Mouth Ulcers A Symptom

Do you get blood blisters in the mouth that come and go and vary in size and usually come in groups and sometimes the epiglottis is sore too? Is this a symptom of gluten intolerance?

Thanks,

Leslie

Yes. Yes. Yes.

I get the tingling, sense of swelling, and breaking out in the mouth before any of the other symptoms arrive. It is my first clue to get back home where I can deal with the gastro stuff. The sores in my mouth range from the white canker sores across the gamut through red painful places to actual splits or rivers in my tongue. I'm not sure which is the most painful. I have talked to others who get a similar thing as well.

I am sorry to hear that you go through that. Mine is different. I know I have a gluten sensitivity because the pain in my stomach and other gastro symptoms went away immedicately. But 10 days later and I have a crop (first time in 10 days-was almost constant and bigger ones)of small red blood blisters, small pinprick size and two more ant bite size, but unlike I've heard elsewhere, they are blood not canker. Help? It seemed a systemic outbreak as my stomach is a bit upset (first time in 10 days) and I am bleeded from the other end too. I see the asthma specialist March 2 ( began as a Larygopharneal reflux problem) and I'm afraid 1) The testing will be off gluten 6 weeks and 2) It's something else (maybe worse). Does it take more than 10 days for these symptoms to go away? What do you think?

Worried to death!

Yes, it can take much more than 10 days for the symptoms to go away. I had an accidental gluten ingestion in August and am just now down to the last two or three spots healing. Usually the mouth sores come and go for a while before finally completely healing. I get both the canker sore type and the red painful ones.

Is there any chance that your spots are similar to petichial (sp) hemorrhaging? I get those little pin prick size (and sometimes a little larger) on my body after having an incident. The doc has me on B vitamin injections to help since in my case it is apparently caused by a problem with the nerve endings.

I hope that your problems are all celiac related and will heal up over time. Many of us have asthma and other problems especially at the beginning. My throat closes up and my tongue feels as though it is too big. I get so frustrated when I strangle on my own saliva. After being gluten-free for almost two years, it only occurs rarely when I accidentally get into something.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By cristiana · Posted

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Pasballard · Posted

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Colonoscopy with large area of inflammation

      By growlinhard1 · Posted

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.

      Vaccines

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The flu vaccine is indeed not 100% effective every year, as its effectiveness varies depending on how well the vaccine strains match the circulating flu viruses. However, even in years when the match is less than perfect, the flu vaccine still provides significant benefits. Studies consistently show that vaccinated individuals who contract the flu often experience milder symptoms, a lower risk of complications, and a reduced likelihood of hospitalization or death compared to those who are unvaccinated. For high-risk groups, such as the elderly, young children, and individuals with chronic health conditions, the flu vaccine remains a critical tool for reducing severe outcomes. Regarding the mention of risks associated with vaccines, it’s important to note that the flu vaccine is generally very safe for most people. Serious side effects are extremely rare, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks for the vast majority of individuals. If someone has specific concerns about vaccine safety due to medical conditions or allergies, they should consult their healthcare provider to discuss their options. As for alternative measures like a D Lamp (ultraviolet light disinfection), while these can be useful for reducing pathogens in the environment, they are not a substitute for vaccination. The flu virus spreads primarily through respiratory droplets, and personal protection measures like hand hygiene, masking, and improving indoor ventilation can complement vaccination but cannot replace its targeted immune protection.
