This the number one cause of my canker sores. I almost never get them if I stick to SLS free ones. I'll have one in a week if I run out and use my husband's toothpaste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507366 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:11:48 +0000 chopsuey 507366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. Don't get them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507345 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 10:04:31 +0000 mrsjazz 507345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Thanks for those suggestions! I hate canker sores. I get them a few times a year and those suckers hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507333 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:59:53 +0000 Revel 507333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes! I've suffered with varying degrees of these over the years since I was a child. I switched within the last year to an SLS-free toothpaste, like @blackbird: suggested (I use Burt's Bees) and that has completely stopped them for me, even being pregnant! </p> <p>While they are stress related for me, I think the SLS was the real trigger for me because if I use regular toothpaste now I get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507251 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 09:17:01 +0000 Alivoo01 507251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!! I used to get them all the freaking time as a kid, and they hurt so bad. My brother did too. We'd each get multiple at a time and some appeared on ridiculous surfaces in our mouth (our gum line, our uvala, under our tongue, etc.). They appeared less frequent in the past 2 years, and would only pop up around the time AF would show. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507210 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:34:48 +0000 blackbird 507210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get them all.the.time. Stress, too much candy, trauma to the mouth, and/or too much acidic food cause them for me. DH gets them if he has too much tomato sauce or orange juice. </p> <p>How to kill them: Dab a q-tip on white distilled vinegar and put it on the canker sore. It goes away in about 2 days versus a week+. </p> <p>Preventive: Use Rembrant canker sore toothpaste because the SLS foaming agent in regular toothpaste can also cause/exasperate them. Now, I only get them a couple times a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507202 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:25:45 +0000 betsyboop 507202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get them all the time in high school, I think related to stress and lack of sleep. I didn't work as hard in college, so that problem went away :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-507199 Wed, 16 Jan 2013 08:23:34 +0000 anonysquire 507199@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, anytime I eat nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506833 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:40:33 +0000 T-Mom 506833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fellow sufferer too! If I bite my lip or inner cheek, I am guaranteed to get one. I used to take lysine supplements in grad school when it was really bad and that seemed to help stave them off. My mouth is also really sensitive to sugar. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506832 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:40:22 +0000 Sammyfab 506832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always get chancres when I eat too much candy (the sugary sour ones!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506812 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:32:50 +0000 hellobeeboston 506812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! Yes - I used to get them often. Ever since I went gluten free due to celiac disease they have gone away! I did get one when I accidentally ate gluten.</p> <p>I found drinking milk helps ease the pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506801 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:27:06 +0000 Bao 506801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not usually...maybe one a year. DH gets them often though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506800 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:26:33 +0000 .twist. 506800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stress and citrus and sugar. They are an ulcer, pretty much.</p> <p>I get them REALLY bad if I eat sugary things. Nestle Iced Tea, the powder? If I even have a SIP of a glass of that I will get one guaranteed. </p> <p>I get them quite often. They suck bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506793 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:24:56 +0000 Charm54 506793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally - especially (only really) when I am stressed. I have one now actually! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-get-canker-sores-1#post-506791 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 21:23:59 +0000 Mrs. Bee 506791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i used to get them a lot when i was a kid. now i get them once in a blue moon as an adult. i have two right now and they hurt!</p> <p>they don't know what causes canker sores, but they can be related to stress.</p> <p>Do you ever get canker sores? </p>
