canker sore on tongue

cskinner

I have one of these right now and it’s enough to drive me up the wall. I’m wondering if there is something I can eat to help it disappear and I’m wondering why I get them. Any thoughts?

My husband and I started this raw life style 6 weeks ago – we are doing great. At the end of the first weeks of being 100% raw my husband got canker sores in his mouth, they were on his tongue, his lips and all around inside his mouth. This was due to detoxing – He had these canker sores for 6 days. The first couple of days he swished with salted water and on day three we found that a cup of water with 3 tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar worked great – some of the sores started peeling off right away. He drank juice through all this. Cucumber, Celery, Apple juice.

writeeternity,

thanks for the info

i usually have a green smoothie for breakfast (mango/banana/spinach/wheat grass shot/coconut water), avocado sandwich for lunch, salad at night- never eat meat or dairy

i haven’t eaten nuts for quite a while

i went to health food store and got a product with lysine in it but it is topical will see if it works

now the whole inside of my cheek is chewed up as well – i’m a mess

Well I have had this now for over 5 days – it is pure torture. I have tried everything, ACV, Baking Soda, Salt, Canker Sore patch. Nothing is working, in fact it seems to be getting worse. Ready to cut off the tip of my tongue – just kidding.

It’s finally gone – thank goodness. Thanks for all the great advice. I’m not sure if it was the Lysine gel or just enough time had passed but it’s gone :-)

Hi,
Canker sores could be caused by injury, Vitamin B complex deficiency or constipation. Canker sores can become infected by bacteria leading to complications. Hydrogen peroxide is a good anti-septic and also promotes early healing of the canker sores.

Natural or herbal treatment is safe and prevents the oral sores from recurring. Get all the details from any relevant herbal or Natural treatment sites like Mamaherb.com or Altmedicines.com.
