Blood Blisters

Strange question, but I keep getting blood blisters and canker sores in my mouth. Is this a sign of being glutened??

Thanks :-P

It certainly could be. I always get a canker sore when glutened and before I was diagnosed, I would frequently get them and sometimes a blood blister, too.

I never get the blisters anymore. :)

Thanks. I never really thought of it until now. I used to have them all the time, and then went gluten free, and now today I am not feeling hot and noticed I have a few blood blisters.....

Hrrrrmmmm....wonder what it was that got me?!?!?

I got a really nasty one at the back of my throat after eating flavoured crisps. It started to choke me a bit but then fortunately popped leaving me with a mouth full of blood. Nice!

I got one at the weekend from Free From biscuits, which are really hard and crunchy, so maybe it's because the food scratches the cheek and lets a foreign substance enter the bloodstream? Maybe the body creates a blister to isolate it or wash it away?

The blood blisters in my mouth are the direct result of eating foods that are either cooked or stored in aluminum. Aluminum contamination is the worst but I also can get them from foods cooked in poor quality stainless steel and other metals. A week ago I ate a small box of baked crackers that were packaged in aluminum foil and had an unusually severe blister reaction. I have resorted to using only glass cook ware and will buy only crackers, etc. packaged in paper or plastic. This is an easy hypothesis to prove for yourself through simple avoidance.... My dentist several years ago put me through a rather expensive test to determine my sensitivity to dental materials which included a test for sensitivity to metals..... Aluminum, copper and moledneum topped the list of toxics for me.... Harry

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Celiacsugh · Posted

      Thanks! I still have much to learn, I'd hoped going gluten-free would be a magic bullet and I'm learning my system is still very sensitive which is overwhelming and discouraging at times. Thanks for the yogurt tip! There is comfort in knowing that this is common during early healing and I'm not alone!

      Thanks so much for the response. Are you usually able to pinpoint a trigger when you get the pain again? What I didn’t share in my earlier post is that I also usually eat out on weekends (though I share celiacs/needs to be gluten-free) and I’ve also been under a lot of stress lately in my personal life. While I’m speculating that it’s the wine it could certainly be a number of things. Do you ever notice the pain more when you are stressed? Learning so much about the brain/gut connection and celiacs. Thanks, there is comfort in hearing others have experienced similar symptoms.

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.
