Recurrent mouth ulcer help!!!

[Nicole2781]

Hello,

I suffer from recurrent mouth ulcers...currently I have about 15 in my mouth and in absolute agony and have been for nearly 2 weeks. They start off as just a couple then as the days go on get bigger and spread in my mouth. SO PAINFUL

I have oragel, difflam oral rinse and although these numb the pain for a bit it's still agony and so hard to eat drink and even talk :(

I went to the docs a few times about it, have suffered since 2010 and I'm 25. Docs tested me for celiac disease which was negative and she said its probably just my hormones causing them. Most times when I'm on, I get ulcers. I have been on for nearly a month as had depo injection and body is being annoying and have now got the worst ulcers ever.

Does anyone else suffer with this? If so, how do you control the outbreaks and how can I get rid of them. I know they're only ulcers but I get so low being in constant pain I just feel like cutting them out!

Please help

I used to suffer badly from ulcers when I was younger. I discovered that they were the result of a food allergy ... weirdly, I'm allergic to any kind of fried potatoes. So, I cut out chips and they went away!

I found this out when I moved out of my parents house when I bought my own flat. Mum used to do chips a couple of times a week at home and I was rarely without an ulcer or two (or more). When I moved out, I never did them myself and so no ulcers.

Strange but true. OP, you too may have an allergy of some sort. You have my sympathy: I hope you get it sorted.

I had my wisdom teeth removed and the number of ulcers dramatically reduced...

I had a couple of weeks of horrible ulcers and it turned out to be an allergy to raw seeds. I'd been having some to be a bit healthier and within a few days my mouth was a mass of ulcers - it was the only reaction.
