. Uh, perhaps celiac? I hypothesize that they're actually Dermatitis Herpetiformis blisters inside the mouth. My daughter has been tortured by them since she three years old.

I thought I was the only one. I do have a gluten sensitivity. and get them on the inside of my bottom lip. Tiny ones maybe 1 or two for about 2 months now, I couldnt figure out what they were.

I get something similar. It often happens after eating but I never narrowed it down to one thing in particular... pizza is especially bad, though.

I will get a clear bump on the back/top of my mouth, on my palette. It doesn't hurt, I can just feel it sticking out. It is really weird because I get mouth sores and have as long as I can remember but this is totally different. It seems to pop up in response to something specific.

Just for the record, I am still eating gluten but still noticed it when Gluten-Free as well.

It is a mystery to me as to what causes them, but yeah it could be a sensitivity to a certain food.

I get these on the roof of my mouth and (primarily) under my tongue. I agree, they are DEFINATELY NOT canker sores (I get those nasty things, too) and do not hurt. They'll stick out far enough to be a bit of an annoyance, but I just 'pop' them and then they are gone seemingly right away.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Diabetes and Celiac often go hand in hand.  Having more than one autoimmune disease is common with Celiac.  I'd err on the side of caution and go gluten free.   I did not want to go on insulin, either.  I got my diabetes under control by following the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (Dr. Sarah Ballantyne).  My diet now does include carbs.   We're supporting you through this difficult time.

      This Roller Coaster Ride Needs to Stop

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38,  I've been there with horrible symptoms and diarrhea accidents and diabetes and the insulin conundrum!  My doctors were just as frustrating!   I had nutritional deficiencies.  I know your doctors refuse to test for this.  So did mine, saying "I can't make money prescribing vitamins."  Some members say a naturopathic doctor is more open to testing for deficiencies.  Remember not to start supplementing until after testing is done.  Otherwise the supplements will raise your blood levels falsely.   I had studied Nutrition at university, so I decided to supplement essential vitamins and minerals.  A B Complex, extra Thiamine (Benfotiamine) for the diabetes, magnesium and Vitamin D are the supplements I started with.   The B vitamins are water soluble so any excess is excreted easily.  Thiamine even in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Diabetics lose more thiamine in urine because of weird kidney stuff.   I wanted to get my blood glucose levels under control because gluten free foods made my level spike for long periods, too.  I absolutely did not want to go on insulin.  Once you do, the pancreas stops making it.  Very scary.  Best to help the pancreas function with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine. I began the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (developed by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, A Celiac herself).  It's a low carb, very strict diet at first, then expanded.  I considered it similar to feeding a sick baby.  You don't give hard to digest foods to a baby.  You give easily digestible foods.  This allows time for the gastrointestinal tract to calm down and heal.  Symptoms started to calm down quickly.  With the vitamins, I started feeling much better.  My blood glucose levels stabilized.  I did not go on insulin.  I do not take anti-glycemic pharmaceutical drugs like Metformin.  Just diet.  You're making the right decision to live as a Celiac.  Your body is telling you clearly.  You can get through this.  You're strong and you're fighting for yourself and your baby.  Good job!  You have the Tribe behind you!

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Though trying to diligently eat gluten free, recent bloodwork was bad so searching for culprits.  Eat lot of (preferably mixed) nuts.  Most allergen labels say may be processed on equpment that also processes wheat, etc.  Finally found ONE kind (unsalted mixed) at BJ's.  Wessley (their store brand) that did not contain that warning.  Says in large letters "A GLUTEN FREE FOOD."  Well, all nuts are a gluten free FOOD!  Have been eating and now wonder if this is intentionally decieving.  So stopped eating until find culprit.  Nuts are so good for protein and fiber (especially if trying to not eat meat).  'Tis so frustrating.  Thanks to above, I'll look into Tierra Farms.

      Yasso frozen yogurt bars - be careful

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Despite being very diligent about eating gluten free, my recent bloodwork was bad.  So been on a mission to find the culprit(s).  During Covid my daughter found "certified gluten free" Yasso mint chocolate chip yogurt bars at Costco.  I was elated and have been eating them since.  When delving into possible culprits I discovered that the boxes with 12 bars at both Costco and BJ's no longer say "certified gluten free."  But the boxes with 4 bars at groceries and Target still say "certified gluten free."  Contacted the manufacturer and was told to go by what the box says.  So guess different machinery is used.  Was also told they were in the process of changing boxes.  Will be interesting to see what that brings.
