Mouth ulcers?

Mouth ulcers are a common extra intestinal issue for IBD....it was likely coincidence that you only got them after MTX...I used to get them terribly (really deep painful grooves in the roof of my mouth) haven't had a single one since I started taking probiotics daily.

You should see your doc, just to rule out thrush and get some good probiotics (if you're taking some now, they may not be strong enough or good enough quality).

ugh, mouth sores. i used to get these alllll the time. I too am on MTX, but I had them long before I began the MTX injections...I am convinced they are due to a water-soluble vitamin deficiency. As soon as I would load up on vitamins by the mouthful, the ulcers would at least begin to subside. I used to get them all over my gums and the corners of my mouth too--turns out its called angular chelitis and it can be caused by a myriad of vitamin and mineral deficiencies. my tongue would swell up and it would just be impossible to eat. ughhhh just thinking of it makes me squirm. if you're having D all the time, it couldn't hurt to nosh on some gummy vites and hope that its something simple like this, and not a case of thrush :(

I use Oracort when I get mouth ulcers. Works great.

Dear all, thank you very much for the invaluable pieces of advice. I really appreciate it. I'll try them out and will ask the dentist for an oral antibiotic.
Take care!

Tsitodawg and Pb4, thank you.
@ Tsito. Thank you for your prayers, concern and advice. Yes, you are true, I deserve better treatment but I can't find it at the time being. I know that I decided to take myself off entocort and will try to taper off starting next week. I'm dreading this step and I'm quite sure that this will throw me into a new flare up. Being only covered with Pentasa is not enough, IMO, as it has never been effective alone. This will make me again a prey for pred as I failed all immunosuppressants and I was assured by both my doc and GP that I won't be able to take any biologics unless I have at least one visible ulcer in my intestines or the biopsies show granulomas Crohn's. I have only once had an ulcer and that was not Crohn's. I can't as a patient figure out what this exactly is and got fed up with giving my disease a name. But what I'm sure of is that when I was on pred and then Entocort along with Methotrexate, my symptoms were really under control and I was doing extremely well except for the proctitis pain no matter what side effects I got from them. I'm ready now after the worst stomach flare up I have ever had as a reaction for MTX to take it again as I could survive at that time and was not complaining from any intestinal pain for more than 6 months. However, my doc refused and told me that the biopsies showed nothing that necessitates this. I will keep my diet, activity and increase multivitamin supplements in the hope that I don't flare up and in the meantime try to find another second opinion who either seconds my doc or refutes his arguments all together.
Take care!
