2. What 's the Real Question?

3. As I look around the internet for
blogs, articles, and whatnot about
this subject, I keep running into
treatments. A plethora of
seemingly crazy things to do to
minimize the pain of these ulcers
and keep them from forming.

4. And God knows there’s no shortage
of products out there to choose
from, especially in the pain relief
department.

5. And then there’s the
foods. Chocolate, coffee, peanuts,
cereals, almonds, strawberries,
cheese, tomatoes (even the skin of
the tomatoes) and wheat flour are
just a short list of culprits that
should be eliminated from your
diet. And people seem perfectly
willing to do so to avoid the pain.

7. But really aren’t these the wrong
questions if we really want to get
to an answer? The question
shouldn’t be ‘what can I avoid
eating to make them stop’,

8. it should be, ‘why would these
foods cause my mouth to react
this way?’ It’s not a normal
reaction, and I don’t know that
we’re doing ourselves any
favors to act like it is.

9. As a dentist once vividly explained
to me, “It’s not natural for your
gums to bleed when you
floss. Wouldn’t you think it was
weird if your finger bled when you
ran floss across it? Your gums
aren’t any different. If your gums
are bleeding, it’s because there’s
some underlying problem.”

10. I think that’s the approach we
should be taking with this. It’s not
normal to get an open sore by
eating a tomato. Instead of
removing it from our diet, we
should be finding out why the
juice in a tomato would do that to
certain people.

11. So while I’ll be experimenting
with plenty of treatment
options, pain relievers,
supplements, etc., I’m going to
try to always keep in mind the
underlying problem and the
goal of eliminating that.
