I have discovered that gluten was in the products used to make my dentures. What's a person to do? Is there an ingredient that can replace the MMA? I have not been well since I started wearing them. But I refuse to not wear my dentures. 

Thanks for your input.

This would be a question for your dentist. There may be alternatives.

Have you found any solution?  I am in the same situation, I have Celiac, and after years of getting sicker I realized it was my dentures.  I have done exhaustive research, talked to my dentist who has also done extensive research, and asked numerous experts, but have found no other viable options.  I recently started going without my dentures and my symptoms have gradually decreasing and I am feeling better, but I really would like a solution as I am way too young to go out without teeth!

I don't know much about your situation, but is it possible you could go the implant route? I've heard that Medicare may cover the now, but am not sure.

Unfortunately implants are not an option for me, due to chronic health issues I was unable to get implants, so I had to opt for the dentures. (So grateful to be an 8 year pancreatic cancer survivor, but chemotherapy and complications from my Whipple surgery essentially deteriorated my teeth and my bone/ gum structure.)

I have not found any options for replacing my dentures. I wear them every day. But not feeling well. Always very tired is primary symptoms.

I may look into implants but that is very costly. And don't know if that's gluten free.

      Recurring flu like symptoms after being precribed immune system stimulating drug

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
