Hang in there Brian!  You are normal, at least for someone who has celiac disease.  If things become really difficult, I would suggest talking to your doctor.  We can have other issues that are not related to celiac disease (virus, depression, hormone issues, etc,.).  Let's face it.  Having celiac disease is hard.  It can be overwhelming.   I am sick of cooking three meals a day, hosting every family party gluten-free, reading every label....but it is easier as time goes by.  celiac disease is the only disease that a doctor diagnoses and then tells you to treat yourself (gluten-free diet).  Imagine doing that for someone with MS or cancer?  It is socially difficult since our society revolves around food.  

Did i depress you more?  Nah, this forum lets me vent, helps me solve problems and I have "met" some really nice people here who understand me.  So, welcome!  

I have crazy mood swings but most are now due to menopausal issues (throw in some Holiday Stress for me these last two weeks) and not celiac disease since I have been gluten free for over two years.  Getting glutened just compounds other issues.   Make sure you are not getting any hidden gluten.  Me?  Back on some estrogen and it is helping!

i had a rough first year (at least) navigating the diet.  i thought i could 'just order off the gluten free menu', basically.  that it wasn't 'that difficult, no problem.....'  so, i got cross contaminated quite a bit in the beginning.  when i finally managed to start cutting ALL gluten out i sure noticed when i got accidentally glutened (as did everyone around me) because i turned into a jerk.  i could hear myself in my head,  thinking:  man.  what a jerk!  but, it was a result from getting hit by the gluten monster.  this may be what is happening to you?  have you read the 'newbie 101' locked thread on the coping page?  it offers many helpful suggestions on how to keep yourself and your food safe and alot of things normal people don't have to worry about (but we do)   welcome to the forum :)

      celiac disease and braces

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      It's strange because I'm pretty sure not too long ago I picked up a loaf of bread with B vitamins, but I can't find a single one now. Probably cutbacks, everyone's trying to save money now!

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      @HAUS, I was at an event in the UK a few years back. I remember ringing the restaurant ahead to inquire about the gluten free options. All I wanted was a few gluten free sandwiches, which they provided and they were delicious. The gluten-free bread they used was Warbutons white bread and I remember mentioning it on this site before. No harm in trying...

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.

No harm in trying it once. It's fortified with Calcium and Iron. https://www.warburtonsglutenfree.com/warbs_products/white-loaf/ The only other gluten-free bread that I've come across that is fortified is Schar with Iodized salt, nothing else.
