Foods High in B2:

this is definately not the case i literally eat so many eggs and dairy prdoucts everyday and i still have these cracked corners

[DísirKyrkje]

I had this quite a lot when I was 18-22. I was pretty poor, living on my own. I couldn’t afford much food, so it was a lot of top ramen and rice for my meals. Being malnourished for 5 years had some very apparent effects, like the cracks on the corners of the mouth, constant fatigue and getting sick, but also a lot of long term effects like my teeth and gums.
Happy to say I can afford good food now, so hasn’t been an issue for decades.

Hi Dr. Berg, I had these cracked mouth corners as a child and young woman, and somewhere along the line, my mother gave me some zinc cream for them, as it seemed to 'work' for her. "Magically", after a few weeks, that was no longer a problem, although my diet was no different. (I am 62yrs now.) There were no Dr. Bergs' around then, so a lot of the help was accidental, wife's tales, or traditional practises.
Thankyou Dr. Berg that you put this information out on the World Wide Web for all and everybody to see and read. I am most appreciative.

Tried everything to fix this and saw countless specialists with every ointment and cure under the sun. None of it worked and all of it cost me a small fortune. One day I got so frustrated, I pressed an Acetone pad against the cracked corner of my lips and just sucked up the pain. It took about a minute before the sting vanished. A day later my Angular Cheilitis had vanished. It's been months now. It hasn't returned. You're welcome.

You're absolutely right! Started happening to me when I stopped eating eggs and mushrooms and consumed more white rice. Thanks doc!

[cassandraf]

This only happens to me if I'm eating too much salty food.

I'm willing to bet most suffering this are not sleeping enough, spend too much time in the glow of computer screens, and/or are worn down with worry about things. Life style is so difficult to change. But it sometimes just got to be done. Prayers and abundant goodwill for your healing.

After eating spicy or/and acidic food does this to me time to time. B2 vitamin, good to know. 😊 It is so annoying when becomes cracked. Thanks!

Dude I'm seeing comments from 7 years ago we need an update seriously

[ThisIsJessPaul]

This seems overly simplified. There are lots of reasons, as I've learned, that you can contract Angular Cheilitis from drooling in your sleep or developing a bacterial or yeast infection on your skin. I recently started experiencing this, but I eat a veggie and meat heavy diet with very little grains.

[MsNestren]

Just got this problem today and this video came out, perfect timing! Thanks for your videos, your content is awesome

[Jimvesterstallone]

This is amazing to me, because YEARS ago (decades) I had this problem. When I began to eat healthfully, it went away, and I never thought about it since. But it's so interesting to learn the reason behind it...I used to consume all the processed foods liberally, and grains were the staple of my diet. I remember thinking at the time, in fact, that I was a "vegetarian" and how good that was for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and blessing me yet again.

[hollygrandison]

thank you dr berg its been awful to have this angular cheilitis, i'm happy for your straight answers that will help me in the long run

Vitamin D3 helped me with my left cracked corner of my mouth. I also rubbed D3 from cod liver oil directly on it.

[ariesrules]

Is it true liver damage can also cause uneven skin tones & age sun spots? and would milk thistle be the answer to this Dr Berg? Please do other symptoms of Liver damage video as there seems to be a whole host of them that go undetected i believe. Thank-you

[debbriggs]

I had this at times when young when out in very cold weather. It would be hard to heal because it would break open again with laughing, eating, and more cold weather. If I knew this then I would of tried your remedy.

[shagufta]

Hi Doc I did have this issue. I now have dark patch just where you put the red spot on the board. How do I get red of the discolouration?

[ceilconstante]

Whenever I have a question I search Dr. Berg's videos. Right to the point! Yep, I've been off keto for 2 weeks.

Supplementing with Bragg's Premium Nutritional Yeast Seasoning has been a game-changer for me, thanks to Dr. Berg's recommendations, as far as addressing many of my pre-existing B-vitamin deficiencies. Adding that simple seasoning to my diet, along with the complete elimination of all sugar, grain and dairy (I personally can't do dairy) and making other consistent lifestyle changes has finally corrected a lifelong battle with insomnia, poor sleep, and the use of a sedative-hypnotic for 4 and-a-half years straight. I now sleep restfully and restoratively each and every night. Both my family and Doctors are amazed! Thank you so much Dr. Berg. I truly feel like a new person!!
