Sore, Raw Mouth-Vitamin Deficiency>?!
Question:
Sore, Raw Mouth-Vitamin Deficiency>?
I have an incredibly raw, sore mouth. I believe it is due to yeast overgrowth in my body & some type of vitamine deficiency. Any ideas on which vitamin? (I'm thinking B-12--just starting giving myself shots of hydroxycobaline.) Any other suggestions?

Actually, since beginning the B-12 injections, the raw mouth has calmed considerably. I am seeing an alternative medicine (but also MD) today to discuss it further.
Answers:
You are trying to second guess a professional. Yes, the pain and rawness could be from a vitamin deficiency or from other causes too, so go to a physician but don't just begin treating yourself, Vitamin B12 is needed for cell synthesis, but will probably do little for your problem. If you insist on treating yourself, take a B complex vitamin, and begin to improve your diet...most vitamin-related problems come from a poor diet...lack of fresh fruits, grains and such.
