Dawnie, yes it's really hard to hold a mouthful of yogourt in your mouth without swallowing it down lol
Would be a good party game lol
Hope you get something to help the discomfort soon and find out why you are getting them.
Take care

It could be that you are allergic to something you are eating. I can eat an orange two days running, but if I eat any more I will get amouthful of ulcers. Strong cheese will do it for some people. Salt water gargle with a little bicarbonate of soda added may help. Jean

Dawnie - see your GP!

Hi

Another thing my dad had with his mouth ulcers was Defflam which I bought over the counter in Boots but came fro the dispensary and also something else recommended by practice nurse but didnt give it to my dad was an Oral paste, again your pharmacy shouldbe able to know what that is, its a thick paste apparently and should also help.

Regards

Jayne

There is a theory that mouth ulcers can be caused by a vitamin B deficiency.
Apart from bonjela and corsodyl, there are a couple of other medications that can soothe the pain. Adcortyl in orabase, and corlan pellets. Corlan pellets were prescription only, but I seem to think you can buy them over the counter now. The downside of them is that you are supposed to balance them over the ulcer and let them dissolve.
You can't cure ulcers, only soothe the pain until they disappear naturally - approx 10 days.

The simplest relief for mouth ulcers is pure pineapple juice it has a natural healing enzyme which soothes and heals
sip it through a straw and hold it in the mouth for as long as possible

Corsodyl very good, sometimes mouth ulcers are caused by lack of minerals, maybe you could take mineral supplements.

Corsodyl. Buy it from the chemist. It is quite expensive, but available on prescription. Used it when I had mouth ulcers during chemo, and can vouch for it.

Sympathise with you D.
Hope they go soon.

I would splash out on a jar of Manuka honey, Dawnie. I got it for my friend when she was going through chemo, and it really did get rid of her mouth ulcers. Plus it is delicious to eat! BC XX

have you tried beening tested for a wheat allergy iam a coeliac and used to get lots of uclers in my mouth now iam fine after being diagnosed by blood test .

Poor you Dawnie, the yogourt really helps with thrush so I was hoping it would help with the ulcers too.
Corsodyl is good but can stain your teeth which is a big disadvantage.
I would think the honey especially Manuka altho it is very expensive, is really worth while getting for all things needing help with healing. It is working wonders on a neighbour's leg ulcers.
Will put the restless legs thing in the post tomorrow.
Do hope you can get some relief soon for the ulcers.

CORSODYL - it brilliant - a bit dear to buy but worth every penny - excellent stuff.

spoon of honey and let it melt in the mouth,,,,it has natural antiseptics in,,,,,,,,,last thing at bedtime,,,,,,,,,,

Apparently liquorice helps...... my step daughter used to have them constantly (eventually diagnosed with Chrohns) and liquorice helped her!

Are you stressed Dawnie, only that is the only time I get them........I use Bonjela or the old fashioned salty water gargle......miserable things aren't they.......hope they disappear soon.......x

I'm Type 2 Diabetic. Mouth ulcers can be a frequent problem for diabetics. If you are overweight might be an idea to ask you GP for test to see if you diabetic.

Here's a few indications of Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes often develops slowly. Most people who get it have increased thirst and an increased need to urinate.
Many also feel tired, irritable and nauseous. Some people have an increased appetite, but they lose weight.
Other signs are:
· Repeated or hard-to-heal infections of the skin, GUMS, vagina, or bladder;
· Blurred vision;
· Tingling or loss of feeling in the hands or feet;
· Dry, itchy skin.
The symptoms can be so mild that they go unnoticed. They may also be confused with signs of ageing. It is thought that millions of people worldwide suffer from type 2 diabetes

One of my ladies has been quite ill and got mouth ulcers. I gave her some Manuka Honey 20+ and it cleared it up quite quickly.

I find rinsing in corsodyl mouthwash the night before helps. The next morning I find the pain has gone.
