Sore Gums And Food Intolerances

I'm wondering if I'm the only mutant out there who has experienced this. :P I figured out that I am completely soy and legume intolerant. So, I cut them out. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but even the muscle pain from that is gone except when I get "legumed" (my gosh- we get glutened, soyed, dairied and now legumed).

I was having real problems with my TMJ and grinding my teeth so I was wearing my mouth gurad. Mouth got irritated so I stopped (seem to have stopped grinding my teeth since I cut out legumes too?). I thought it was sensitive teeth so I switched toothpastes- then I realized that it was actually my gums that hurt. :blink:

So, now that I've cut out soy and other legumes, my gums are not sore every day. But I think I got accidentally "soyed" on Friday and my gums were so sore. Does this happen to anyone else? I figured it was worth asking! Thanks, Beverly

Only gluten makes my gums hurt. I also cannot consume milk, but doing so has a different set of symptoms.

My first sign that I have eaten gluten is sore gums...usually turns into nasty white ulcers.

Thanks for replying...... my gums hurt again today and the only thing I ate yesterday that was new was a frozen fruit bar that had no gluten in the ingredients and the only warning it had was that it may contain milk or milk protein. My tummy is also acting up and it seems as though the 2 go hand-in-hand. I suppose it could have been made on shared equipment. :angry:

:) Hi Beverly, I hate to say this, but it may be the dairy. I have had problems with mouth ulcers, sore throats and gum sores since I was a kid and it got better gluten-free, but not gone until I found out about the casein intolerance and cut out dairy. Now, I get the exact symptoms of glutening with dairy. You may want to try cutting it out for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference.

btw-Love your new avatar---what an amazingly beautiful couple you are!!

Oh Robbin- that's so sweet! He's my big bear... toughing it out together right now but he's doing much better.

So, dairy huh? Well, it's worth a shot. It's the one thing I've put off putting off. Guess I have no choice....feel hideous today. <_<

My gums get really sore from dairy. At least thats what I think its from. It only happens when I eat dairy....which is almost never...so it seems like I have my answer. Its a really uncomfortable feeling when it happens though. Fortunately its not that often.

I have problems with my gums at different times in my cycle, so I think for me there is a hormone connection.

But in unrelated events, I also notice a significant amount of what the dentist called "erosion" at the base of the tooth where I get like an electrical shock sort of if I touch the area. I wonder if it had to do with undiagnosed allergies all these years??

Our bodies are so weird :blink:

I think that comes from gum recession. The gums arent totally covering the root of the tooth so the exposed area can cause that kind of sensation when you touch it. I dont think its related to food allergies though...I think it can happen to anyone. The dentist always tells me to floss more to prevent that from happenning....not that I'm good at following through. :ph34r:

Ok, this probably sounds weird, but when you say your gums hurt...what do they feel like? I have the sensation of constantly wanting to press on them...which I do...it relieves the discomfort only while I'm pressing on them and then it comes back. I wouldn't describe mine as pain, but more of bothersome or discomfort. Does this sound like what you're describing or is this totally different? anybody else feel like this? I also have receding gums as someone mentioned where it's very sensitive where the tooth and gum meet. Sensodyne is supposed to help, plus there is some sort of filler that the dentist can put on it to prevent future pain. It doesn't last forever, but you can always have it redone later. Sorry, I can't remember what it's called, but I had it quite a few years ago (and am ready for it again).

My gums are sore constantly (when they are) but I just figured out two things. One, the whitener in my toothpaste was making my gums hurt (didn't know that at first). DO NOT SWITCH TO SENSODYNE- it has gluten in it. I found out the hard way.

You can brush your teeth with pure baking soda for a little while until they calm down. Also, I switched to Tom's of Maine and my gums haven't hurt since :D

HI, I'm a new member, so not sure if it is too late to add to this discussion: My gums have been bothering me off an on for 6 months. Receding gumline and same sensation as described above. I self-diagnosed being gluten intolerant in April/May 06 and have been mostly gluten-free, though just had a week of antibiotics which is suspect had gluten. Gums considerable worse. Haven't tried going dairy free :(

Thanks! I think I messed this post up!

Hi Gypsybvi--you can't do much to mess up a post. It's often helpful to bring up old posts, so thank you for doing it.

I actually get two types of gum soreness. Before I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia, I had large red sores that would extend from the base of my tooth and creep along the gums and spread out--that was painful and felt better if I touched it. I also get neuralgia when I'm congested, and that's a constant pain like you feel as though your teeth will fall out. Decongestant or advil helps with this one. I haven't had gum soreness specifically from celiac disease, but my PA is from having celiac. The neuralgia just shows up on its own, and a lot of other people in my family get it as well.

      7yo struggling!

      The incidence of autoimmune diseases in general, including celiac disease, has increased.  There are various theories as to why. The environment we live in, diet we eat, toxins we’re exposed to, stress levels, activity levels and infectious diseases to which we are exposed are all quite different now. A robust immune system that would have been an advantage thousands of years ago may be a bit too robust for modern life.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Celiac50, Most Celiac patients with a Marsh score as high as yours are more likely to suffer from fat malabsorption and deficiency in fat soluble vitamins, Vitamins A, D, E, and K.   Vitamin A toxicity does not cause Celiac disease.  Your Vitamin A toxicity was probably developed after your diagnosis and subsequent over-supplementation.  Fish contains thiaminases, chemical compounds that destroy thiamine, Vitamin B 1, making the thiamine unusable.  Excessive intake of foods containing thiaminases can precipitate low thiamine.   Low thiamine can also be a result of bacterial or yeast infections.  A high carbohydrate diet encourages Candida and bacterial infections.  High carbohydrate diets promote SIBO and Candida because they feed on the excess carbohydrates and suppress the beneficial bacteria.  Other types of bacteria can take advantage of this and set up housekeeping outside the gastrointestinal tract, including bacterial vaginosis. Thiamine Vitamin B 1 can alter the microbiome.  Thiamine has been shown to suppress Candida, SIBO, and other bacterial and viral infections, and favor the growth of beneficial bacteria.  My SIBO cleared once I supplemented with Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that has been shown to promote intestinal healing, and a B Complex.  Thiamine works in concert with the other B vitamins and magnesium. Thiamine helps to lower histamine levels by calming mast cells that release histamine at the slightest provocation.   Following the Autoimmune Protocol diet also helped immensely in getting my digestive system calmed and able to tolerate more foods. Have you discussed with your doctor and dietician supplementing essential B vitamins while healing?  What is your Vitamin D level?  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.

      Has anyone ever had Low Ferritin with Elevated MCHC levels?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Update - my Active B12 is 36.  Apparently lab results between 25 and 70 suggest a possible deficiency, anything below 25 is a confirmed deficiency, above 70 is normal.   I am thinking this could be the explanation for my elevated MCHC. Anyway, yet again I find myself bumping along the levels of low normal by British NHS standards, which isn't great, because from what I understand, in the UK our normal levels are set low and 'lower normal' levels would be considered a deficiency in such countries as Germany and Japan. Regarding B12 levels, it doesn't look as if my levels are low enough to be offered B12 injections.  That being the case, I remember reading that sublingual tablets can still be very effective but one particular type is better than another - I can't remember which type.  Can anyone help?

      Hi @Celiac50 If you are after a vitamin A test - sorry - I'm tired so not sure if I'm reading this correctly - perhaps you could try a home test?  I'm in the UK and am currently a bit perplexed about my own vitamin issue and thinking of going to a private lab for tests.  My issues is suboptimal Active B12 (only 11 marks off deficient) but no health professionals seem to be taking any interest in it although this is  my fault as last time I saw my Consultant I failed to mention my symptoms - I had so many other questions to ask him.  Anyway - here are the details for an A test: https://www.medichecks.com/products/vitamin-a-retinol-blood-test?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=11996732820&gbraid=0AAAAAD9XHFyeAOrxlryOpWS_jXwZ8PCc1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIyrjj2Pb2jwMVnJJQBh22CTkVEAAYASAAEgIGDPD_BwE

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
