I have the same thing I think on the side of my face by my chin. I discovered it 2 days before my wedding over 3 years ago. Talk about stressing that I had a problem with my mouth right before your...
The pain is at it's worst shortly after I eat or while I am eating. Also, the sharp pains become more frequent when I am standing up so I sometimes have to lay down after dinner when I am not feeling...
For me, I meanly feel pain where my affected area is. I will get sharp pains as if someone is punching me. Sometimes I will get waves of pain, usually that means that I am about to get sick to my...

I meant Life Without Bread (LWB) not LWD, sorry!...

I am positive it was the spoonful of peanut butter I had yesterday. I am back to eating the safe things from the beginning and we will see what happens....
Thank you for the feedback. Do you think I should also try to stay away from peanut butter?...
As some of you might remember, I went on the Specific Carb Diet a month ago when I was still on Prednisone and Pentasa. I felt better then I have ever felt! I was symptom free.....until a few days...
