Oral bleeding

[Cassy]

I am wondering if anyone has problems with sore swelling, inflamed guns that bleed. I will be working and all if a sudden taste blood and I will just be spitting it out. It happens vey randomly. I also have sores that come up indie my mouth.
Dies anything help with it? I go to the dentist every 6 months and the dentist can't give me a reason other than I should see my doctor. :congratualtions:

Hi Cassy,

My son has had mouth ulcers before that produce some bleeding but nothing with the gums. I have read that vitamin deficiency can cause bleeding gums, have you had your vitamin levels checked recently??

I also had to give a shout out because I grew up in Muskegon too! I went to Mona Shores High school. Small world! I know from living there that sunshine is in short supply so we all take Vit D 3 supplements. It has been linked to crohn's disease. I have my other child (who doesn't have crohn's) take it as well.

Welcome to the forum!! And maybe I will see you around Muskegon, we always visit in the summer.

It's a small world! We have lived here 17 years and my son graduated from Mona shores also. I didn't think about the vitamin deficiency, but your right. I'll add that to my list ti talk to doc about.

Any good crohns doctors here in Muskegon? I have my first appt. with a dr. Barber next week. How old is your son?

My son is 12 years old now, diagnosed at 11. We lived in Grand Rapids when he was diagnosed and saw a pediatric GI at Helen DeVos. We just moved to Cincinnati about 6 months ago and have a new GI here.

I am not familiar with any of the GI Dr.'s in Muskegon. I am more familiar with the Dr.'s in Grand Rapids. I hope that first appointment goes well. This disease can be very tricky for some. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I get sores and can also bleed from my mouth/gums.

When I was in hospital I was terrified by how much blood I was spitting out.

I use benzydyamine spray for the ulcers, takes the sting right out them.
