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.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Thank you for sharing all of this, Knitty Kitty! I did just want someone to share some commonality with. I did not know This one Deficiency was a thing and that it's common for Celiac Disease. It makes sense since this is a disorder that causes malabsorption. I will have to keep this in mind for my next appointments. You also just spurred me on to make that Dietician appointment. There's a lot of information online but I do need to see a professional. There is too much to juggle on my own with this condition.<3
