I have IgA also. I like natural remedies. I used to have canker sores growing up. Google says, Vitamin B12, Folate (Folic Acid) Zinc and Iron help. Contact your doctor.

Could chronic mouth sores be related to myeloma with elevated IgA and M spike levels?
Yes, chronic mouth sores can be related to myeloma. Multiple myeloma can affect oral health in several ways, even before treatment begins.
With your elevated IgA levels (945) and M spike (.58), you may have IgA myeloma or be in an early stage. High levels of IgA immunoglobulin are associated with this type of myeloma, and M protein elevation is a key indicator of the disease.
Mouth sores and oral issues can occur due to:
- Myeloma-associated bone disease affecting the jaw (occurs in 30-35% of people with myeloma)
- Tumors on the gums (gingival masses appear in 8-15% of cases)
- General immune system effects from the disease
It's important to discuss these symptoms with both your oncologist and dentist. They can determine if your mouth sores are directly related to myeloma or another cause, and recommend appropriate treatment. Early attention to oral symptoms can help prevent complications and improve your comfort.
