6 MP and mouth sores

Does anybody else get more mouth sores once going ON 6 MP? My dentist was wonderful in giving me 2 rx to help get through this...Derbacterol (single use swabs to kind of cauterize them and allow healing underneath, and Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream to numb and soothe. Any other tips?

Lialda 4 per day since Jan.
No more Pred.
6 MP 50 mg, since September
Lomotil as needed, and it is.

I read that a side effect of UC is mouth sores, so maybe the mouth sores are caused by your UC and not the 6-mp. I had them very severely right before my last big flare, usually 3-4 at a time lasting 2 weeks. The vitamin L-Lysine, which you can get at walmart for about $4, can help prevent and reduce the time the mouth sores hang around. and L-lysine an amino acid that your body already naturally produces. It won't get rid of them completely but it can help them heal faster. When I wasn't taking any L-Lysine my mouth sores were much worse.

salt water rinses are great, you do 1/4 tsp to half a cup basically, but you don't need to be exact. I would do them at least 5 times a day, especially after eating.
You can also rinse with hydrogen peroxide. The directions for that are on the bottle. It tastes like metal though, but can be really beneficial.

And lastly, for some instant relief, i love orajel. its wonderful :) and if you don't have any but have got a bad one, you can break up a tylenol and dab a bit of the powder onto the sore. Neither one of these gives relief for very long, but it can help you out while youre eating for some instant relief.

Had up to 11 mouth sores at once during a flare. When I started pred and was in remission, no sores ever appeared. Flaring again, sores are back. So, I'm going to say it the UC, not the med.
