One year anniversary and question

[Guest guest]

Hi,

It has been one year since I started SCD!!! I am so proud that I haven't

purposely eaten anything illegal in that time. It is so hard sometimes when

everyone around you is eating whatever and you don't. But what has helped is

thinking about how much better I feel. That I can actually plan to do something

without knowing where each and every restroom is. Sometimes I would just stay

home, because I didn't want to risk the embarassment of an " accident " . Now I

pack my food and take off.

After a year I am also feeling good enough to be more adventurous with my

cooking. I tend to get in a rut with cooking and eating the same things,

especially since I didn't have much energy. But now I actually dripped yogurt

and made cheesecake for the first time. Oh, I know, it's Intro! But the whole

dripping and mixing and baking just seemed like too much work. Now I'm feeling

good enough to tackle something new. It really is very good.

My question is: About 4 months ago my mouth got very sore, with a strange taste.

It went away and now it's back again - though not as bad. Is it possible that

this is caused by my gut ecology changing?

Thanks for your help.

Terri,

Congratulations!!

Mouth sores can be viral, or yeast, allergies...

What do they look like and where are the sore spots?

Maybe Terry- our dental expert- will see this

Hi Terri-

It's really hard to diagnose someone via an email but..... what toothpaste are you using?
