Bleeding Gums

Has anyone had bleeding gums on a low carb diet? I'm following Fast800keto, nearly end of 2nd week and woke up this morning and gums started bleeding when i cleaned my teeth, and feel really sore all of a sudden. I went to the dentist a month ago for 6 monthly check and he said teeth were fine, no issues. So it has to be diet related. What deficiency in vitamins or minerals could it be? Im eating a lot of green veg alongside the actual food. Bit worried as felt really healthy otherwise. Thanks.

could you take a decent multivitamin? vitamin c especially is good for gums.

Im taking Fem45 and an extra magensium but yes I'll get some Vitamin C, Im eating tons of greens so thought that would be giving me enough.

I don't know specifically about this. There's a keto subreddit on reddit where you may get better answers.
