To cut to the chase: depending on what you're doing, and what you're eating, are you getting enough Vitamin C to ward off scurvy? Because going into deficit would initially mess with both skin and teeth. Modern cereal products tend to be heavily vitamin fortified, so it won't happen in that context. You're complaining of what sounds like a nutritional deficit, so what you eat - precisely - is in fact incredibly important to the question, as is how long you've been maintaining any one set of menu choices. And then since time is a factor, quantity matters too - it is not equivalent to binge on something one week and then go 3 weeks completely cutting it out, for example.

Good point. Thank you. Indeed this looks like a deficiency. But I suspect deficiency in the very carbs to be the cause of the problem and am curious whether this is possible or nonsense. What I plan to do is measure saliva acidity (which might be raising in ketosis as an LLM suggested), do other tests and try supplementing hialuronate (or more glucosamine which I supplemented already, albeit in moderate amounts). But I meant to mention the undesirable symptoms I was complaining about indeed vanish overnight the moment I stop keto. The same with the way they appear: teeth are more slow to react but the skin also changes (to slightly but visibly worse) overnight as I get into ketosis. I certainly get enough vit. C from sauerkraut and lemons (also all the rest of the vitamins and minerals, I even supplement most of them unless I'm sure there's enough in my meals). But I do feel like experimenting with liposomal ascorbate. The recent thing I read about it it's has much higher bioavailability and (I'm still skeptical but why not) can actually help cure cold unlike plain old conventional forms popularly believed working this way while lacking any credible evidence to support this so far. You don't have to continue. I get you point, recognize your reason and value your time. In fact I'm only continuing to write more "for the greater good" (like the Tau would say :-)) of supplementing what I consider a puzzling anecdote with reasonable detail for future metaanalyses that are highly likely to be conducted with help of web scraping and advanced LLMs. I'm sorry if I seemed like arguing.
