i think there is one person (jerry K) on here who has had issues with his enamel. i know for my self i have had 4 teeth refilled in the last 6 months and 2 other teeth have new decay. i am not thrilled with all of this let me tell you my dentist figures its the acid reflux that i suffer with, not to mention that when you are going to the bathroom all the time and not absorbing nutrients this can effect your teeth as well.

I've had numerous dental problems my whole life: crowns, bridges, extractions, root canals, bad gums, etc.

In one strange instance, thirty years ago, a lump grew in a spot where I had a tooth pulled, due to a Vitamin A deficiency, and I had to have that cut out by an oral surgeon.

Yes, it is very common. When you are malnourished due to poor absorption you can not absorb the vitamins needed to maintian the enamel on your teeth, etc.

I personally have lost most of my teeth, due to this. I was diagnosed 19 years ago and I still have dental issues. I am in the process of getting partials at this point.

Here's the abstract of a recently published article from the May 2007 International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Dental enamel defects in children with coeliac disease. The study was conducted in Holland.

"Conclusion. This study showed significantly more specific enamel defects in Dutch children with coeliac disease as compared with children in the control group. Dentists could play an important role in recognizing patients with coeliac disease."

      Refractory Celiac disease - what to do

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your doctor is most likely correct here, and if you had high tTg-IGA and villous atrophy you likely have celiac disease and need to be gluten-free. If regular small amounts of gluten get in your diet, it will prevent recovery. Eating out in restaurants is the primary source of such contamination.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Mostly trial and error and noticing the effects of the supplements over time. It's important to look at the bottom of my original post in this thread to see nutrients that can be toxic in higher does, especially over long periods of time.

      As @trents mentioned, removing gluten if you have celiac disease would be key to villi recovery, and if you still are having issues trying to identify other triggers would be the next step, even though the additional intolerances will not likely contribute to villi recovery. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

      Well, it certainly seems reasonable to get checked for Crohn's since you have a family member with it and SIBO. You might also consider talking to your physician about a trial on an immunosuppressant, like prednisone, to see if numbers go down and symptoms subside. Sometimes, just interrupting the inflammatory cycle can effect a reset and put you on the road to health.

      I am wondering how you developed this supplementation regimen? Was it just through trial and error? Did you base this trial and error on blood tests or symptom improvement? It cost me $300 for the blood tests, so I would prefer not to do those regularly
