Hi, I have OLP also. I also have LP on my skin and Esophageal Lichen Planus, which is incredibly rare.
I was diagnosed 3 years ago with all 3 types of LP.
Through trial and error I learned I couldn't eat spicy foods not even a tiny bit spicy, stronger mint flavors, sour, acidic foods such as pineapple etc...
at times I can't even tolerate the acidity of an avocado, mint toothpastes, black or white pepper, raw onion, sometimes salt or even teriyaki sauce.
OLP tends to flare up and down. Stress, illness etc...effects the immune system and can definitely cause flare ups because all types of LP are an autoimmune disease causing the immune system to attack the mucus membranes in the body.
Also irratation in the mouth can cause flare up, even the bucal (cheek side) cups of the back molars can rub against the inside of the cheeks causing irritation and swelling.
I hope this helps you!
Take care❤️
