Crohn's Mouth?!?

[Nurse Nausea 2016]

I've read that crohns can affect anywhere from the mouth to the anus, but Dr. Google has yet to fully answer my questions lol. My tongue kills me lately! It feels raw and has little fleshy blisters across the very back. It will get gross and white, almost like thrush, and then bright red patches show up through the white junk. It hurts so bad it's causing pain when I eat. Everything I eat feels super rough and scratchy and burns! I thought it was from acid reflux originally, but now I'm wondering if it's not more from my gut. Anyone else have any experience with Crohn's in their mouth?? Thanks in advance!

Hi. My mouth gets full of canker sores. Sorry, I'm not sure what's going on in your case. I hope you feel better soon.

Have you seen a doctor about the symptoms you're getting in your mouth? It sounds like you might need antibiotics/antifungals to get rid of that.

It's just recently gotten this bad so I haven't told the doc yet. I don't see him again til the end of May but I have lab work to do this week so I may mention it when I'm in the office next time.

I think it would be better to call now and inform him, and then maybe that way you can pick up a prescription when you go in to do your labs.
