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:

Well, apparently it was my toothpaste. Sensodyne.... who would have known? Going back to Tom's of maine. I should have known better!

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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      This article does not address migraines at all. Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines...

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems. Everything in moderation. Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Body dysmorphia experience

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress...

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
