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.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
