I do the same thing!:lol: I also pick at them, which is DOUBLE BAD.El_Guapo1976 said:Oh...and if you're anything like me do you find you deliberately open your mouth wide? DON'T! That just makes that little split in the skin wider..
yes, although, I had a hard time tracking it down, the grocery store and pharmacy didn't have it. I think I found it at Wal-mart (which, i know doesn't help you)El_Guapo1976 said:Orabase? Is that over the counter?
Awesome! Thanks Dexky! I will keep that in mind tooGirlygirl, I added triamcinolone to the Wiki list. The website says it is used to treat UC as well so I thought it should be there. My son has the tongue issues too but his have seemingly been helped by taking a B-complex vit. on advice from DustyKat.
I was given that stuff as well. YUCK!I never get them, but when I was 19, I had a mouth full of them. The doctors were stumped and just gave me 'magic mouthwash' to numb the pain until they went away. Four years later, I was dx with Crohn's and I fully believe those ulcers were my first flare. I haven't gotten them since. Well, maybe one here and there, but not a mouthful like that first time.
My how things have changed!Roo doesn't suffer with mouth ulcers.
My son who doesn't have IBD always seemed to be plagued with canker sores, they were pretty frequent and he could have two or three at a time. Did a bit of research and started him on a B Complex tablet once a day about 6 months ago and voila, he has had only one in that time.
That's because methotrexate can interfere with various B complex vitamin metabolism, especially folate.I never did until I started taking methotrexate, now I constantly have them. they hurt. Kinda odd how methotrexate takes the sores from my stomach, but then I get them in my nose and mouth :/
i get them every 3/4 weeks and the only thing that seems to work for me is an oral cream called daktarin,you can get it over the counter (in ireland anyway not sure about other places) its not expensive and the ulcers are gone within a few days,hope this helpsHi all..

you should try daktarin gel you can get it over the counter in ireland so i assume you can in the uk too, its the only thing that works for me the bonjella never didive tried using listerine mouthwash and bonjela, they numb them for a short while but thats it, the pain soon comes back and it feels ten times worse. they are the most frustrating thing ever and the pain is getting unbearable.
You might want to check out the section called Extra Intestinal Manifestations.hi I've just found this post, i am suffering terribly with mouth ulcers and just wondered about anyone else experiences.
