I don't have any problem with canker sores and i can actually count how many times i had it for the past 24 years. What i can see from colophony allergy on myself are plasters, gum, rubber and waxes that give me terrible itchiness. Apparently there could be connection between colophony and canker sores as chewing gum, dental cements and even toothpaste should be avoided. I think it depends on how allergic you are to colophony too. Whenever you choose a toothpaste, it's better to get one that does not contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or other irritating ingredients, avoiding chewing gum, hard, crunchy or spicy foods if you have terrible canker sores. Other than patch test, i had my blood tested too. For those who has no or low allergies, the rate of result should be below 100 or + -, for me, i had more than one thousand, that spells "very allergic". From the blood test, i'm being advised to avoid dust, prawn and crab, which i wrote about it in my previous entry <a href ="http://www.joyceliew.com/internal-and-external-allergicness/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Think we're all not lucky huh :twisted: ! Anyways, Merry Christmas!! Cheers, Joyce Hi there, no problem for the personal question.

I'm looking at all the alternative names and researching the ingredients in all of my cosmetics, etc. My main problem was/is terribly itchy swollen eyelids that occurs without rhyme or reason. I have seasonal allergies and take shots for those, and I also have terrible canker sores. I'm wondering, if you don't mind this personal question from a stranger, if you also have canker sores? I think I'm starting to see a connection between colophony and canker sores. Thanks for any help you can give. Best of luck to you--and the tape on the patch test made me itchy terribly--of course, colophony is in adhesives!
