Here's A New One... Peeling Mouth


gatita

I've seen that sore tongue and some mouth problems can be both symptoms of celiac and/or B vitamin deficiencies, but on the old posts here, most people say it cleared up after going gluten-free.

I'm 6 months gluten-free this week and am only rarely glutened anymore (yipee!! :) ) But suddenly I have this sore, cracked tongue, enlarged taste buds, and even weirder, peeling skin on the inside of my lips and cheeks.

I know I've had a B2 dificiency because I had cracked corners on my mouth, but that cleared up pretty quick from the mega-B vitamins I'm now taking.

Then this thing just started all of a sudden.

Anyone else had it or know what it is?

B vitamin overdoses can cause some nasty symptoms, you may want to look into that if you've been megadosing on stuff for awhile. Not sure if mouth sores are one of them.

I seem to constantly have a very dry tongue with sores on it, and I've cycled through some foods trying to avoid it with possible success, but definitely no peeling skin. Last I looked at things it looked at my mouth it looked almost like regular cold sores, and I wouldn't be surprised if, for myself, it's just herpes flare-ups.

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
