My son is 27 years old. I am trying to help him find a physician to treat his aphthous ulcers . He has tried everything under the sun to treat them! You have no idea what all he has tried!!! They are recurrent and present on a 97% continual basis. He has very little time in his life that he does NOT have an outbreak . He began getting them when he was about 12 years old. We are wondering if maybe he stays so stressed out as an attorney that he may need some help such as an anti- anxiety medicine. He has seen an ENT and has been prescribed steroids on a multiple basis and has seen a Physician that came to Emory Clinic (from Florida, once a month) who supposedly specializes in the treatment of these. However, he told him the same thing everyone has and that is; to stay away from potato chips, milk, citrus , chocolate, cinnamon, spearmint, sodium larual sulfate in toothpaste products, and a plethera of other foods. We are not convinced as NOTHING seems to stop these ulcers. They are HUGE and multiple. He is MORE THAN miserable and needs the help of a specialist. A REAL SPECIALIST! Can you help us????
