Anyone else dealing with painful mouth sores and burning mouth?

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.

@wisco50 In many ways, our bodies are a mystery. It may be quantity of the oxalic acid, or how it interacts with other nutrients or foods eaten at the same time, or even how it is bound in the fiber. For me, I can eat strawberry rhubarb pie or sauce, but I can't eat plain rhubarb pie. Go figure!
