Re: Terrible oral sores - "apthous ulcers" - cause?

Excerpt:

"B2 (Riboflavin): Foods such as liver, milk, eggs and vegetables are rich in Vitamin B2. People who are deficient in this vitamin develop dimness of vision, ulcers in their mouth and cracked lips.

B3 (Niacin or nicotinic acid): This vitamin is found in foods like cereals, whole grains, vegetables, fish and meat. Vitamin B3 deficiency could lead to weakness, diarrhoea, burning sensation on the tongue, sores in the mouth, rough skin and weight loss.

B6 (Pyridoxine): A diet of meat, vegetables and bran will maintain the levels of this vitamin. Low levels of this vitamin could cause depression, dizziness, nausea and sores in the mouth."

"Symptoms of folic acid (B9) deficiency are sensations of weakness, numbness and tingling of fingers and toes, ulcers in the mouth and sore tongues."

Since the entire family suffers from these, maybe genetic? Maybe they cannot absorb the B's from their foods? Maybe try a B-complex sublingual?

It's worth a try, to see if it may help a little. It sounds so very painful.

Just happened to have been reading up on the B's and rememberd these references. Maybe worth looking into.

Good luck in finding some relief for your dear husband.
