"blisters" In Mouth?


Nen

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.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.
