Canker Sores

Has anyone had any experiences with lots of canker sores at once and it making it hard to eat or drink? Thinking it's related to my shifting hormones from pregnancy 

Re: Canker Sores

  • Yes, I usually get lots of them when I have a crohn’s flare, but they can be from hormonal changes. I was having small ones pop up one at a time at the very beginning of pregnancy (weeks 4-6) and they’ve gone away. They’re so hard to eat with, I hope yours go away soon! Avoid acidic foods, there’s also a mouth wash that can help them go away faster and numb your mouth temporarily for some relief (orajel mouth sores antiseptic rinse)

  • Thank you so much! I never had them during my first pregnancy but boy they are making life hard. I'm going to go find that mouthwash. I started developing them around 7 weeks and slowly healing into my 8th week but not after it spreading everywhere.
