I'm wondering if I'm the only mutant out there who has experienced this. :P I figured out that I am completely soy and legume intolerant. So, I cut them out. I had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia but even the muscle pain from that is gone except when I get "legumed" (my gosh- we get glutened, soyed, dairied and now legumed).

I was having real problems with my TMJ and grinding my teeth so I was wearing my mouth gurad. Mouth got irritated so I stopped (seem to have stopped grinding my teeth since I cut out legumes too?). I thought it was sensitive teeth so I switched toothpastes- then I realized that it was actually my gums that hurt. :blink:

So, now that I've cut out soy and other legumes, my gums are not sore every day. But I think I got accidentally "soyed" on Friday and my gums were so sore. Does this happen to anyone else? I figured it was worth asking! Thanks, Beverly

Only gluten makes my gums hurt. I also cannot consume milk, but doing so has a different set of symptoms.

My first sign that I have eaten gluten is sore gums...usually turns into nasty white ulcers.

Thanks for replying...... my gums hurt again today and the only thing I ate yesterday that was new was a frozen fruit bar that had no gluten in the ingredients and the only warning it had was that it may contain milk or milk protein. My tummy is also acting up and it seems as though the 2 go hand-in-hand. I suppose it could have been made on shared equipment. :angry:

:) Hi Beverly, I hate to say this, but it may be the dairy. I have had problems with mouth ulcers, sore throats and gum sores since I was a kid and it got better gluten-free, but not gone until I found out about the casein intolerance and cut out dairy. Now, I get the exact symptoms of glutening with dairy. You may want to try cutting it out for a couple of weeks and see if that makes a difference.

btw-Love your new avatar---what an amazingly beautiful couple you are!!

Oh Robbin- that's so sweet! He's my big bear... toughing it out together right now but he's doing much better.

So, dairy huh? Well, it's worth a shot. It's the one thing I've put off putting off. Guess I have no choice....feel hideous today. <_<

My gums get really sore from dairy. At least thats what I think its from. It only happens when I eat dairy....which is almost never...so it seems like I have my answer. Its a really uncomfortable feeling when it happens though. Fortunately its not that often.

I have problems with my gums at different times in my cycle, so I think for me there is a hormone connection.

But in unrelated events, I also notice a significant amount of what the dentist called "erosion" at the base of the tooth where I get like an electrical shock sort of if I touch the area. I wonder if it had to do with undiagnosed allergies all these years??

Our bodies are so weird :blink:

I think that comes from gum recession. The gums arent totally covering the root of the tooth so the exposed area can cause that kind of sensation when you touch it. I dont think its related to food allergies though...I think it can happen to anyone. The dentist always tells me to floss more to prevent that from happenning....not that I'm good at following through. :ph34r:

Ok, this probably sounds weird, but when you say your gums hurt...what do they feel like? I have the sensation of constantly wanting to press on them...which I do...it relieves the discomfort only while I'm pressing on them and then it comes back. I wouldn't describe mine as pain, but more of bothersome or discomfort. Does this sound like what you're describing or is this totally different? anybody else feel like this? I also have receding gums as someone mentioned where it's very sensitive where the tooth and gum meet. Sensodyne is supposed to help, plus there is some sort of filler that the dentist can put on it to prevent future pain. It doesn't last forever, but you can always have it redone later. Sorry, I can't remember what it's called, but I had it quite a few years ago (and am ready for it again).

My gums are sore constantly (when they are) but I just figured out two things. One, the whitener in my toothpaste was making my gums hurt (didn't know that at first). DO NOT SWITCH TO SENSODYNE- it has gluten in it. I found out the hard way.

You can brush your teeth with pure baking soda for a little while until they calm down. Also, I switched to Tom's of Maine and my gums haven't hurt since :D

HI, I'm a new member, so not sure if it is too late to add to this discussion: My gums have been bothering me off an on for 6 months. Receding gumline and same sensation as described above. I self-diagnosed being gluten intolerant in April/May 06 and have been mostly gluten-free, though just had a week of antibiotics which is suspect had gluten. Gums considerable worse. Haven't tried going dairy free :(

Thanks! I think I messed this post up!

Hi Gypsybvi--you can't do much to mess up a post. It's often helpful to bring up old posts, so thank you for doing it.

I actually get two types of gum soreness. Before I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia, I had large red sores that would extend from the base of my tooth and creep along the gums and spread out--that was painful and felt better if I touched it. I also get neuralgia when I'm congested, and that's a constant pain like you feel as though your teeth will fall out. Decongestant or advil helps with this one. I haven't had gum soreness specifically from celiac disease, but my PA is from having celiac. The neuralgia just shows up on its own, and a lot of other people in my family get it as well.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3. Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C. Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine. Weight...

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

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +

Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind
