Teeth Grinding?

Did any of your children have teeth grinding with celiac? Just adding this to my many list of celiac symptoms my daughter has if it is.

I don't think it's necessarily related to celiac, but kids are awful about it. My daughter only has 5 teeth and she grinds them!

Hi there. My son (12) was just diagnosed with celiac. He grinds his teeth so badly that I'm surprised he has any teeth :D If he sleeps in the same room as us, it is not a very restful night. Is that a celiac symptom?? I've never heard that one before, but there are new things that I am learning about celiac on a daily basis (everytime I'm on this board almost :) )

Oh, I can not tell you how much teeth grinding bothers me! Nails down a chalkboard, not a problem. Going in to kiss my 6 year old goodnight and finding him grinding away a big problem! lol

Seriously, is this an actual symptom? Oddly, my middle son and suspected celiac does not do this at all, it is only my oldest son. Apparently though my DH reports I have done this in my sleep too. Ooops!

I don't know if it is a symptom or not. I just read under the sleep forum that a lot of people have this. Whether it is just a common enough problem or related to celiac, I am not sure. I have heard though that people who are under stress (physical or emotional) will grind their teeth.

My daughter, age 6, is just now beginning the testing phase. She has been short stature for quite awhile and has fallen off of her own curve again. She is not even on the charts. At the age of almost 4, one of the antibodies was high for celiac and one was low, though I have read that antibodies are not a good predictor of celiac in children under 5. She also has shown up with a mysterious rash (doctors call it perplexing), which I believe is DH. We see a pediatric dermatologist next Tuesday. On top of everything else, she has always been a poor sleeper and a teeth grinder and just wanted to know if it was of any significance.

What does the rash look like? I know of a few people who have had diagnosis of mastocytosis with perplexing rashes but I am far from an expert in that field. It goes hand in hand with foods the children seem to react to.

I looked at the mastocytosis pictures and no nothing like that at all, but thanks for putting your thinking cap on. Her rash looks like poison ivy, chickenpox, and scabies all combined (though all individually have been ruled out). It is fluid filled like chickenpox, but clustered (ankles, stomach, face, armpits, inside of elbows, wrists and buttocks.) It started out around ankles 15 days ago, spread to stomach 2 days later, remained stable until 5 days ago and then starting spreading like wildfire. After an antibiotic (which cleared up a secondary bacterial infection from itching) and a steroid cream, it has somewhat slowed down, though she still appeared with a few more spots on her fingers today. Grandma has Sjogrens and rheumatoid arthritis, grandpa has diabetes mellitus Type 2. Grandma's siblings and father all died of esophageal or stomach cancers.

Hello, i'm new but this might sound like something my daughter had. My daughter had a rare rash called mulluscum contagiosum. A couple of questions does it have a white spot? Does you daughter sratch them and they pop and others appear in other places? what kind of medication is she on? is her skin extreamly dry after it heals from the rash?

look it up it might be what she has

I have celiac and grind my teeth, and my dentist said I have TMJ, but he never said what causes it. Hubby thinks I grind my teeth in my sleep due to stress, and being sick with celiac can be stressful.... :unsure: I don't know, if it's a symptom of celiac though.

I clench not grind and am gluten sensitive. My dentist said the major cause is stress. I clench more when I have a lot going on at work. Don't think it is related to gluten.

I've read somewhere that grinding can be caused by mineral deficiencies (magnesium?) which could be caused by celiac. I know stess doesn't help!

Okay, I did a little research. The deficiencies can be magnesium, calcium and B5. I've really been clenching my teeth lately and recently added the magnesium and calcim, guess I've got to get the B5 too.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have 4 kids, and I really want to know. If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By par18 · Posted

      Been off this forum for years. Is it that important that you get an official diagnosis of something? It appears like you had a trigger (wheat, gluten, whatever) and removing it has resolved your symptom. I can't speak for you, but I had known what my trigger was (gluten) years before my diagnosis I would just stay gluten-free and get on with my symptom free condition. I was diagnosed over 20 years ago and have been symptom free only excluding wheat, rye and barley. I tolerate all naturally gluten free whole foods including things like beans which actually helps to form the stools.

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the brain fog is back and I feel very tired.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/
