Unhappy Feline Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (feline rodent ulcer)

Regina, my 8 month old cat Stripes (who was a rescue at 4 weeks old) has been suffering from Feline Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (feline rodent ulcer) for about 4 months now, after he started teething. He used to have raw paws which have gone away, but now he keeps getting ulcers on avg. about 1 every 3 weeks. It's getting expensive & frustrating. The last surgery he had was actually a "tumour" - which wasn't biopsied. He's had about 3 surgeries with aenesthesia. And the site keeps travelling from upper lip to lower, side to side?

I have changed Stripes to organic food - and am keeping him out of areas like the laundry&storage areas where he could get into trouble. I am at my wits end like you - I don't know what to do. I'm giving him vitamins - which he throws up sometimes. Anyway, we can keep in touch if we find anything interesting which works. The vet puts iodine on his ulcers when I go for follow ups after surgery - I wonder if I should try putting this on myself at home?

All the best,
