Hello all,

 

For many years I was a very strict vegetarian and during that time my

gums used to bleed a lot when I brushed my teeth. When I reintroduced

flesh foods in small amounts into my diet this problem went away.

Recently I went back to the vegetarian diet and the bleeding had begun

again. I can't fiigure it out - has anyone any ideas on what could be

causing this ?

 

Since childhood I've had difficulty absorbing iron from non flesh sources

which is why I began eating flesh foods again after my first stint at

vegetarianism. It seems to be a family trait - my mother had the same

absorption problem. Yet I don't think this is the cause of the bleeding

gums. Last time my irons level were checked they were fine. Any ideas

would be very gratefully received !!!

 

Love and thanks,

Avtar

Dear Avtar,

I suggest you try neem leaves (your local herbal store should have them,

otherwise check out http://www.neeminc.com - they also have neem

toothpaste). In the evening after you brush your teeth take a leaf in your

mouth and move it against your gums for a few minutes. I haven't had this

problem myself, but I know somebody whom this helped. Hope it helps you too!
