Transparent Teeth, Acid Reflux

ok, about 6 years ago I noticed that my front teeth, starting at the tips, were becoming transparent, like the white thickness is disappearing leaving a thin transparent effect. like you can see the white pulpy part, but like its receding from the tips almost (?). and all my teeth feel kind of unusually sharp and craggy, so maybe erosion is happening all over but is more noticeable on the thinner front teeth. i also have a bit of a small line of brown stain on a tooth. anyway, is this typical for "tooth enamel defects" in celiac patients (i'm undiagnosed). i do seem to have some reflux (no heartbearn, just occasional regurgitation into throat) which has been there mildly off and on since childhood. i am not aware of stomach acid coming into my mouth, which i understand can cause enamel erosion, just wondering if anyone else had something similar?

My teeth have 14 caps because of the enamel being gone. My teeth would break off and then they started not to be able to hold the fillings for very long. I have 4 teeth on the bottom front that are translucent because of no enamel. I find them disgusting. I was thinking about having them also capped, but then I got the bill for my 18 year old granddaughters wisdom teeth out, full braces, implant and a false tooth on the implant. Needless to say her beautiful white teeth are more important than an old lady's. Don't ask what her teeth are going to do to our fixed income! She lives with us.

i had reflux for years and years before i knew i was celiac. i do not have damage to my teeth, but from what i understand, the acid can damage the teeth.

PLEASE do not panic yet over the enamel. I was almost 62 years old before I got diagnosed with Celiac and the damage had many years to progress. Just follow the diet while you are young and you won't have the severe problems older people like me ended up with. :rolleyes:

that's my understanding too. but my reflux is odd, i get a burp-like regurgitation of food into my throat sometimes, but i never get heartburn or pain in my stomach or esophagus, althougth sometimes acidic food bothers my stomach. and i never taste acid in my mouth, but maybe i wouldn't have to for it to be there. the tooth transparency thing is obnoxious to look at. i guess i will have to look into dental caps. thanks for the replies.

I use to be bulmic and i had to have one tooth pulled (in the way back) because the acid deteroted away. i use to binge and purge alot, so you shouldn't have to worry about that. just check with you dentist, they can help you with them. as far as the reflux the doctors had my daughter go back and wheat for about 5 months (for testing, which she got to sick anyways), and now she has refluz again(she even had a surgery to stop it) ashtma, and sleep apnea. so are they from wheat and gluten the doctor said i can't prove it, she has been on the diet for a week now and her reflux is slowly going away. good luck

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
