Some of the sensitive toothpastes can help fill in the microscopic holes in the enamel. For a while the dentist told me to press the paste onto my teeth and leave it overnight.

Some of my teeth came in with whole in them and no enamel. I had a sealant put on them so I wouldn't get cavities. I know this isn't your exact situation, but they may be able to seal your teeth so they don't get any worse.

Sensodyne has gluten - according to the company themselves. You may want to try Crest's Sensitive Tooth Toothpaste, it is gluten-free.

I made the mistake of using sensodyne for a while too. Crest is great. I think the aquafresh sensitve is ok too. My teeth were also sealed as a teen. I didn't know about celiac then, just that I had bad teeth. My son has teeth with big "holes" in them where the enamel never formed. For now they are putting temporary fillings on them since it is such a fight to get him in the chair. He's 3 and so far I've found 5 major defects on his teeth. No telling how many smaller ones there are.

i didn't form enamel right on my teeth either - had to get sealants, too.

i've also had yellowish tint to them my whole life. i heard it was vitamin deficiency.

guess that makes sense now.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If your tTg-IgA was 28 and positive is at 3, you are nearly 10x over the positive marker, so the most likely explanation by far would be celiac disease. I also do not understand why your doctor would not want to run the blood test, which is the normal first step in the diagnosis process.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352
