I just started on a low carb diet including the Atkins endulge or other types of "bars" and I have developed sores "not open" in my mouth. Has anyone had this...any alergies that I may be having to products in the low carb items I may be consuming?

Thanks.

odd, I haven't heard of that before.
Maybe you have afood allergy,
what are you eating that you never ate before?

My only thought could be whatever is in Splenda and Malitol. These are two things that were not previously in my diet. I did make an appt. to see a doctor tomorrow to better understand what this may be, but I know from my wife's experience (canker sores) cause of mouth sores sometimes can not be found. The other issue is constipation which I was warned about. I am proud that I haven't cheated, but these side effects are not fun!!!
