Hey, I'm not a doctor... yet several years ago it was discovered that ulcers were generally caused by bacteria...(heliobacter Pylori). With antibotics it would clear up, and dietary supplementation with the mineral bismuth (like that found in Pepto Bismol) would allow the stomach to completely heal.

bonjela is the most fantastic substance ever for dealing with pain in the mouth. I use it for ulcers, i used it when I had my tooth out and I used about 3 tubes of the stuff when I had my tongue pierced. It numbs and kills germs to clear up the ulcer, its great stuff. between 2 and 3 pounds from any chemist.

Canker sores, also known as mouth ulcers, apthous stomatitis and ulcerative stomatitis, are small painful ulcerations that have yellow-gray centers and a red border. \n\nUsually 1-2mm wide, they occur on non-keratinized mucosa inside the mouth: the inner side of the lips, the tongue, the back and floor of the mouth and the wall of the cheeks. They do not occur on the lips, the gums or the hard roof of the mouth. Ulcers can be single or can occur in clusters.\n\nThe cause of canker sores is uncertain, however, associations with human herpesvirus 6, food sensitivities, stress, and nutrient deficiencies have been suggested. They generally take 1-2 weeks to heal and may recur monthly or several times per year. \n\nCanker sores must be differentiated from drug allergies, herpes simplex infection, Behcet's syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, and squamous cell carcinoma.

In severe cases, systemic glucocorticoids may be prescribed.\n\nTherapeutic Considerations\n\n1) Avoid toothpastes containing sodium lauryl sulfate\nSodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an irritant detergent commonly found in toothpaste. People with recurrent canker sores may benefit by switching to a brand of toothpaste that does not contain SLS, which is believed to abrade the protective mucus layer in the mouth and increase the likelihood of developing canker sores. \n\nResearch studies have found a decreased incidence of recurrent canker sores after two months of avoiding SLS, however, one double-blind study did not support this finding. \n\n2) Deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL)\nDGL is the herb licorice that has had the glycyrrhizic acid removed, the portion that can increase blood pressure. In one research study, DGL was found to promote the healing of canker sores, with a 50-75% improvement in one day. This study used a mouthwash made of powdered DGL mixed with water. \n\nAlternately, DGL tablets can be chewed with water, swished in the mouth and swallowed.\n\n3) Identify and eliminate food sensitivities with an elimination and challenge diet\nFood sensitivities, especially to gluten-containing foods (wheat, rye, barley, oats), have been found clinically to be associated with recurrent canker sores. \n\nThe microscopic appearance of the sores and the increased antibodies to certain food antigens in some people with recurrent canker sores support this theory. Double-blind studies, however, have yet to confirm this.\n\n4) Decrease dietary intake of nitrites\nCured and processed meats, such as bacon, sausage and ham, are high in nitrites. One study found that the risk of esophageal cancer was seven times greater in individuals with a history of canker sores. The authors report that canker sores may be an indicator of a high conversion of nitrites to carcinogenic nitrosamines.\n\n5) Vitamin C\nVitamin C works directly against viruses and has been found to inhibit the herpes virus in vitro. In addition, it inhibits the formation of nitrosamines from dietary nitrites, found in bacon, ham, sausages and other processed meats, and from dietary nitrates, found in vegetables and other foods.\n\n6) Nutrient Deficiency\nThiamin (vitamin B1) deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of canker sores. Other nutrients that have been found to be low in people with recurrent canker sores include riboflavin (vitamin B2), pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and iron. A health practitioner can assess nutrient status. \n\nReferences \n\n1. Lininger S, Gab

I get ulcers in my mouth. My doctor told me it's allergies. They gave me a great cure. I'v never had my ulcers feel better or go away quicker. It's stuff you can get over the counter. You mix Benidryl and Kaopectate and swish it around in your mouth then spit it out. :^)

Ulcers in the mouth are often caused by stress and a poor diet , which may also be causing the acne. Address your diet and stress levels.

yes i had ulcer and what am i talking i still do,,, ulcer is something you cannot cure but you can take precautions.. i experience the same problems you do.   you need alot of rest, eat small amount of meals, ( eat every one hour if you have to ), stop worrying about anything, if there is any problem in liulfe, write it on a peice of paper and start thinking positive ways of handling it instead or stressing yourself.  keep taking your meds, take rest in between your daily activities, also once you had a meal make sure you have a PLAIN SODA, that will digest your food and so you will not have the burning sensation. All these what i am saying you can write it down and ask your doctor, he/ she will agree with my advice to you. As i have been suffering from ulcer since 1991.  Good Luck.

Gastric ulcers are usually caused by acid eating away at your stomach lining.  Drugs exists that lower the amount of acid in your stomach. Examples of these drugs are Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists (Zantac, Pepcid) or Proton Pump Inhibitors (Prilosec, Prevacid, Protonix, Nexium).  Ulcers can also be a side effect of drugs.  The most common drugs that cause this are NSAIDs (Advil, Motrin, Aleve).  Talk to your doctor to see if you are taking any medications that could be contributing to your ulcer.  If you can get rid of an ulcer but it comes back later you may have to stay on acid lowering drugs to prevent them from coming back.\n  \nUlcers can also be caused by bacteria called Heliobacter pylori.  Your doctor can give you antibiotics to kill this.

STEP 1: Apply lip balm or petroleum jelly. You can also try coating your lips with skin moisturizer, vitamin E oil or aloe vera gel. These greasy products help keep your lips properly moisturized. \nSTEP 2: Use lip balm that contains sunblock if you are going to be outside. \nSTEP 3: Avoid licking your lips, since the saliva will evaporate and leave them dry. \nSTEP 4: Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. \nSTEP 5: Consider moistening the air in your home with a humidifier. \nSTEP 6: Keep in mind that cracks at the corners of your mouth can indicate riboflavin deficiencies; you can treat this with vitamin B-2 supplements.

For ulcers, take bites of raw potatoes and chew them 50 times before swallowing.  It releases an enzyme that coats the ulcer and will heal it.  Do this every time it hurts.\n     If your back pain is from Kidneys, try drinking 1 quart cranberry juice a day.  The best kind is 100% cranberry juice but it is hard to find.

Try Blistex or some Bacitracin (antibiotic ointment).  Some people get sores or blisters and rash around the mouth from foods with lots of acid in them. AVOID LICKING YOUR LIPS!!!!!  Keep them clean and dry.  Too much oj or grapefruit juice irritates my mouth.

...Check with the doc to see if you have acid reflux....you can go the natural healing route, which would be to alter your lifestyle and some of your food choices. Cut back on caffeine, acidic foods, wine/alcohol, hot spicy--and eat more alkaline foods, no smoking. There is a natural seaweed called Bladder Wrack that will cauterize stomach ulcers if you have any...better and longer lasting than tagamet...

I had the same problem last year, but I went to my doctor right away, and found out that an ulcer was starting to develop. Medicines took care of it very fast. Maybe, just maybe, it is also your problem. Go to see your doctor.
