What are the causes of mouth ulcers?

Every time I have a mouth ulcer as soon as it is nearly cleared up another one seems to appear. I have tried changing my diet & not eating on the side of the ulcer & being extra careful around it when brushing & also using ulcer gel as often as I can according to the packet. Any help much appreciated.

Update:

Gin - Do you think broken sleep would also cause them? I sleep from around 1am til 4am then wake & find it really hard gettin back to sleep, usually fall asleep on sofa around 1pm & wake around 4pm and so on.. everyday.

    Ulcers appear when you are run-down, tired or stressed, aswell as having a bad diet. Getting at least 8 hours sleep will get rid of your ulcers :)

    Yes your sleep routine is almost definitely the cause of your ulcers! Maybe try going to sleep earlier and see if that has any effect.. I used to have pretty much the same sleeping pattern as you and lots of ulcers, so i went to bed at 10-11 ish each night to try and change this and ended up being able to sleep till 8ish and therefore having 8+ hours sleep. I was less tired so eventually my ulcers went away. Hope this helps :)
