Re: many ulcers in the mouth --what to do

[Guest guest]

,

Is Alice on Dilantin? A common side effect of Dilantin is gum

swelling. My wife tells me that it takes a few months to develop.

Maybe if she is on it, that maybe the cause.

On the vitamin point, we give Logan (21 months old) Poly-Vi-Sol

liquid vitamin and Cal/Mag/Zinc II liquid. We have not seen any

problems so far.

I really doubt that its the diet though. She may have a sensitivity

to a particular food. If so, you'd probably see it develop if you're

feeding that food more often than you had been in the past.

Just my thoughts on the issue.

Also, the cause may be a vitamin C deficiency. Is it like a canker

sore?

Is she on any medications? Could it be a food alergy?

Hi --

We have been using acidophilus with to give her some " good " bacteria in

her diet. She was on way too many antibiotics a year and a half ago, so we

started it then. Shortly after she started acidophilus I hear about using it

for canker sores and so I started paying attention to the inside of 's

mouth. She hasn't had a single one since, and so I started taking it myself

about 6 mos ago, as I am VERY susceptible. Same story for me...no more canker

sores! I would recommend trying it with Alice if her doc is agreeable.

We use the Vitamin Store lactose free capsules, which we stir into

morning vitamin cocktail that she gets by g-tube. I know there are liquid

acidophilus supplements, but don't know about carb content.

Hope Alice gets some relief!
