Late Teething A Symptom?


Randi

Recommended Posts

Randi Newbie

I have a friend who has a two and half year old daughter who I think needs to be tested for celiac disease. I've spent several hours on the Internet researching celiac disease and there are enough red flags to make me suspicious. I don't want to get into the exact details because I think giving too much information would be overstepping a privacy boundary since I'm not a close relative.

So at this time I would just like to ask this question to the parents of children with celiac disease. Were they late getting their baby teeth? Ive seen information about baby teeth having poor enamel, being prone to cavities, and losing them later than usual, but I can't find anything about late teething. However, it seems like plausible symptom.

This little girl did not get her first baby tooth in until she was a year and four months. The pediatrician said they wouldn't consider this a problem up until two years of age, at which point it would be need to be investigated. She made it within that time frame, so that particular aspect of her development was never looked into.

I can't give you a deffenent yes or no answear. I have never heard of this being a symptom but that doesn't mean it could not be so. My youngest daughter was born 3 months early and because of this I was told that she would have very week enamal, could have spots on her teeth, and would be very prone to cavities but nothing was ever mentioned about them coming in late or anything of that sort.....she may be celiac but we are not sure.....just thought that the week enamal might be similar. All babies are different and many don't fit the text books. My daughter got her first 2 teeth at 11 months and waited almost 5 months before getting the next ones. My oldest daughter who is celiac had no issues with teeth coming in late but is already getting cavities. If she has symptoms of celiac other than this though I would erge mom to get her tested.

That's a very interesting question. I was a late teether - I have no official diagnosis but I am definitely gluten intolerant if not celiac. All of my children were late teethers except my son - my oldest daughter has no official diagnosis either, but her big medical issues point to gluten ataxia and she has improved a good bit since going gluten free.

All of my brothers and my sister were late teethers too. None of them seem to have a problem with gluten, so who knows, maybe late teething is just a coincidence.

I wonder how many of us with celiac disease/gluten intolerance were late teethers? hmmmm....

Hi

My daughter did'nt get her first teeth until her 1st B-day. She has always been c and a couple of times had to give en to help her poop. Her poop that I have seen lately has been tan in color, has been complaining of her stomach hurting her. I have been tested for celiac disease but everything has come back negative, there are stomach issues a lot on he Dad side of the family. I have not gotten her tested I would like too, but she is terrified of needles and stuff like that, she can go to the Dr. if no needles are involved, same for her dad. just wanted to share.

I think so. My 2 1/2 year old was over a year old when she got her first teeth. Along with not gaining weight and nasty stools it was considered a concern.

Sorry I couldn't find a way to delete my accidental repost.

I don't know if it is a symptom but my daughter didn't get her first tooth until she was 17 months.

I think overall a bit slower than normal development is associated with celiac disease due to malabsorption. That's one of the things the pediatric gastro was interested in at his appointment. My son did not get his teeth late, but he did not sit unassisted until after 6 months, crawl until 8.5 months, walk until 14 months, and really start talking good until after 24 months.

      @Dora77, You shouldn't worry about getting glutened through your skin.  You would have to touch a gluten infested doorknob and then put your hand in your mouth.   I'd be more concerned with your mom's heating up gluten bread in the oven and boiling gluten noodles.  These methods cause particles of gluten to become airborne which would then enter your nose and be swallowed, going into your digestive tract.  I have to avoid the bakery aisle at the grocery store for this reason.  An M95 mask helps. If you get nutritional deficiencies corrected, your immune system will calm down and be less reactive to gluten expose.  Vitamin D helps regulate the immune system.  Thiamine and Niacin help make digestive enzymes which would help digest any accidental gluten exposure.  Thiamine helps Mast cells not to release histamine, an inflammatory agent released as part of the reaction to gluten, and also a neurotransmitter that causes alertness and anxiety, and the flight or fight response.  Pyridoxine will help improve the OCD.  Remember your brain is part of the body.  Vitamin deficiencies affect your brain and mental health as well as the rest of your body.

      I do not have evidence other than anecdotal but I am certain when I have gotten these it's the result of eating gluten (back when I did).  I don't get them now that I don't eat gluten.

      What really bothers me is if worrying about getting cc‘d from touching the same door knob as others touched is valid. Seems like an extremely unlikely way to get glutened but i read people saying that.    If thats true then theres realistically zero chance i dont get cc‘d in a non gluten-free household unless i Cook Everything myself and wash my hands multiple times in between and store all of my stuff separately

      Welcome to the forum, @Mrs. Cedrone! Among the various causes for canker sores, are "Nutritional problems like too little vitamin B12, zinc, folic acid, or iron" https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/canker-sores Could you be deficient on something?
    • Mrs. Cedrone
      I have been a diagnosed Celiac for over 30 years.  If I even get any type of cross contamination I end up in the hospital.  Recently I have been getting "cankers".  I am assuming that this is a result from something I am eating.  any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I follow an extremely strike diet as result and this is something new that has popped up.  I still get very ache sometimes and fatigued.  Thank you.
