i usually get a canker sore once or twice a year, but i have a sudden outbreak - two or three at once. party in my mouth. the first culprit i came to was the sour altoid sucking candies (the only hard candies i could find without HFCS) which i;d been using for donnatol dry mouth and airplaine flight ear-popping.

but when i searched old posts about this, wondering about ibs connections (either immune-system or dietary), someone mentioned mint as a possible cause - is it possible that all the strong peppermint tea we're living on could be causing these? this week i started drinking more, and i switched from celestial seasonings peppermint to a stronger, medicinal tea, which i've been brewing a lot stronger, too.
