@sprice After suffering severe mouth sore outbreaks for many years, I truly feel your pain. I always knew some outbreaks were triggered by certain foods, but avoiding those wasn't enough. Many years ago, one of my kids suggested I eliminate wheat from my diet as a possible culprit, and for me it worked.
My brother had similar outbreaks, and discovering his cause wasn't as simple, even after extensive allergy testing. He went on an strict "elimination diet" to discover his triggers. This worked for him.
Have you tried anything like this?

When I was a kid I refused to eat spinach because it made my mouth hurt and it would break out in canker type sores. No idea why. I can now eat it if it’s cooked to death , like in a veggie lasagna but, duh, no point. I refuse to eat raw spinach in salads and I always ask restaurants if they use it in their salads.
I first thought it was oxalic acid but I can eat Swiss chard so?
I don’t eat rhubarb in any form, it does the same thing to me.
