Ulcers in my mouth??????

[Kendra]

this morning I woke up to find what I thought was just a canker sore, its tiny...do you get Ulcers in your mouth with Crohns? :sign0085:

My 10 year old daughter (in my sig) has Crohn's and Colitis and she has had mouth ulcers on and off since she was 18 mos old. Mouth ulcers are fairly common with Crohn's. If you call your doctor, they will probably give you a prescription or advise you of what to use. I know some people use salt water, but we've always used the prescription meds (they don't sting). Good luck

I used to get them with flares, hadn't in years. But woke up with one 3 days ago. Hate them.

They are, unfortunately, common, in my experience-- if you don't want to go with the meds, you can also try baking soda (mix with a little water to make a paste) and/or honey (but maybe I am biased because honey is delicious )

Canker sores are awful, but yes, very common.
