 A RELIEF FOR MOUTH ULCERS THAT REALLY WORKS!!!!! 25 messages in this subject

| Hello, I stumbled across this site a few months ago when I was suffering from very bad mouth ulcers. I had them so long that I really lost hope and thought that I would be suffering forever. Well, I came across Oral B Amosan-I had nothing to lose from trying it, and after the first mouth wash( it comes in a powder in little sachets that need to be dissolved) I noticed a difference, by the 4th mouth wash my mouth was practically back to normal-by the end of day two-I HAD NO MORE MOUTH ULCERS/SORES. And, I haven't had any since and that was a few months ago. It tastes ok, granted you get a bit sick of it after a while but it is so much better than what I was going through along with what a lot of you are all suffering with. I bought a packet from my local pharmacy (I'm in Australia, it cost about $8) I think you can get it online too. I really hope this helps everyone, or at least 1 person. |

| Oh...if it were that easy, I would be SO grateful...but, of course I am skeptical. I have tried SO many things without success. The latest thing actually has given me some help. Sea Buckthorn Oil, but on my tongue sore these past few days it has not acted so well. It was keeping my general mouth sores from becoming huge blown out spots, and, in all fairness, it has kept this tongue sore from getting too huge, BUT, it is not the cure I seek. I have a suspicion that there is some sort of vitamin or mineral, or whatever, deficiency that causes these for me, but I truly have been unable to locate it...maybe I'll give your recommendation a try. I have hope.... |

| I've looked online for that stuff and it *does* look good. I'm off to the pharmacy right after work. Wow! If this works, I'll be coming to Australia to bring you whatever you ask for.....it may take me a while..I'm in California :o) |

| For years, I have used tincture of benzoin (applied with cotton swab). After 10 seconds of serious stinging, it provides pain relief for many hours. Then I reapply. The sores heal sooner and don't appear as often as when I didn't use this. It is NOT A CURE, but it made things more bearable. I have always purchased this over the counter. Last time I bought it, I had to ask the pharmacy to order, but it was still an over the counter medication. |

| I think tongue sores are a different animal. It's not responding to anything :o( I've traveled 20 miles to the nearest store that stocked it, and I've done 3 treatments over the past 24 hours, but I am only noticing a slight healing, which could be normal for the length of time I've had this bugger. What a pain...and I'm extra stressed since my job is technical support, talking to people on the tele all day. I can barely say my words...oh well....I still have hope. |

I get mouth ulcers almost every month, and I get them especially when I am under stress or when I have a fever. I have tried a lot of stuff. Creams and vitamin tabs do speed up the healing of my ulcers, but I wanted to do something so that I can stop them from showing up in the first place. All the creams and stuff only help to cover up the superficial problem. I decided to experiment with Vitamin B Complex tabs. I read on the net that B complex tabs help u out with stress. ("Vitamin B Complex can help to restore the adrenal glands from stress" Google Search: b-complex stress). As I have found that stress is what more or less sets off my ulcers, (I work in the nightshift too, so I guess that adds up to the stress problem) I decided to take B-complex on a day-to-day basis, even if I have no ulcers! I take about 3 to 4 tablets everyday spread throughout the day. (What if u overdose??? - http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Can_you_overdose_on_super_b-complex_vitamins). And it has been 2 months since I began this routine, and I have not had any ulcers except for once when I feel sick. But even then, the ulcers were small and never progressed to become the really big, painful ones that they normally are. And they were taken care off within a short while (as soon as the fever went away!!). I hope this is a permanent solution because I have found soo many solutions in the past and after sometime they seem to stop giving the same results. It is almost as if my body gets used to the fix and finds a way to overcome it.
I am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping this is a permanent fix!! |

| That's good info RJ. I too think we have to find the cure and not just treat the symptom. What vitamin brand and potency are you taking? Don't you end up peeing bright orange all the time? I'm not so sure that's a good thing. But anyway...I hope it's a success. |

I have had mouth ulcers for the past 3 months. i have been to 7 doctors, ENT's, Infectious disease doctors, oral surgeons, rhumatologists, etc....they all thought it was herpes and put me on Valtrex. others thought it was erosive lichen planus, some thought it could be oral lupus, etc....BUT, i was really reading up on the internet, trying to figure out what causes mouth ulcers...I mean i had them EVERYWHERE! Even went to the emergency room! I watched what I ate and the other day I finally realized what it was...IT WAS SOY! I scheduled an appointment with the allergist that day, had the appointment at 10:00 am the next day and DAM! I WAS ALLERGIC TO SOY! I was eating it 24/7 since I couldnt get any food down and I am lactose intolerant. I had soy in the past, but recently, I had it all day! Soy protein shakes (about 3 a day), soy yogurt, and cereal with Soy milk! I also had lentils, which are in the soy family!!! I have stopped ALL SOY in my diet and I am getting better. My ulcers are slowly dissappearing! PLEASE, READ UP ON SOY AND HOW BAD IT IS FOR YOU!!! Here is a link that I read, which lead me to believe I was allergic to soy. I just needed an allergist to approve it, and that was my answer!!! good luck to all. I know how painful they are!!!!! I hope this can help someone out there!!!

| I have had mouth ulcers consistently for the past 12 years and I am talking of at least one every month. After trying all and everything from various sites and suggestions with no success, I finally got a prescription from my GP which although doesn't eliminate it but at least cures it when it does come up. it's called Adcortyl in Orabase and to get the 10g tube, you must have a prescription otherwise you can buy the relatively small tube over the counter. My GP prescribes two tubes in one go and these last me a fair bit after which I have to run in for another prescription. I have accepted it as part of life. Hope this helps! |

| I find that cordisol mouth wash works well when I get bad mouth ulcers and they tend to go within a day or to . You can get it from your dentist or local pharmacy and I now always keep a bottle handy. |

| Try Kenalog orabase which i buy over the chemist counter - I swear by it! Apply at the first sign of an ulcer (at bedtime) and by morning its gone! If the ulcer is in an awkward position like I have on my lower lip right now, you may have to apply on 2 consecutive nights. For 20yrs now I have never had an ulcer for more than 1-2 days. After the first application it shrinks to almost nothing. |

| Hi I have suffered mouth ulcers all my life, as have the rest of my family & like Lorraine I didn't get any while I was pregnant leading me to think that it's a hormone issue, maybe. I was pregnant very quickly after I had my first child, not something I would recommend but it was great to be free of the ulcers for almost 2 years. They have since returned with a vengeance often making my lip so swollen that it looks like I've had my lips puffed up. I also get them on my tongue and the on the roof of my mouth, especially painful. I discovered the Bonjela Once treatment which stings almost as much as the ulcer but although would probably work for the regular little ulcers really isn't much cop against the demons I & many of you seem to be suffering with. I have tried the Orabase paste which does cover them for a while but has never seemed to reduce it's lifespan. I take a multi vitamin with B complex, and use the cordysol mouthwash daily but nothing seems to put these terrors off. I have heard lately that garlic capsules may help to keep them at bay & today I read a study that said natural Licorique has helped many people out. I would love to hear if any of these things have helped anyone else. My dad takes a daily cup full of apple cider vinegar, honey & cod liver oil, he swears by that but has still had the occassional ulcer. |

Hi having being suffering from these very painful ulcers, for 8 years after a emergency section,never had alcer before this . tried everything encluding medcal help,so bad ,12-15 ulcers a day,have now been recomended to take 2.5 mls daily of steriod by consultant, If I get really bad spells where I can,t eat or talk then I can go up to 5-7.5mls .this has given me my self worth back
Idon;t like being on the steriods so I try to come off them and in the mean time i would use neat whiskey to wash out the mouth, try to hold the whiskey as long as possible untill ulcers are numb this is better than any gells ect, I hope this help,,,,, everyone out there, as the pain is hell.

i have had the evil ulcers since i had my daughter 6 years ago.......i thought at first it was just cos i was knackered and run down but 6 years on and they are still there....i tend to get them on a monthly basis...sometimes one or two...othertimes 5 or 6......i too think that its proably to do with hormones however i didnt get rid when i got pregnant with my little boy who is now 8 months.
at least going on here makes me not feel like a freak.... i just wish i knew how to stop them coming back. i think after a while it actually makes you feel depressed.... i cant stand the thought of being like this forever.
i'm awaiting results back for celiacs disease but am not hopeful as i think i'd have other symptoms. am also getting another referral to oral surgery...but last time i went all they could do was pescrbe adcortyl to help heal the olcers...no ideas why i get them in the first place......i remember them saying that apparantly people who smoke don't get ulcers....is this true??.....whilst i'm not advocating smoking i'd almost be tempted if it stopped the bloody ulcers!!
did anyone see the embarrasing bodies programme on channel 4 this week?...a girl on there had had ulcers 4 ten years...she had loads of tests which found nothing...but she was perscribed anti inflammatory drugs which aparantly helped...anyone else tried thisi?
Anyway big love to all you sufferers......i know what your going through x |

| I have tried virtually all suggested treatments after suffering with monster ulcers regularly for a few years. I have just started on Corlan (hydrocortisone) tablets recommended by an oral surgeon and prescribed by my doctor and they seem to be keeping them under control and reducing them before they develop properly. Other thing which helps is tootpaste free of sodium laurel sulphate (I use sensodyne) good luck fellow sufferers!! |

Hiya,
I have been slowly going mad with mouth ulcers since I was a child ,I'm 57 now and they seem to be getting worse lately!
My GP prescribed an oral rinse called Difflam, which really helps the pain and inflammation, it cost £7.60 over the counter, but worth every penny. I really hope it helps some of you with this awful condition.
The other thing I found helps, and, I've no idea why, I use Lypsil when going to bed at night, it helps keep my mouth moist.
Take Care

Oralmedic....a little expensive but i put it on about an hour ago and the pains gone here are the details it says on the packet.
One application of Oraldemic stops the pain and discomfort of a mouth ulcer in seconds. It works by forming a protective barrier the ulcer to provide optimum conditions or natural healing.
A single application per treatment is usually sufficient. No need to re apply just make sure when applying you cover all of the ulcer for around 5-10 seconds.
I used it tonight my mum applied it for me and i admit i actually screamed a little and burst into tears with the pain but after you rinse your mouth out after as it tells you too it becomes numb constantly.
Give it a try and let me know if it works for you as i say its only been on for half hour but im gunna TRY my hardest to sleep now and see how it is in the am. Ulcer sufferers together :) |

| hello all! I have suffered from ulcers for the past 3-5 years (maybe a coincidence as this is when i quite smoking). I agree that Bonjela Once is pointless, and to an extent Bonjela adult may reduce pain, but it takes a while to take effect. I have found that the most effective way to reduce the swelling (which is the main cause of the pain as catching this inflames the ulcer, a viscous circle!) is to add a recently used, although slightly cooled teabag tothe swelling. You may look a little silly, but the swelling is reduced quite quickly and thus slows the pain. you may need to do this quite regulary as it does not kill the ulcer any quicker, but allows me totalk a bit better. Georgia - lets hopethe pain is worth it!! x |

I have had mouth ulcers alot,But not as bad as the one I have now.Some things that have worked for me was to gargle/Rinse with cold milk,Because all the calcium it has in it.Another way is to get a q-tip and rub it on your ulcer/Ulcers,The reason is as your are rubbing the ulcer with the q-tip it is getting blood from where it needs to go and heals the ulcer faster.I have tried numerous things and these seem to work the best.I hope this works,Good luck to all you out there suffering just like me! <3

Hi All,
I am suffering from mouth ulcer problem since last 17 years and I am 31 now.
I have tried various medicines. treatments from xray to endoscopy, But none of them worked.
After trying a lot of things finally I have concluded the things which has healed me personally. And I have put it in a diet plan which should minimize your Mouth ulcers too. Myself and another 3 persons have been benefited by this.
I also want other people to get healed by it and get rid of really painful Mouth ulcers.
Please check my website where I have shared the diet Plan.
