I have gotten canker sores my entire life. I think that they can be hereditary because my paternal grandma gets them too. I seem to have a lot of traits that she has. Interesting how genetics work. Anyway, after I was diagnosed I thought maybe my Celiac was the reason. And here I am, over a year later, and I still get them. I’m so vigilant and I know it’s not my Celiac. I’m bummed that being gluten-free hasn’t stopped them.

Im the executive director of a nonprofit and I have two kids (ages 2 and 4), so my life is rather chaotic. I notice these damn things when I’m stressed COMBINED with a run down immune system. My kids each battled 103 fevers for almost a week this month and right after that BAM. I have had a couple. I have a plastic retainer and I think that it has a tendency to rub the inside of my lip. I don’t seem to notice them randomly. I seem to get them from trauma, like biting. 

Anyone else who deals with these? Like I said, I  think they’re hereditary in my case. What a pain.

Never.  But my Both my SILs get them.  Stress tends to bring them on according to them.  I hope your little ones recover fast.  Summer virus can be tough.  ?

Hello!

I have no idea if canker sores are something that can be hereditary...but at this point anything is possible ?. I too have gotten them all my life but I mostly attributed that to what I was eating. When I started getting them it was years before I ever knew what celiac was or that I had it. I know that they can be caused by several factors including stress/vitamin deficiencies but when I was little...and even now, I ate a lot of high acidic fruits and veggies as well as a lot spicy foods which are both known to also be a contributing factor. I've only had my celiac diagnosis for a few days and haven't been gluten free long enough to know if celiac was the only cause of my canker sores or it was a combination of the high acidic foods, my vitamin deficiencies and the celiac. I do know that I when I slow down on the high acidic and spicy foods for a while, the sores tend to heal up quickly.

There are some helpful tips in this article.  

Under stress, your body requires extra B vitamins.  Taking extra B complex when stressed helps me keep cold sores at bay.

Hope they heal soon.

Fmbm,

I used to have to deal with them.

Lysine will help with them and swilling with salt water will help them go away quicker.

Here is an exhaustive thread about this topic.

I hope this is helpful. But it is not medical advice.

      My bone structure is disintegrating and I’m having to have my teeth removed

      There’s a Cosco in Auckland in New Zealand. It’s a bit away from where I live but it’s worth the travel for me. Very appreciative of your advice.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      It seems you have proven that you cannot eat gluten.  You've done what your doctors have not been able to do in 40 years. That's your low vitamin D, a common symptom with Celiac Disease.  Zinc is also a common defiency.  Its an antiviral.  that's why zinc gluconate lozenges work against airborne viruses.  Vitamin D and the Immune System+ Toe cramps, I find 250 mg of Thiamine helps.   When I started GFD I counted 19 symptoms going back to childhood that improved with Gluten Free Diet and vitamin D. I still take 10,000 IU a day to maintain 80 ng/ml and get it tested 4 times a year. Highest was 93 ng/ml and that was at end of summer.  Any excess is stored in fat or excreted through bile.   The western diet is deficient in many nutrients including choline and iodine.  Thats why processed foods are fortified.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of vitamins and minerals from the small intestine damage.  GFD stops the damage, but you will still have symptoms of deficiency until you get your vitamins repleted to normal.  Try to reduce your omega 6:3 ratio.  The Standard American Diet is 14:1 or greater.  Healthy is 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Potatoes are 3:1 while sweet potatoes are 14:1.  So those sweet potatos that everyone says is better than Russet: they are increasing your inflammation levels.

      Weird Symptoms

      My mother also has celiac disease, and one of her symptoms for many years before her diagnosis was TMJ. I believe it took her many years on a gluten-free diet before this issue went away.

      Weird Symptoms

      By Jeff Platt · Posted

      Ear pain and ringing your entire life may or may not be TMJ related but could be something else. A good TMJ exam would be helpful to rule that out as a potential cause from a dentist who treats that. I have teens as well as adults of all ages who suffer from TMJ issues so it’s not a certain age when it shows up.

      Weird Symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      Not sure if related to coeliac disease but my ear ringing  has stepped up a notch since diagnosis.  Even since a child silence really hurts my ears - there is always a really loud noise if there is no other noise in a quiet room - but my brain has learned to filter it out.  Since diagnosis in my forties I also get a metallic ringing in my ears, sometimes just one, sometimes both.  But it comes and goes.   My sister also suffers now, we are both in our fifties, but she is not a coeliac, so for all I know it could just be an age thing.  I do get occasional stabbing pain in my ears but that has been all my life, and I do appear to be vulnerable to outer ear infections too.  So not a particularly helpful reply here, but I suppose what I am trying to say is it might be related but then again it could just be one of those things.   I think in the UK where I live doctors like you to report if you get tinnitus in just the one ear.  I reported mine but no cause was found.  Most of the time it is nothing but sometimes it can have a cause that can be treated, so perhaps worth reporting to your GP.
