what caused my son's canker sores.

November 20, 2001

Well, I still don't know why my son got these canker sores but I have at

least narrowed it down. He is soy free, egg free, gluten, casein, citrus,

plus I don't give him high phenol food. He won't take a multi vitamin

without a lot of struggle, and I have been so lacked about it. I think he

may have a vitamin deficiency he hardly has any vitamin c very little

calcium all he eats is brown rice and meats and french fries. I don't give

him either. I feel terrible. OR it could be taking zyrtec every night for

the past year? OR a virus that has gone on for three weeks? I do know it

isn't from his stainless steel crowns, or corn products. Anyone have this

happen to their child with all the limitations? Thank you also for a the

good advice and support. Bottom line they aren't better but now he is on

codeine which takes the awful pain away.

Hi there

Hate to sound like a broken record or suggest something that you may be

already doing...

my son had this issue to. We did Epsom salt baths nightly and now 2 times a

week and the sores have gone away.

I hope this helps!
