Perhaps others have but I have not. Blessed in that way, and also I could count on one hand the headaches I have had in my life. Now tho the RA is making up for all the pain I have missed.

Guest guest Posted June 7, 1999 Report Share Posted June 7, 1999 Hi Carol and group: My Dr. gives me Zantac along with Cytotec. The Cytotec thickens the mucous in the stomach so that the anti-inflam meds don't hurt you. I have tried to go off it several times (due to cost factor) but always went back on because it helps so much. The Cytotec has been out for many years and if I remember correctly, its original purpose was for people taking anti-inflam meds. Judy in SC RA 42 yrs, Fibro 17 yrs, AP 2 yrs.

Dr. Margolis took off all his other medications. reported some relief within 48 hours and considerable relief from his ulcer pain within 2 weeks. remained on the licorice preparation for 6 weeks, sufficient to enable the stomach lining to heal. Dr. Margolis also prescribed aloe vera juice (4 ounces daily), taken before meals with the DGL, to help the stomach lining heal and become more resistant to its own acids. Other supplements Dr. Margolis often uses with DGL are fresh cabbage juice or olive oil (1 teaspoon before meals). In a recent clinical study involving 874 ulcer patients, 77% were healed with DGL versus 65% with Tagamet, reports Dr. Margolis. In his practice, the success rate is roughly 80-85%, and at far less cost.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 1999 Report Share Posted October 6, 1999 Does anyone know if the non-DGL licorice would have the same effect on the ulcer condition, or would one need to use the DGL type? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 Sounds like Dr. Margolis has his act together. Fortunately, there are some MD's who are using a natural approach to therapy. They need to be supported. Earl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 9, 2003 Report Share Posted March 9, 2003 Hi Patti, Janene has had finger ulcers and uses Duoderm (made by Convatec), available in pharmacies. It's a second skin which protects the ulcer and helps it with " moist healing " . You can read about it on their website at www.convatec.com - Dr. Joe Mercola told us about it. If you get some, wash your toe, cut a piece of Duoderm to fit over the ulcer and put it on. You leave the Duoderm on for a week - it's waterproof so you can shower with it on. You'll see debris building up under the Duoderm which is the ulcer healing. After a week you take it off and put on a new piece for the following week. It's really good stuff. Chris.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hello Group, I have just come across this old post which I can relate to. I have such painful ulcerations along with the Systemic Lupus that i suffer from.They heal over with painful redness on top that hurts with the slightest touch. I have been using the duoderm for about a year now on my feet palms of my hands anywhere that an ulceration pops out.IT WORKS!~! I also cut them to the desired size an find that overnight it builds up a liquid that is poision that can be squoze out the sides wiped away with a tissue without taking the bandage off. That makes them last longer less time consuming to keep putting them back on again.Since they are very expensive for a box of ten ($50) which my medicare pays all but ten dollars of. I will sign off for now my fingers are very stiffened up from the typing.I hope to start the protocol sometime soon for the prednsione I take is way to much. The doc wants me to go to MXT shots now.I will answer any questions so email me anytime.In good health ;(lakesidetwo in the chats) Re: rheumatic ulcers Hi Patti, Janene has had finger ulcers and uses Duoderm (made by Convatec), available in pharmacies.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2004 Report Share Posted February 19, 2004 Cindi, perhaps your general practitioner doctor could take a specimen from these ulcers. I would hazard a guess they may be from a fungus infection or a virus. I don't know if you can get Nizeral Oral gel from your pharmacy but that may help and it would also show it to be a fungus. When one is not eating properly your immunity could become a bit low and that is when these fungi and viruses strike. I have found that taking a kiddies vitamin and mineral syrup helped me with fungal infections in my mouth because it boosted my immunity a bit. Acid could cause ulcers in your lover oesophagus but hardly likely higher up in your mouth. Once the doctor knows what they are he can prescribe medication for them that will clear them up in no time, but you must then keep your immunity up to prevent them coming back.They are so darn painful and just add to ones misery! JoanJohannesburg South Africajpearse@... ulcers I would be very interested to know if the decaying food causes ulcers. I have had ulcers in my E and chronically in my mouth (tongue, gums and sides of mouth....everywhere). Could it be from acid?

I have had ulcers in my E and chronically in my mouth (tongue, > gums and sides of mouth....everywhere). Could it be from acid? Cindi in PA It is unlikely that acid is the problem, because you would not have much acid in your mouth, and saliva is a mild antacid. It can be from the food in the esophagus. Food can carry germs, raw vegetables can have a lot of things on and in them. Normally it would not matter for a lot of it, because it would just go to the stomach where most germs would be killed by acid before they could multiply and be a problem. And most germs left in the esophagus would be washed in to the stomach by saliva. If the food gets stuck in the esophagus the germs have a nice moist, dark, warm home to breed in the food. However, ulcers in the mouth and esophagus do not seem to be a common problem for people in this group. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 I go tomorrow to have my stomach scoped for suspected ulcers. Has anyone developed ulcers after getting the band? If so, what was the impact on the band. I have had to take massive doses of pain and anti-inflammatory meds this year due to a back problem. I will probably have to continue these kinds of medicines.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I used to get them terribly when I was little. I was hospitalized at least twice for them that I can remember and I still get them now and then. My niece went through the same thing and still gets them now, too. No one has been able to find the cause but we were both told to make sure we were brushing our teeth and tongues regularly and thoroughly. We went through a lot of Ambesol and children's liquid Tylenol. If you hold the Tylenol in your mouth where the sores are it numbs them. It also works great with tooth aches. Some of mine were caused from me chewing on the inside of my mouth. (A reflection of the anxiety we didn't know I had at the time) I wish I could be more help, but the Ambesol and Tylenol do work to at least temporarily numb the pain. -Jenn, AEP (ADD, Bi-Polar, Anxiety/Depression) Proud Momma of Cory Albert (14yrs ADHD), h Dawn (12yrs Anxiety/Depression) and Jerry Lee " Trey " (9yrs ADHD, Bi-Polar, Asperger's) -- ( ) Ulcers My boys are constantly getting ulcers on their tongues, gums,lips, and throat.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 My son gets these every so often. Sometimes from picking at his gums, sometimes from chewing on his cheeks and lips and who knows what else, but we have used a Peroxyl Rinse twice a day when he gets them and it does help. Colgate makes one and there are also the generic store brands that work well too. I buy it by the flavor I think he will use. He would swish for 30 to 45 seconds and then spit it out after brushing his teeth. Suzanne -- ( ) Ulcers My boys are constantly getting ulcers on their tongues, gums,lips, and throat.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi Toni, Toothpaste with SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) can cause this for some people. Might check your toothpaste and if it has this, try switching and see if there's an improvement in how often they get them. Here's one short thing I googled: http://ddschan.com/TheLibrary/SodiumLaurylSulfate.htm I've read many times that Licorice root is good for this. A quick google and here's a bit of an excerpt on it: " Probably the most outstanding herbal remedy for mouth sores is licorice root, a potent anti-inflammatory and tissue healer. Put a pinch of powder on the sore, or suck on a lozenge made from DGL (de- glycyrrhizinated licorice). " You might ask at a local herbal/vitamin place about licorice root. But it can raise blood pressure in people so you don't " overdo " on licorice. Also, I think Milk of Magnesia helps. I imagine you swish with it. (OK, I have some of this info saved because I have periodontal problems and run across interesting stuff in my online searches) Hope something helps. > > My boys are constantly getting ulcers on their tongues, gums,lips, and throat.
