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.

      I think I’ve got it ?

      Thanks all for your replies. I ended up having my gastrocopy last week. I did get a biopsy done for celiac. The man who did the test was sure I didn’t have it so we will see what the result is

      Hi. I have known I have Celiac disease coming up on 2 years. I have never had problems with styes before my diagnosis. I can no longer wear makeup without waking up the next day with horrible painful swelling in part of my eye lid. (at least one) I’ve been to many doctor and specialist appointments over it and they just say to wash my face more. I’m loo...

      I did some reading from the link you posted and will definitely use the information provided to my advantage! I feel very lucky with my current situation, as my family has been very supportive as well as my closer friend-group. I appreciate the welcome and the information!

      By the way, B12 is necessary for the uptake of iron. B12 deficiency is extremely common in the celiac population and, of course, plugs right into the fact of anemia also being extremely common in the celiac population.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jake R.! First of all, kudus to the doc who ordered the test checking for celiac disease based on the family history of it. Many in the celiac population suffer for many years before getting a proper diagnosis and that despite have classic GI symptoms. I will embed an article that you might find helpful in polishing your efforts...

I can no longer wear makeup without waking up the next day with horrible painful swelling in part of my eye lid. (at least one) I’ve been to many doctor and specialist appointments over it and they just say to wash my face more. I’m  looking for safe makeup product recommendations? Has anyone had an experience similar? What other things should I watch out for?

B12 deficiency is extremely common in the celiac population and, of course, plugs right into the fact of anemia also being extremely common in the celiac population. Some people have a form of anemia known as pernicious anemia in which the anemia is caused by the death of the parietal cells in the stomach. The parietal cells are where "intrinsic factor" is produced, an enzyme necessary for the absorption of B12 which, in turn, is necessary for the absorption of iron from the diet.

      Welcome to the forum, @Jake R.! First of all, kudus to the doc who ordered the test checking for celiac disease based on the family history of it. Many in the celiac population suffer for many years before getting a proper diagnosis and that despite have classic GI symptoms. I will embed an article that you might find helpful in polishing your efforts to eat gluten free as there can be quite a learning curve involved. Some of this may be overkill unless you are a super sensitive celiac. Gluten is hidden in many food products where you would never expect it to be found and then there is the whole challenge of CC (Cross Contamination), particularly when dining out.    But let me caution you about the falling of the "other shoe", so to speak, of finding out you have celiac disease. There is this great sense of relief at the front end of the experience in finally discovering what what wrong with you that was causing so much distress and discomfort. But then it begins to dawn on you that having celiac disease has a social cost to it. You can't just accept spontaneous invitations to go over to friends or family's homes for dinner or to go out to their favorite restaurants to eat with them. Some of them simply will not understand or believe that this is a real medical problem and that you must avoid all gluten in order to guard your health and be safe. You may begin to feel like a fifth wheel at social gatherings and it may cost you some friendships. I'll embed an article link on one person's commentary about this phenomenon. Just a heads up.
