Does Celiac affect our teeth and gums? My sister (undiagnosed and in extreme denial) just went to the dentist and has gum disease, 9 cavities, etc. tc. I told her I thought Celiac contributed to that and she might get less tartar and the like if she quit gluten. I'm trying to convince her to get tested....was I totally lying? Or did I read this someplace?

celiac disease is known to cause tooth enamel defects which can lead to numerous cavities.

I have really bad gums. I've convinced my dentist to give me 6 months gluten free to see if my gums improve. It seems to me that the whole body inflammation that comes along with gluten intolerence could affect a lot of things.

What? My teeth are WORSE. There are molars I can't even touch as I think there is no longer any enamel on them at all....just went to the dentist and he sort of dismissed it. Can anything be done about this? My teeth are killing me! Gums have been receding for years and continue to recede. I think one day my teeth will fall out of my head, when I'm really old, how scary is that.

Am going to confess.....I am a bedtime eater :ph34r: - for years, after brushing teeth and settling in, I start eating my snack (was pretzels for years *sniff* and then rice cakes, tortilla chips, whatever) and so drift to sleep without brushing my teeth again. :ph34r: ....this CAN'T be good.....

My gum problems cleared up - pre-gingivitis. If you have enamel problems, that is a different issue.

I belive that celiac afffects gums. My gums started receding about eight years ago and I had a very bad dentist so I didn't listen to my gut, anyways that's another story. But, no one in my family has gum recession and I have had dental coverage my whole life. So, I took very good care of my teeth and gums. I'm supposed to have two gum grafts done, but my insurance doesn't cover enough of the large price tag, so sometime in the future I will have it done.

My gums and my son's teeth are terrible. I now think that my grandmother had celiac disease. She had to have all of her teeth pulled in her late 20's because of horrible gum disease and infection. That was over 70 years ago, though. I didn't realize this until recently when I started complaining of my gums to my Dad. Thank goodness for modern dental care! I am very strict about brushing for us and we still have problems.

      Thank you all for sharing your experiences! And I am very thankful for that Thanksgiving article, Scott! I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache...

      @Mari, did you read that second article that Scott linked? It is the most recently date one.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
