Anyone have any ideas about my gums or my GI?

*****All those toxins are producing Free radical hence your receding gums.

Flush out the toxins and then start to repair the damage and your situation

When my stomach used to get upset, my joints would ache and my head, too. I

preusime it is an inflammatory response.

Excellent way to heal; aloe vera jel or juice, and cabbage juice. CAbbage juice

spoils really fast; have to make it a little at a time.

Thanks for the replies,

Unfortunately, I can't flush out the toxins, take aloe vera or

cabbage juice, because it irritates my intestines. I'm in a catch 22.

I need to find something very gentle.

CS, I saw a post by you that you took genegel or gengigel for gums ,

how did that go?

Thanks,

Cobi

Have you tried a fast, just drinking water, and then a liquid diet

of some kind of fruit or vegetable juice? Anyway, some kind of liquid

diet, until you can start eating protein, should be the best way to

heal your intestinal tract. Then your gums should improve, assuming

it was the insult to your intestines that caused it.

If you use Google or Pubmed, and try 'intestinal irritaion' or some-

thing similar, you can probably find some good ideas. But common

sense says to eat bland foods (bananas) or just drink liquids until

you can add bland foods.

Vitamin C deficiency will certainly do it. But another critical

supplement for gums in anyone over about 35 is CoQ10. About 100 mg/day

in one of the gel or " Q-sorb " forms will do it. I seldom floss unless

I've eaten ribs or something similar, and my hygienist is always going

on about how great my gums were. (They were receding and getting bigger

pockets before I started CoQ10.)

As an added benefit, CoQ10 is wonderful for increasing mitochondrial

energy, and most PWCs respond well to it. And CoQ10 also protects the

heart.

I'm sorry I don't know much about IBS, but it might be a very useful

to have a consult with a periodontist (a dentist who specializes in

gum disease) regarding your receding gums. Definitely go if your gums

bleed when flossing, brushing or during a regular dental cleaning.

I have been under the care of a periodontist since my mid-twenties

when my mother discovered she had gum disease and that the tendency

is inherited. She had corrective surgery and did not lose her teeth

until her eighties. I eventually had successful gum transplants and

currently keep the disease in check as suggested below.

Over the years I have learned that some of the most important things

to do for receeding gums include:

* Flossing daily (I know it's a drag - as they say, Just Do It!

* Regular DEEP cleanings (I used to go 3 times a year). Definitely

find a periodontal dental hygenist if you can. It may hurt until you

get the gum disease under control, but the alternative could be to

lose your teeth.

* Use an electric toothbrush per the instructions. Since I have been

using my SoniCare my hygenist and periodontist have both raved about

how well I am doing. This past year my cleanings have been reduced

from 3 times a year to twice a year. YEAH!

* You need to be very gentle as you floss and also use a soft

toothbrush. Abrasive brushing will definitely damage gums and cause

more recession.

It is not possible to recover lost gum tissue but you can probably

prevent further recession if you work at it.

Hopes this helps, Pam
