RE: Canker Sore and food allergy/ intolerance

Rejoyce,

Do you have some favorite sources for food

intolerance information? I need to keep reading. We are quite willing to let go

of any food that makes us sick! Losing mangoes would make us very sad, but not

as sad as the sores. I think we probably will do a cleansing diet starting in

the next week. I just have to get my act together.

His sores are a little better today and he

was able to eat some split pea soup and a gf muffin. He was so happy to have

solid food!

Subject: Canker Sore

and food allergy/ intolerance

It is very possible that

the canker sores being experienced by a GF

child on a strict diet, may indicate another food intolerance or allergy.

I would suspect the more common foods first - tomato and mango (the

others I believe are already off your son's diet since he is GFCF and

can not have soy, etc.

I've read some people have reactions to melons that involve mouth

sores, as well as berries. Veggies (other than actually legume

family) are not as commonly a problem as fruits from what I've read

people with multiple food issues discuss.

I'm sure an elimination diet is the last thing you want to do since he

is already limited, but what other choice is there at the moment and

since he is miserable it certain would be worth it in the end to know

what is causing the sores.

Since they are not apparently getting better, could it be something he

is consuming now?
