I've found I react to pepper, honey, peppermint tea, chamomile tea; even oats and cinnamon. What do you react to? And what do you eat that does not cause any irritation?

For me I found making a paste with turmeric and applying it to the white areas really ease the pain.

    Hello,

    So sorry to hear you have this horrible disease.

    i understand your pain.

    When I have an active outbreak, everything irritates my sores.

    However, I haven't found a direct link between specific foods causing an outbreak.

    I believe my olp lesions are related to herpes simplex virus or Human papilloma virus based on my limited research.  Stress seems to contribute to outbreaks.

    Best wishes for your recovery.
