Hi Faye,

It may be worthwhile to get screened for h.pylori bacteria. This can cause and/or contribute to the gums bleeding. The salt/baking soda Ray suggested should help. Vitamin K can help with clotting. John would take Knox gelatin to help with clotting since it naturally has vitamin K. You have to make sure you get the real stuff and not the vegetarian kind. He would mix it with warm water to dissolve it and then add orange juice and drink it down.
