Deep tongue ulcers!

wow, that sounds awful. I don't get tongue ones but I do get a canker once in a while. They hurt bad. I usually get them deep in the gums, where the base of the teeth are, in the crevice. Weird to have 15, you should go see the doctor, could it be an indication of crohn's?

I had a bad canker sore on my tongue. I literally couldn't speak or eat. It was awful. These were the white looking ones.

Is Crohns ruled out?

One hyphenated word: L-glutamine. Break open two capsules and swish it in your mouth three times daily. Swallow.

I wanted to reply here about tongue ulcers. I had three ulcers come and go over three months that were DEBILITATING. It was very painful to swallow, eat and talk. I saw an oral surgeon who performed a biopsy, have had a ton of blood work drawn, got two second opinions, ruled out infectious diseases (fungal, viral, parasitic) with an infectious diseases expert, and am now in the hands of a GI doc.

I can provide photos of these tongue ulcers. They are no fun. What healed me up quick, though, was swishing L-glutamine in my mouth. I mean, "less than 24 hours almost completely gone" quick. I cannot recommend this enough! The prescription mouth wash was only helpful for about 20 minutes.

Malabsorption has been confirmed by stool samples and blood work shows a deficiency in fat-soluble vitamins. I'm on the docket for an endoscopy and colonoscopy to determine what type of IBD I have. But, tongue ulcers, fatigue and skin rashes were my first symptoms of something out of whack. Good luck!
