Why do spicy or acidic foods (like golgappa, chips, and Kurkure) and stress trigger frequent mouth and tongue sores (canker sores), even though I do not have stomach irritation or acid reflux, and taking Becosules capsules daily for two months hasn't stopped them?
Spicy, sharp, or acidic foods cause direct physical and chemical irritation to your delicate oral tissues, triggering sores even without stomach reflux. Additionally, stress releases chemicals that weaken your mouth's local immunity, making it easier for sores to form. Since B-complex vitamins (like Becosules) haven't helped, your sores are likely triggered by this local sensitivity and stress rather than a vitamin deficiency. I recommend avoiding these trigger foods, managing stress, and staying hydrated. Please consult a doctor for a personalized treatment, such as protective oral gels.
