Canker sores

So before going gluten free, I would get canker sores all the time as a kid.. I then became sick by vomiting and diahrrea and stomach bloating. So I went to the doctor and they told me 2 try a gluten free diet for 3 months. I got better and sores went away and all. They told me to stay on the diet. So I did and a yr and a half later they decided to blood test me for celiac but it was negative... well this yr iv been having problems with dairy and fructose but the intolerant test for fructose was negative but i was super sick during that 25mg fructose test.. anyway the doctors did a endoscopy on me and colonoscopy to see what's going on..the endoscopy showed I had decreased folds but the biopsy showed my vili were fine. But then again iv been gluten free for 6 yrs now....

 

 

I actually went out to a reastront for the first time last Friday and in the middle of my dinner I had to rush to the bathroom because I was sick.. well the next day I woke up with sores all over in my mouth.(some of the sores in pic)  anyways I'm curious to know if gluten intolerance or celiac causes these sores. 

 

My gi doctor said she thinks I have celiac but with my vili being fine she's not sure... my dietition said if she had to bet she would that if I was tested right off the beginning It all would have been positive 

 

Anyways That was a story about me my question is do any of you get these from gluten 

 

 

I took these pictures to show my gi doctor when I go in the 5th to talk to be and touch bases since all my exams.and tests iv had have been negative of why Dairy and fructose are issues and some other things we can't figure out what...

Get another doctor?  After 6 years gluten-free, your villi should be fine!  If they don't understand that basic piece of info about Celiac, they shouldn't be treating patients .

kkgirl,

This is a two part answer I say you had asked in another thread about decreased folds.

cycyclinglady commented that duodenal folds where a sign of possible "silent" celiac (my term) before villious atrophy showed up.

don't trust dr. google for a dignosis but it can be helpful to guide you in the right direction. 

So i was curious what did medical journals say about decreased folding and there it was in two or three journals and it wasn't recent research either.

This research is 15 or 20 years old and we still wait on villious atrophy for a "biopsy proven" diagnosis.

I sight this source because it mentions different things that does not cause reduced villi height or or affect folds.  Lactose does not cause it nor do parasites.  It seem to be closely related to gluten.

there is a an even earlier citation from the New England Journal of Medicine.

With decreased folds the villi is being affected.  But now that you have a positive antibody test you know now that . . .. but gluten just hasn't destroyed the villi yet.

I wouldn't wait till it does.  You say you responded well to a gluten free diet why chance it.

as for the mouth uclers I've had this happen several times and almost none since I went 100% gluten free if you will take the amino acid lysine in a about a week of less of taking lysine your sores will go into remission.

It is known as oral thrush.

If you can stand it.  using salt water (though it will sting horribly for a few minutes) it can help healing of the sores. swill it around your mouth.  Don't drink it and spit it out can help the healing process.

I used to have them so bad my mouth would drool with salivia trying to soothe my aching mouth and eating can be horrible especially if it (sore) is in a sensitive point on the tongue.

But lysine always got rid of it 1000mg two or three times daily and 3or 4 days they went away.

I hope this is helpful.

Posterboy, canker sores and oral thrush are NOT the same thing.

Kkgirl, good luck with your doctor's appointment, those look painful.

posterboy,

Yeah the decreased folds are in the 2nd part of duodenum mostly. Who knows about that. It is what it is...  and as far as these sores go I'll try lysine. This is just some of the sores in have them all over in my mouth.. it's from yeast?

And thanks so much. I'm hoping to get to bottom of everything.. and they are painful. This is just some of them.

Another thought.

I had two similar episodes of terrible canker sores a few years apart.  They came on really quickly and both times I discovered I had them because when I was eating it felt like there was glass in my marmalade!

Both episodes occurred before my celiac diagnosis and I just have a feeling it was also to do with anemia.  My B12 was very low at diagnosis and I had iron anemia too.  

There are quite a lot of articles on the web about it - here's just one of them.

I hope that you find your answers but might be worth getting your levels of B12 and iron checked and if required, supplement.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, allis! By "skin response to gluten products" are you saying you develop a rash when you use lotions, creams, shampoos, etc. that contain gluten? One of the classical symptoms of celiac disease is a skin rash known as dermatitis herpetiformis or "dermatitis herpetiformis" for short. Celiac disease is the only known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. It has a distinct appearance. It has little blisters or pustules in the bumps. Does this sound like what you experience? Is so, it might be possible to get a punch biopsy done when you are having an outbreak. This would be an alternative to eating gluten. If your skin biopsy was positive for dermatitis herpetiformis you could be diagnosed with celiac disease on that basis alone. Apart from that, I know of no other way to get a diagnosis apart from returning to eating gluten for a period of weeks.

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By allis · Posted

      Hi folks, I have type 1 diabetes and was having some serious digestive symptoms about ten years ago, and my endocrinologist (who sees a lot of type 1s with celiac) told me to assume I was celiac and be gluten free from now on. I’ve been doing so since then, but my skin response to gluten products has been getting worse and worse so I was hoping to get a diagnosis. However, my general practitioner and my endo both told me that to get a celiac dx I would have to eat gluten for six weeks for the antibody test to work! That would make me so sick and unable to work! Is there any way to get a celiac dx through a combination of other tests? Should I give up on seeking a dx and just be more careful about skin contact? Thanks in advance ❤️

      Hi, Were you able to get a response from them? I have written to Nuts.com asking info. om how to they test, etc. I am awaiting a reply. And, my daughter is allergic to tree nuts, so we only buy their straightforward organic dried fruits sans any preservative/additives.

      Rectal pain

      By trents · Posted

      Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

      Rectal pain

      By Kmmmn · Posted

      Sorry, late to the party.  I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59.  This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle.  This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays.  Very weird I know, but it was that regular at times you could set your watch by it.    In my 40's symptoms became less frequent.  I found that by essentially shoving an ice pack up my backside I could get some relief. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Celiac and the PF now occurs pretty much weekly, sometimes more often.  I only just came across this thread so as yet have not mentioned PF to my GI doctor (thought it was just a 'me' thing) but will next time I see him in March.  I feel for you, it is indeed crippling pain.  I am a teacher and I think I have had PF 2 or 3 times in the classroom and have had to call the office for cover until the symptoms and sweating subside.  Good luck.  Hope this helps in some way.
