Just wondering. I have had multiple mouth ulcers/ canker sores. Very odd, I have not had them in probably 25 years. Anyone have experience post op? Could it be a deficiency? I'm on my vitamins and get plenty of protein. Normal oral hygiene routine.

In my experience, they tend to happen more when you're stressed. I'd say surgery qualifies as a stressor. I like to either dab straight salt on them (burns), or rinse with salt water. Try to make sure you are getting plenty of rest and relaxation.

Of course you can always bring it up with your doc.

I typically get them from drinking coffee or eating acidic foods like tomatoes. Are you possibly eating foods that would irritate your gums/mouth?

My md office told me today they dont feel like it's some deficiency. So, now I'm focusing on acidic foods. Protein does tend to be more acidic. Ty for help.

Try taking the supplement Lysine. It's an amino acid available at all drugstores. It helps tremendously with canker sores I take one pill twice a day when I get a canker sore until it heals

My lips swelled up and we're red and burning and I started just using Blistex and that worked

My husband I are long term sufferers. It's awful and I hope you feel better soon.

My husband gets relief from lysine. For me, massive doses of vitamin C work.

If you have a good dentist, see if they can help. They have a magic potion that will instantly cauterize and totally get rid of the pain. Debacterol is the name. Hurts like heck, but only for a few seconds.

Many pharmacies also have a magic mouthwash. I think you need a rx, but they will mix it up and some find relief.

Hope you feel better soon! (recovering from 4 myself)

I had one right after woke from surgery. I never get them so I was very surprised.

Thanks. I'll try the lysin. I'm almost healed up and hope there is no more coming. I had 7, yes 7 at one time. Ha, guess what? I lost weight from not eating.

Baking soda mouth rise worked well. Decided to fight the acid.

Using herbal natural remedy was what got me tested negative to HSV 2 after been diagnosed for years.I have spend so much funds on medications like acyclovir (Zovirax), Famciclovir (Famvir), and Valacyclovir (Valtrex). But it was all a waste of time and my symptoms got worst. To me It is very bad what Big pharma are doing, why keep making humans suffer greatly just to get profits annually for medications that doesn't work.I'm glad that herbal remedies is gaining so much awareness and many people are getting off medications and activating their entire body system with natural herbal remedies and they are become holistically healed totally.

I am having this same issue post VSG. Two days after surgery I started with two and have had between 2-6 since then with some respite when I took dexamethasone and chlorhexidine Rx rinses. When I stopped taking the rinses though, they returned. We (Doctors & I) are wondering if it is a sensitivity to sugar/sugar alcohols/stevia/monkfruit. Any one else experience this and able to resolve the sores?
