Dental Problems

I am a newbie, and I suspect that I have celiac, although my blood test show to the contrary. I don't eat very much (if any) bread, or past so my tests may not be accurate.

Does anyone on this board have problems with their teeth (decay), and a high c-reactive protein?

Also, I started menopuse about the age of 41.

Has anyone had similar experiences?

Thank you in advance!

ps. my son had dermatitus in the diaper area when he was a baby, and cutting out wheat and guten helped a lot (Did this on my own). No one mentioned celiac at all (pre-internet days)

Yes I have a problem with decay on one of my teeth. I know it is not my whole dental structure but I do know it is from the malabsoprtion of calcium.

I have lost most of my teeth due to malabnsorption problems from the celiac. My teeth literally crumble. When I was diagnosed 19 years ago they said I was deficent in vitamin A and D. I was told you need those vitamins to mantain the enamel on your teeth. I may have been deficent in others I'm not sure what all they checked back then.

Thank you for your responses. My teeth, also, are crumbling out of my mouth. Instead of all the dental work I've had. It would have been nice if I could have stopped the decay, rather than fix each tooth, one by one.

Thank you again!

I never thought that my problems with my teeth were related to gluten. But, they could be. I broke one tooth off near the gum line and a large hole was broken out of another. Now that I'm gluten free maybe that will help.

I have lost more than 10 teeth in less than 5 years and my teeth that are left, break and crumble constantly.

In addition to my gluten intolerance, I have several autoimmune diseases. One of the big problems I have is severe vitamin d deficiency. I have to take 50,000 units 1 time per week. This is prescription dose.

Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, if you are lacking in vitamin D, the body cannot absorb calcium.

In addition to taking the vitamin d, I also have to take calcium supplements. Your vitamin d levels can be checked with a blood test.

It has made a difference with my dental checkups also.

I don't have much decay--only one filling in my whole mouth.

But, my teeth crack, break and chip quite a bit. I've had the front ones bonded due to a chip (very attractive :ph34r: ), and a moler repaired. There's another molar that has the corner broken off--I'll probably have to deal with that one next. <_< I've had another molar actually break in half while chewing--that was painful!

My teeth are all cracking out of my head. First they root canal them 3 times and then decide they are cracked and infected. Then they pull it then they put bridge around it. Then the next tooth goes bad and they have to cut off the bridge. Jaw/tooth pain is worse than labor. I don't eat beef or pork, but I have a cow bone in my jaw from when they reconstructed it because it was so deteriorated from infections. Lost 7 in the past few years including my wisdom teeth. I am only 32 and will need dentures pretty soon. Never knew why. Hmm...

I am in the process of fighting a severe infection in one of my teeth. It was root canaled, the infection came back. the dentist opened it back up and cleaned it again. The infection is now back for the third time! Now I have to have some sort of oral surgery where they cut open my gum and scrape the jaw bone. This really sucks!

I am also in the process of getting partial dentures. Sometimes I wonder if I would be better off just getting the remainders pulled and go for the full blown dentures. I am about to turn 32 and they say I'm too young to get dentures yet. I guess your jaw bone deteriorates if you have no teeth.

From my experience, I would not suggest that surgery. Just have it pulled. If it is cracked, it will always allow bacteria in no matter what they do to it. My grandfather lost all teeth before age 40. I plan on having implants - they don't crack and allow bacteria in.

My dentist is awesome. He looks at me like I am outside the norm but accepts that I have problems in my mouth and system - not in my head.

I think that now I have systemic candida setting off the celiac. I am sure you are on lots of Clindamycin - I think this broad spectrum created the candida problem. Take LOTS of the the things in ThreeLac - I feel like I am on death's door from this problem.

      celiac disease and braces

      Hello, My 17 yr old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease 2 yrs ago. She does not have gum disease and no history of cavities. Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      This is a common experience across the board with various brands of gluten-free bread products. Prices go up, size goes down. Removal of the egg component may be for the purpose of cost-cutting related to bird flu supply shortages or it may be catering to those with egg allergy/sensitivity, fairly common in the celiac community.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      My only proof

      Years ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came...

      Your Complete Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Plan: Recipes, Tips & Holiday Favorites

      Wow what a helpful article!! I am just seeing this now but I hosted a small group of family for Thanksgiving at my house this year and I did some of these things- got a butterball gluten-free turkey, got gluten-free stuffing, had a few gluten-free sides, and a gluten-free nothing-Bundt-cake. I had other non gluten-free things there too for others, and I also...

Her dentist is recommending braces for her lower teeth but I read it may worsen gum recession or possibly increase cavity risk which I know are already issues for patients with celiac. Has anyone here had braces and did it cause any problems or issues with gum recession?  Her dentist seemed oblivious that celiac patients are at higher risk of gum disease /cavities. Her bottom teeth are crooked but are pretty hidden even when she smiles. Thank you!!

      Living with Coeliac Disease since birth, Bread has always been an issue, never too nice, small slices and always overpriced, But Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread seemed to me to be an exception with it's large uniform 12 x 12cm slices that had the bounce, texture and taste of white bread even after toasting with no issue that it was also Milk Free. Unfortunately Sainsbury's have changed the recipe and have made it 'Egg Free' too and it has lost everything that made the original loaf so unique. Now the loaf is unevenly risen with 8 x 8cm slices at best, having lost it's bounce with the texture dense and cake like after toasting resembling nothing like White Bread anymore. Unsure as to why they have had to make it 'Egg Free' as the price is the same at £1.90 a loaf. Anyone else experiencing the same issue with it? - also any recommendations for White Bread that isn't prescription? / Tesco's / Asda's are ok but Sainsbury's was superior.

      Years  ago a friend and I drove north into Canada hoping to find a ski resort open in late spring,We were in my VW and found a small ski area near a small town and started up this gravelled road up a mountain. We  got about halfway up and got stuck in the mud. We tried everything we could think of but an hour later we were still stuck. Finally a pickup came down the road, laughed at our situation, then pulled the VW free of the mud. We followed him back to the ski area where where he started up the rope ski lift and we had an enjoyable hour of skiing and gave us a shot of aquavit  before we left.It was a great rescue.  In some ways this reminds me of your situation. You are waiting for a rescue and you have chosen medical practitioners to do it now or as soon as possible. As you have found out the med. experts have not learned how to help you. You face years of continuing to feel horrible, frustrated searching for your rescuer to save you. You can break away from from this pattern of thinking and you have begun breaking  away by using some herbs and supplements from doTerra. Now you can start trying some of the suggestions thatother Celiacs have written to your original posts.  You live with other people who eat gluten foods. Cross contamination is very possible. Are you sure that their food is completely separate from their food. It  is not only the gluten grains you need to avoid (wheat, barley, rye) but possibly oats, cows milk also. Whenever you fall back into that angry and frustrated way of thinking get up and walk around for a whild. You will learn ways to break that way of thinking about your problems.  Best wishes for your future. May you enjpy a better life.

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By marion wheaton · Posted

      Thanks for responding. I researched further and Lindt Lindor chocolate balls do contain barely malt powder which contains gluten. I was surprised at all of the conflicting information I found when I checked online.
