Oral lichen Planus: What home remedies or medications help you?

Sadly, I found out the hard way that dairy (lactose free dairy) flares up my oral and cutaneous (skin) lichen planus. I did a really good job avoiding it for a few weeks, then I ate a whole bunch of lactose free milk and yogurt for about 3 days and the last bowl of yogurt I got all itchy about half an hour after eating it. So dairy is out! Almonds have been out for a couple years, but that’s more because of GI issues. I’m holding off on gluten for right now… so I’ll reintroduce it in a few weeks and see what happens.

Marymaryoregon, I have yogurt every day, maybe that is what triggered this? I have also started a daily dose of probiotics, with 20 billion live cultures. I also take another product called ProDenton, also probiotic and especially formulated for support of teeth and gums. They are also, I think, helping with the healing. The ProDentin was specifically designed to get your mouth healthy, and thus creating a healthy oral environment. How long have you been with this condition Mary., and do you also get the bleeding gums and tenderness?
