Hi Guys:

I have been low-carbing for approx. one month now and am doing great except for this issue! I read the previous thread about canker sores and didnt really get much help from them so thought I would make my own cry for advice/help! Just this week (about my 4th week), I started getting major (and I do mean very painful) sores (can't see them so I am not really sure) in my WHOLE inside of my mouth. It is just super tender and burns badly everywhere. I am assuming that it is diet related (maybe too much acid or tomatos?) since I have NEVER had even one in my life before! Someone else said it could be thrush (but it is not white) or just cankers (but I really cant see any sores, just redness and burning badly). I have tried mouthwash (Listerine) which does seem to help short term (maybe just numbs it?) and other over the counter rememdies. It seems to bother me sooo much after eating anything and really is painfull all the time! I have so far stopped eating tomatos or anything I deem acidish but am still suffering! If ANYONE knows ANY suggestions or has advice please help!!! I am planning to call the dr. this week if it doesnt improve as I am going on a cruise next week and dont want to suffer. Thanks for listening to me vent....and hey...at least I cant eat (lol)!!! Glad to have found this forum...I feel better already just thinking someone else may have had this or at least know what to do!
