sores in mouth

I have had crohn's for 30 yrs.  I had ostomy surgery on Oct. 12.  I was doing great.  I went to the specialist on Dec. 9 and he started me on 6-mp.  After taking the drug for 4 weeks I woke up one morning with sores in my mouth.  On Tues. this week the specialist told me I have crohn's in my mouth, he hasn't even seen me he told me on the phone.  I have stopped all med at this point.  Can anyone tell me if this is truly a possiblity?  After surgery I had no crohn's symptoms at all.  Now this after starting the 6-mp.  Before surgery I was on Cimzia for a year and had no problems at all.

I forgot to mention I have had crohns since 1970, it is in my throat as well. hard to swallow at times. pred takes it away, but am so afraid of side affects, (moon face)

When I get mouth sores I use a prescription paste called Aphthasol. I don't think most GIs prescribe it because I've had to ask each one for it and they had to look it up to figure out how to write the Rx. I first heard of it because my step-mom is a dental hygienist. Without that, my mouth sores each last about 10 -14 days and make it very difficult to eat. They are so painful. This stuff cuts the pain within a few days and speeds the healing by about half the time.

thanks for the aphtasol. I'm gonna ask my gi guy when i see him 2/1. the blistewrs on my tongue is really bad what about that paste on tongue for that?

I found sugar and acid type foods hard on the sores. I gargle a lot with salt water (4-5 times a day)when I get them. Sometimes get Rx with anti-viral med and they go away faster.

Hope you feel better soon
