Re: mouth sores (canker sores)

[Guest guest]

My sister had severe, chronic canker sores all of her life. At age 40, she

started exhibiting severe allergic reactions to citrus fruits (facial/mouth

swelling, stomach pain, diarrhea). Upon removing citrus completely from her

diet, the canker sores went away and she hasn't had another one since then (5

years). At age 4, my son started to get severe. chronic canker sores. We

had an IgG done when he was 5 1/2 and found he was allergic to citrus. Since

removing citrus fruits from his diet (a year ago), he hasn't had another

canker sore (it also improved the quality of his stool--less diarrhea). Take

a look at this website (you have to scroll down past the part about fever

blisters):
