4. Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by extreme gluten intolerance; consumption of this protein damages the small intestine. The condition may result in bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, weight loss, and fatigue. In one study, five percent of people with recurring canker sores were found to have celiac disease. This suggests that for people with the disorder, the ingestion of even small amounts of gluten may lead to canker sores. Occasionally, recurrent canker sores are the only symptom of celiac disease.
