Canker sores

[Linz86]

What causes tongue canker sores (Lie Bumps) and mouth ulcers? Is it a genetic predisposition? I seem to get them frequently they're very painful and they seem to come in mass numbers...what are some remedies to help with the discomfort and how do I speed up healing and prevent them from further popping up?
Thanks =)

Loads of things, among them stress, vit b12 and folic acid deficiency, through to monthly cycles for ladies and so on.

Eating a bit more fresh fruit and veg, especially broccoli and cauliflower for the folic acid is good, as is taking a bit more exercise to help with stress.
