I have searched the message board and found many threads about the link between celiac and tooth enamel loss/defects. However, I was wondering you yours looks like. Pits in your teeth?...Or your whole tooth falling apart?

Hi Erin--I had some problems with this long before I knew I had Celiac. The first time was when my top front tooth suddenly chipped--I was just eating normally. I had never damaged it or anything--it just chipped. I had to have it bonded. The other instances were a broken wisdom tooth--it got infected, and I had it pulled, and I have another molar that has one of the high parts broken off. The strange thing about the tooth breakage for me is that I have very little tooth decay--only one cavity in my whole mouth!

Thanks for your reply. I have very little decay too but have broken 3 teeth. I also have 2 pits on the sides of 2 of my teeth. Also, when I chew gum every once is a while I will hit a place on my tooth the gives me pain and sends me to my knees. I thought I had a cavity but the dentist just said i have a sensitive tooth b/c I have no enamel.

Do you have the pits or sensitive teeth?

Yes--both. I have a tooth--a left molar, that hurts like heck if I bite down on it the "wrong"way.. It has been x-rayed and there is nothing wrong--but sometimes--without warning--I get that pain you describe, too. I suspect that it's changed the way I bite down because 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with TMJ. The pain had moved to my jaw. The dentist made me a bite guard that I wear at night. It has helped.

I don't have any tooth pain (yet), but I do have pits in two teeth, and the teeth are extremely discolored...

Interesting--I have slightly discolored teeth--blamed on Tetracycline taken as a child. (only took it once) Page 192--Appendix D of Dangerous Grains states that "83 % of Celiac adults with Celiac-type color and structural defects, horizontal grooves, and/or vertical pits on one or more permanent teeth."

i have veryy sensitive teeth, a while back my dentist told me i had 'soft teeth' i have a few fillings here and there from when i was a kid, but nothing too extreme, i just actually had 2 wisdom teeth pulled, and im healing great.

But just to throw this out there my dentist realized I was grinding my teeth, that also makes your teeth more sensitive. He got me night gaurd to wear. Best thing i did! Also becareful of sodium laurel sulfate in the ingridients, its actually an irritant. its in almost all toothpastes, but i believe Toms brand has ones without it. and stay away from whitening products unless u can handle them, it strips the enamel off ur teeth, hence causing more pain!

I agree on the SLS--I am currently looking for a toothpaste that does not contain it (and gluten-free, too). All of the Tom's toothpastes I've checked have it--which ones don't? I did find a brand--Jason--that is SLS free. I called that company, and was told that any gluten ingredients would be clearly listed. It comes in quite a few flavors--I'm planning on trying it. Trying to find gluten-free and SLS free shampoos, soaps, and toothpaste is proving difficult. But they are out there--lots of label reading!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      That is the goal, after all.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page. I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on ...

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
