Canker Sores and Crohn's: Any Connection?

I heard someone say that they get severe and frequent canker sores as a result of crohn’s, does anybody else experience this?

i get them so bad, especially when im stressed or in a POTS flare too. recently they have been right after eachother, one will be not completely healed but stopped hurting and another will pop up

I get them in my mouth and on the outside of my body. Literally all over me. I almost lost my leg over an ulcer that was open for 3 1/2 years.

Same, when I'm in a flare, I get canker sores on my inner bottom lip and have had them in the corners of my mouth. I never get canker sores....unless I have a flare and the longer my flare is happening, the more likely sores take a while to go away.

My gums swell around my teeth and the roof part like I ate something hot, plus the sores. It’s all from Crohn’s.

I'm about to get tested soon to see if I have Crohn's, but one of the questions they asked is if I get sores in my mouth. I currently have one, never had one before though, and can't say it's from Crohn's or anything
