Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I became a vegetarian January 1. So far so good, but lately I have developed a couple of horrible canker sores that are not going away! Is that because of a lack of some nutrient that I am getting, or maybe too much fruit and vegetables? Anyone else have problems with this after becoming a vegetarian? Thanks! - Sally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Sally, I too had the same problem. I saw the doc about it and she said it could be caused from Iron, B-12, Folic Acid, or Zinc. They did a blood test, and mine come out to be B-12 deficient. Although I was taking a daily B-12 supplement. They upped the amount and I haven't had trouble since. This all happened in Dec.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 What others have said is true, but ARE you eating lots of fruit and not brushing your teeth 3 times/day?On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 6:20 PM, Sally Myers <raytownsal2 wrote: I became a vegetarian January 1.
