Inflamed Gums?!

[Ms. Jiggles]

I'm curious if anyone has experienced inflammation of the gums during this program. I am in the 5th week and this has been an issue for the last week or so.

I saw my dentist and he says I don't have gingivitis and that my gums are red/puffy but don't bleed, so bacterial infection is not the issue, and that I have very clean teeth. I floss every single day (I kid you not!) and have always had regular cleanings and never had this happen before.

I will also ask my consultants.

Thanks,

Ms. Jiggles

Yes I also go to the dentist on a regular basis and he told me that I must be brushing too well because my gums were a bit red...so maybe it is a cohens thing because I am not doing anything different.

My gums used to get like that when I was pregnant ........ maybe it's a hormonal thing? After all there are other changes a lot of us experience, like changes in menstrual cycles, that are hormone related, why not gum changes?

This way of eating is balancing our hormones so it stands to reason there will be hormone changes, just not sure how many of the symptoms we experience can be attributed to being on Cohen's.
