1st Trip To The Dentist

SO my DD has her first trip to the dentist since we found out that she has celiac disease next week.

I have already contacted the dental staff and informed them of how serious it is for her not to get gluten and to look into any product that will go into her mouth.

From those with experience~ is there anything that you know of that does have gluten in it at the dental office?

Thanks!

My understanding is to watch out for powder latex gloves. :blink:

I would also be concerned about the latex gloves, but if my memory is correct it is not flour related but perhaps cornstarch or cellulose. Many doctors/ dentists have un-dusted gloves and I would request that.

There is no gluten on latex gloves. My girls and I have all been the dentist very recently. There was nothing with gluten. Both dentists were knowledgeable and already knew that everything they use was gluten free. I don't think there's anything to be concerned about.

When I first joined a ROCK group out here, one of the leaders' daughter got gluten from the toothpaste polish they used. They had 12 different flavors, and 11 were gluten free. She chose the wrong one and the dentist forgot about the gluten in that one particular flavor.

Juliet,

Do you know what flavor it was? If you could let me know, I will have the kids avoid it, just to be safe.

Thanks!

I have no idea, unfortunately, and I'm not certain how much it would help since I don't know if every dentist uses the same type of polish. Could you call them ahead of time to verify if and which products they use are gluten free?

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
