You may want to be checked for vitamin deficiencies.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which results in malnutrition.  Deficiencies in different vitamins can result in different kinds of mouth sores.  

Vitamin C deficiency causes sores on the gums.  Vitamins B 12, B 6, and B 3 can cause changes of the tongue and lips.  Deficiencies of minerals such as zinc, iron, and calcium can affect oral health as well.

I don't know if emuaid is gluten free, but I hope the articles help.

nancy beal,

knitty kitty has given you some good links.

But I have found Lysine helped me.

Emuaid is recommended for external use only.

here is my response from another thread.  This topic comes up often.  It is a long thread (and an old one)

so I am quoting the relevant information from now on copied form another thread.

"see this thread in spells out how I took Lysine to help my canker sores.

I hope this is helpful.

You might also have low stomach acid.  We get low in our amino acids when our stomach acid is not strong enough to digest proteins.

http://healthbeatnews.com/whats-burning-you/

from the article

"Jonathan Wright, M.D., well-known and respected holistic physician, states that “Although research in this area is entirely inadequate, its been my clinical observation that calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, copper, chromium, selenium, manganese, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt, and many other micro-trace elements are not nearly as well-absorbed in those with poor stomach acid as they are in those whose acid levels are normal. When we test plasma amino acid levels for those with poor stomach function, we frequently find lower than usual levels of one or more of the eight essential amino acids: isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Often there are functional insufficiencies of folic acid and/or vitamin B12.”

Again I hope this is  helpful but this not medical advice just things I have found that helped me.

And swilling salt water (be sure spit it out and don't swallow it) helps them go away quicker and taking Lysine can help keep them away after your current bout/round of mouth sores go away.

Once or twice a day of Lsyine will keep most ulcers at bay.  Remember it is an essential amino acid and we have to eat food with enough Lysine everyday or we get low in it since our body can't store most amino acids for more than 24 hours and why supplementing with Lysine helps.

Just trying to help those, God being my help, with the things that helped me with those still suffering.

Knowledge is power pass it one."

2 Corinthians 1: 3, 4

Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;

Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

posterboy,

I also want to say if you have cracked skin on the outside of your face that is painful try some B-2 Riboflavin.

It is noted in the link thread Knitty Kitty provided in table 2.

It helped my angular cheilitis . . that I had for years and I thought I would never get rid of it.

google images of Angular cheilitis and you will see what it looks like.

It is essentially oral sores on the outside of the mouth.  from where your lips leak from the sides of the mouth.

It can be common in older people and is a sign of poor nutrition often.

Emuaid might be good for that but it (Emuaid) doesn't recommend  Emuaid for oral use though Emuaid does have Lysine in it.

They are probably only saying it out of an abundance of caution . . . but it is best only to use any product as directed.

Again I hope this is helpful.

**** this is not medical advice but taking Lysine helped me.

posterboy,

EMUAID is gluten free and safe to use internally to an extent. It's not made for consumption but it's safe to use on mucosal areas such as the inside of the mouth, nasal cavity, genitals and anus. It's a 100% natural modern homeopathic topical medicine.

      Here is a recent reply to a Celiac.com email asking for comment about gluten contamination detected in their bakery products: You can read more about it in this thread:

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.

      Inovera offers a supplement called Forvia that they claim is formulated for better absorption for those with GI issues including Celiacs Disease.    I would love to hear if anyone has tried it and thinks it might be good.

      You are most welcome, Marie.  Thank you for getting in touch, because this sort of post will be seen by other parents who find themselves in this position, I am sure there are many.   And as I say, in the long run, I am sure your daughter will be sorry for what she said.  I remember having a go at my dear Mum when I was in my twenties about something and then apologising, saying, "I don't know how you put up with me."  I can't remember her exact words but it was something along the lines of, "I used to say things like to my Mum.  Now it's my turn [to be on the receiving end]!"    😂  Although it isn't very nice to be on the receiving end, it is good your daughter feels safe to say these things to you. We look forward to hearing from you again in due course.
