MOUTH ULCERS

THIS IS SO PAINFUL.  I DO VITS AND PROTEIN FAITHFULLY.  JUST WONDER IF ANYONE ESLE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM.

Sarita,

I had that problem about a year ago but I was eating a lot of tomato based sauce.  I don't know for sure that prompted it, but I had to just not eat anything acidic for a while.  After about a month, they went away and I've had no problems since. I wonder if it was some sort of yeast type problem in my mouth and the acid just aggravated it.

not sure that will help.

TY. I''VE HAD ALMOST WENT BACK TO LIQUIDS AND BLAND FOOD. HAD A CRYSTAL LITE ORANGE DRINK WITH PEACH NECTAR PROTEIN(WHICH IS GREAT) AND BROKE OUT AGAIN.  SO, NO MORE OF THAT  FOR A WHILE. THANKS AGAIN

It may not have anything to do with vit. or supp. intake/deficiency, but can be caused by a cold virus, akin, to all things, the same type that causes Herpes, or one of many other types of oral infections  ..  

 I found a really good oral rinse at Wal-Mart the other day that is NOT alcohol-based (so it won't burn or make things worse) and is specifically designed for mouth sores and ulcers.   I can't think of the name of it irght now, but will check when I get home.   The downside is that it is NOT cheap .. 

Go get some Lysine. It's a supplement in the B vit family I think. I learned about it from a friend who would get coldsores  with  her  monthly. Take one 4 times a day until they are cleared up. They are small  white tabs you can crush easily. I keep it on hand for when my dermatitis gets bad too. Also rinse with warm sal****er to clear the bacteria. If this doesn't help call the Dr. it maybe a sign of vitamin deficiency. Hope this helps. Miss Jean

hey there,
rinse several times a day with sal****er. No acidic food or drinks (tomato based, soda or coffee) L-Lysine in the vit isle helps as does Abreva.  Abreva is located with the carmex, orajel etc. Its not cheap, but there is usually a store brand for it. It burns like a MF when you first use it, but you will feel relief within hours.
Hope this helps

Okay, you're soooo gonna think I have lost my ever lovin' mind here! LOL My Dad had ulcers for years. He would hold Listerine in his mouth until he nearly cried. He finally saw a doctor about it and they told him that the ulcers were part of the Smallpox family. They actually gave him another smallpox vaccination. He didn't have another ulcer for about 20 years! Sadly, I guess I inherited the problem from him.What works for me, and here comes the crazy part (it worked for my dad, so I tried it) Camphophenique. Yes, I know you are not supposed to put it in your mouth!!!! It tastes like hell!!! I put a dab on an ulcer when I first notice it, let the saliva  build up and spit it out so I don't swallow it.  Reapply as necessary. The ulcer will be less painful and is usually gone within a couple of days.

Yall flame if you must, but it works for me and hasn't killed me yet, I've been doing this for about 30 years now! LOL

Try getting a styptic pencil - they are by the razors and if you will touch it to the cold sore it will cauterize it.  Sure makes them less painful.

Sarita,
You are not along girl! I am dealing with one now that is the worse I have ever had in my life. I have had it now for over a week and it is soooooo painful. I have not eaten much at all since last week sometime, and it has made my sleep very miserable at night.  I have been using the oragel mouth wash for mouth ulcers now for almost 5 days. GRRRRRRRR  I did go by me some of the L-Lysine today and took one right away at lunch.  I need to know what the correct amount is we need to take a day though.  If someone could chime in on this I sure would be grateful.  Good Luck Sarita, hope you find relief soon.
