I've had canker sore & GERD on and off. Those can be related to people with IBD right? Since mouth is also part of our digestive system? Please correct me if I'm wrong, I've read somewhere here that having GERD flaring up is a sign of an incoming UC flare? Or perhaps any other bowel disease if you had it as well? The same can be said about canker sore? Thanks in advance for all your guidance.

I don't know about them being a "sign" what I do know, is treat it or live miserable thinking you can get a grip on it with natural remedies. For me, omeprozale only works. I thought maybe I had too little of acid, according to the internet smile tried apple cider vinegar and that made me worse. Get it under control in my opinion.

Yes, we can have ongoing cancer sores as an extra-intestinal complication of having UC. It's more common with Crohn's disease, which can affect anywhere in the digestive system from mouth to anus.

Thanks a lot. Yeah, I remember it's more common with Crohn's.

In my case, I had canker sores throughout my childhood. It was really annoying but never had once since I have been diagnosed with UC. I suppose it was the flora at play and after UC manifestation all drama was south in the gut, nothing up north.

Sounds similar to me. Only now does the canker sore kinda come back, before my first flare and diagnosis, I had persistent canker sore on some areas of my lips. I hope my current one doesn't indicate anything UC-flare-wise.

Same here, got a lot of canker sores growing up but none since my UC diagnosis. Very interesting.
