Canker Sores
Just curious but does anyone here suffer from canker sores? I’ve had
them from puberty and fruit seems to aggrevate them, as well as
chocolate, wheat, and all acidy foods. I love eating plums, and
neutral fruits, but now I’ve developed another crop of them on my
tongue and soft pallet. Should I avoid fruit completely?

Try Lysine.. 500 mg.. twice a day and as soon as you feel them coming on. Works
for me.

I just avoid the “Avoids” and try not to get run down or get a cold. LOL

It is prudent to avoid all arginine-dominant foods. These include:
Grains, nuts, seeds, brown rice (OK, it’s a grain but just for
emphasis), soy, raisins (and other dried sweet fruits), chocolate, carob
Eliminate these, add the lysine, and emphasize lysine-rich foods such as:
Fish, eggs, dairy (not cow), beef (MEAT!)
Copious amounts of green tea and spicy foods (chiles=capsacinoids) also
help me.
Cheers,

P.S. As usual, your body is telling you what it needs. Give it more
lysine and you can add back in some arginine-dominant foods later.
Balance is the key. I actually just got two really bad canker sores
last week, tried to ignore them and buckled down with the same
recommendations I am giving you. They stopped hurting in 24 hours and
were gone in 48.

I think we were all talking about Canker Sores. Thomas mentioned cold
sores, which are caused by the herpes simplex I virus, only to
distinguish them.
