Well...I've just had a bunch of mouth ulcers pop up. Concerned, I went under askjeeves.com and asked for the causes. Did you know "Celiac" came up in the list of causes. Does anybody have a similar story about this and more info?

Thanks,

Celia

I used to get mouth ulcers all the time before I started the gluten free diet. Now when I get them it's usually because I've eaten flour on accident somewhere.....so thankfully thats not often.

Good luck with them, they are no fun. I used to get them down my throat...sorry i know its gross but it is very difficult to live with.

Mouth Ulcers seems to be a common problem amoung Celiacs when contaminated with gluten.

Also, they tend to show up when one gets into way too much sugar goodies. :rolleyes:

I also get them when I eat too many salty snacks, MSG or anything citrus-y.

I used to get them often, pre gluten-free. They usually showed up when I was 'sick'. Now, I only get them if I drink a lot of grape juice.

Most tree nuts (but not almonds and macadamia nuts) do it for me, as well as some dark chocolate...

There's just something in them that doesn't agree with my mouth :o

Thanks everyone on your posts. I went to Houston yesterday and ate out at a Mexican Restaurant. I was real careful with what I ordered but my food must have been contaminated with some gluten. I'm paying for it today. No energy and alot of gas. Yuck....just when I thought I was healing well, a set back!

there was another forum on this called "mouth sores".

here's my post from there about changing your toothpaste to non-SLS (from a lifetime of horrible ulcers to almost never!) - you can view other posts from there:

      I haven’t been diagnosed formally. My doctor always called it eczema but over the years I have figured out it isn’t.  I’ll do some research on iodine. Thanks for that info.

      I would not think abstaining from commercially processed food would have any effect on dermatitis herpetiformis. What can help with dermatitis herpetiformis is reducing iodine in your diet and, of course, you must completely abstain from gluten.  Many who suffer from dermatitis herpetiformis cannot find relief until they get on a med called Dapsone. It seems to be pretty effective but stresses the liver. So, anyone taking it must have their liver enzymes monitored regularly. By the way, celiac disease is the only know cause for dermatitis herpetiformis. Has your rash been officially diagnosed as dermatitis herpetiformis? It can be a challenge to find a dermatologist who knows how to properly biopsy dermatitis herpetiformis when seeking a diagnosis.

      I was eating gluten at the time it was done. I do not eat commercially processed food and we make it all from scratch so I wonder if that might cause an issue.

      When you had the blood draw done for the antibody testing, had you already been practicing a gluten free diet? If so, that would also sabotage the results of the tTG-IGA.

      The rash on my hands is the little blisters or  dermatitisherpetiformi you are referencing. They itch like crazy and no doctor has ever been able to get them to go away. When I remove gluten from my diet they go away. I decided to do the test for that reason. It’s really my only symptom but my sister has celiac disease and the same hand rash. her doctor recommended I get tested.
