What foods should I eat if I have mouth ulcers? - #60228
I am dealing with these really annoying mouth ulcers for what feels like ages now, like seriously, it has been weeks, and they keep coming back. Sometimes they hurt so much that I can barely eat anything, and I find myself avoiding even my favorite foods. Even tried some over-the-counter stuff but doesn’t seem to help much lol. Plus, I have been having this weird abdominal pain that kinda comes and goes — it has been freaking me out! I read somewhere that stress can cause mouth ulcers, but I’m not sure if that’s it. What is the fastest way to cure mouth ulcers? I mean, are there specific treatments in Ayurveda that could actually help? Do you think a mouth ulcer treatment is also linked to what I'm feeling in my belly? Like could they be related? I’m also confused about what foods should I eat if I have mouth ulcers? Like, can I eat spicy stuff or do I need to avoid it? I just want to know, is there a natural remedy or something more effective than what I have tried? Any insights would be super helpful! I'm just sort of at my wit's end here and hoping for something that works.
