I am struggling with eating anything a little sharp or crunchy. Nuts definitely out, lettuce, coleslaw scrapes gums with each chew. I just hope it will ease up.

@lizralpol that happens with me too. Just have to avoid those foods till the mouth eases up. It does - in time and with the right medication which in my case is the Lyderm gel.

When I have a flare my gums and inner cheeks feel like I have hundreds of paper cuts! Eating anything sharp, crunchy or spicy is torture.
