OLP Food Triggers
I’ve had biopsy-confirmed oral lichen planus and have basically been in an active flare for about 2.5 years. Recently I’ve started getting immediate irritation/burning from foods that never bothered me before: tomatoes, red meat, and now cubed cheese and my lips have started burning too. Yogurt and shredded cheese haven’t seemed to bother me. Has anyone else suddenly developed new food triggers after having OLP for a while?
Also, has anyone with active OLP/inflammation gotten braces or Invisalign? My dentists had been recommending orthodontics, but now that I have OLP they’re concerned about irritating my mouth further and don’t want to do it. I’m curious if anyone has successfully had braces or Invisalign while their OLP was still active and what your experience was.
