Re: Canker sores...help

I detest cankor sores!!!

First thing to do is switch toothpastes. Some toothpastes have an additive to make them foam up that destroys the protective lining of the mucous in the mouth. I use Arm & Hammer Baking Soda toothpaste with no problem. I once used a gel type and my mouth was full of canker sores within 2 days.

Cankor sores are linked to food sensitivities /allergies, so you have to do an Elimination Diet to see which you are sensitive to. It's most commonly gluten (wheat) and corn, sometimes nightshade veggies.

I get canker sores when I overdose on citris tropical fruits. I do okay with lemon and lime, but anything else, watch it!

Eat a low-protein diet to help maintain healthy PH, and of course avoid refined sugars, black tea and coffee.

Eliminate chewing gum and lozenges.

DO check for iron, folic acid, B12, and zinc deficiencies, or try to drink plenty of green veggie juices to make up for possible deficiencies. Alternative grains like Quinoa have a lot of these vitamins.

Drink more water!!! gotta keep those kidneys flushed so they can maintain the PH balance easier. :) Tweet
