Oral Lichen Planus
Posted , 13 users are following.
As there hasn't been much activity on this site I am hoping that a solution has been found. I was diagnosed with olp about six months ago. I had biopsies taken from cheek and tongue which were clear atm. I was prescribed predisnolone mouth rinse. It certainly helps but although the sensitivity in my mouth has decreased I am now shredding oral skin. Does this mean that the condition is waning?

I am going to post exactly what I posted the other day........you may find this helpful, but remember everyone is different, and what works for one person may not work for another..
I was diagnosed with Oral Lichen Planus many years ago, and I am happy to share with you how I manage it.
I believe Oral lichen planus is closely linked to fungus, namely candida, and so I believe you need to eliminate the fungus before you can tackle the oral lichen planus. What has worked well for me over the years is firstly treating myself with an over the counter one day pill for thrush, in conjunction with another product, an enzyme which I found online, its a dietary supplement which is an enzymatic remedy to treat the yeast infection candida. Yeasts and fungi can flourish only as long as their cell walls remain intact. Studies show that the natural enzymes in this product dissolve these cell walls, and so this enzyme is a safe, gentle and effective approach to fungal overgrowth, and has no adverse impact on healthy probotics, it only eats the cell walls of the fungi, and that eliminates the thrush thus enabling me to start using Homeopathy...I then used Arsenicum album three times a day for a week, and have had good results from this whole procedure in the past.
The reason I took the time to write this is because whilst Lichen Schlerosus is a horrific and very serious condition, I happen to think Oral Lichen Planus can sometimes cause more stress and anguish as it is a horrific problem to have when it is severe....because at its worst there is no respite from it!!! as it unfortunately manifests itself in your mouth, and you are constantly aware of it!....every single minute of the day. Your mouth constantly feels dry, woolly, and metallic and just horribly yuckky!... imagine having to go to work feeling like you have NOT brushed your teeth, that's how it feels, you feel dirty, and if and when the underside of your tongue is lined with deep ulcers life can seem bleak...
I have had Oral lichen planus twice this year, and have managed to send it into remission by following this procedure, and so I hope some find this helpful.

What I am annoyed about is the fact that we are forbidden to name or give links to people regarding products that have helped us......So I sent a private message to rosajet and guess what? when I put in the link to the product that is forbidden too!!! what on earth is that all about? Isnt this supposed to be a site to help people?

Remember what works for one person may not work for another.
If you read my post above that should help, but I am not a doctor and I have posted what works for ME. I do honestly believe it will work for others, but not for everyone...I am free of oral lichen planus, and it was particularly hard to get rid of this time as my immune system is not what it should be (I have ulcerative colitis, another auto immune disorder)but I still managed it. The key is diet, not too much sugar, as sugar is bad and can ultimately cause candida which I believe in turn opens the gateway for oral lichen planus...
I think for woman with really severe oral lichen planus they should consider trying a Gluten free diet.
