What 's the Real Question?

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.

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

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.

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’,

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.

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.”

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.

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.
