@muhlly I also absolutely avoid tomato anything, chocolate and peppermint. Also citrus and other fruits. The only juice I might drink if I need some quick sugar from not eating is apple juice.
I drink "Garden of Life Raw Organic protein powder with low-fat milk" and I mix the "Garden of Life perfect food Energizer, juiced green super food powder.". I mix the two together in the morning. I drink the protein powder 2-3 times a day. These are my best friends!!! LoL
Initially it doesn't taste good but I pushed it and got used to the flavor. I do drink the chocolate, it's extremely mild and doesn't bother me. I didn't like the vanilla and vanilla flavor is a favorite of mine!!
For what it's worth, ironically, I was an Oral Surgical and Endodontic assistant for 25yrs. We saw only a handful of patients with OLP. Also, if you go to the dentist and need to be numbed up, absolutely tell the doctor not to use a flavored topical ointment before giving the injection. The ointment is painful having OLP. I bring my lidocaine oral rinse with me and use that prior to having anything done in my mouth. It's helpful with OLP. Unfortunately the surgeon I worked with passed away from cancer. I know he would have helped me so much!! 😞. He was such a wonderful, caring and incredibly talented surgeon. We even volunteered together on our day off at the low income dental clinic twice a month. He taught me so much about living life and dentistry. I could have done surgery etc..myself.
I'm so fortunate.
If we all stick together we can help and support one another!
Take care ❤️
