hello,
gum infection could be due to deposits on teeth surface or food lodged in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months. For stomach infection you need to consult a physician.

1st things 1st- Gum infection doesn't cause stomach infection. Commonly Gum infection is caused by local factors i.e plaque & calculus & the bacteria are different from those causing infection in any other areas.Which can be effectively reduced ONLY by Scaling and root planing(Deep cleaning) as a maintenance therapy can continue using gel after cleaning. Get a proper diagnosis done for the stomach infection from a physician, and get a cleaning done from gum specialist.
