Any Dentist's Out There? Or Anyone That Might Know!

Just wondering if anyone has any information about the cement that dentist's use in their practices? I had a cap cemented onto a post, inside a broken off tooth yesterday, and I am suffering severely today. I know that it was not food, only fruits, vegetables, and meat/fish yesterday...and the last 5 days, and everything was made at home by me in a gluten-free home.

I specifically asked them to find out before I went if it had gluten in it, but when I got there know one said anything.... 2 different cements were used, along with novocain, but I think the novocain was okay. I got the novocan at 3:00 - it did not wear off until after 6 at night.

If it's the same stuff that orthodonists use to secure the wires behind your teeth (post braces) then it's gluten-free.

Did they use a topical to numb the area before injection of the novacaine? This is often the culprit. You should double check on the glue though and also call your dentist today and tell him you have gotten glutened there. Many dentists are clueless and do not think there is a need to check products. They often assume they are all safe, they are not. It makes me so angry that in other countries dentists are often the first to notice problems because of the effects on the enamel and the first to refer children for testing. In the US they know nothing about it at all and just traumatize us further by yelling at us for not taking care of our teeth as they crumble out of our heads.

Yes, they used a topical to numbing gel too....I know the dentist scraped the extra dried glue away, and I did rinse, but I am sure I swallowed some of that also. I was so ill yesterday, had every symptom, and painful D, today the symptoms I have remaining are super gas in my belly, and abit of fatigue, dizziness, and extreme back pain. I will call tomorrow and tell them how seriously ill I got after being there.

I definately asked before I went to the dentist to check on what they were going to use to be sure there was no gluten in it...but I guess they did not take me seriously.

I explained to the dentist....of which I do like, and only been going to him for about 2 years.... that most dentists recognize the dental enamal effects caused by celiac sprue. He said he never heard of this disease before, but would keep his eyes open for the next patient. This should be something learned in dental school - it has to do with tooth enamal for heaven sakes!

Thanks for the advice.

Hello,

Don't know if this is too late for you, but I have a listing of the gluten status of many common in-office and over-the-counter dental products on my website. Please feel free to print it out and bring to the dentist or refer them to the website. I can't post it here, but it is on my profile page.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Julie

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      I was not a well child and on my own would stop eating certain foods when a stomachache occurred. As I got older, I began more and more anemic and ended up unable to hold food down at all. Once an endoscopy occurred, doctor said I had an obstruction in my stomach but nothing said about Celiac Disease. Dr. did stomach bypass surgery, removed a 1/3 of my...

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      While it seems unlikely to contain intentional gluten ingredients--and based on the ingredients you provided, this canned Wendy's chili appears to be gluten-free, but with a very important caveat: it cannot be considered certified or guaranteed gluten-free due to the potential for cross-contamination and the ambiguous nature of "natural flavors."

      Top Brands of Gluten-Free Canned Chili

      I have same question as trents above. After I mentioned how much I liked Wendy's chili, a neighbor gave me a can b/c I didn't know could buy it in a can. Is gluten free in Wendy's restaurant, but can doesn't say gluten free so afraid to eat it. (Can says provides 50% Daily Value of protein, another plus.) Below are ingredients on can. Would the experts...

      Study Estimates the Costs of Delayed Celiac Disease Diagnosis (+Video)

      Some of my symptoms started in childhood, with many visits to the school nurse (mostly after lunch) with stomach aches. Low weight, thin hair and fatigue persisted through my adult life. In my 40's I began to lose a lot of weight, terrible episodes of digestive upset, etc. Two years and many tests and bills later, gallbladder, lactose, etc with no definitive...

      Rectal pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      When I have had what I think are episodes of this (I've never had a formal diagnosis for PF) it seems to be triggered by bloating caused by something I've eaten - a friend had an episode of this after eating too many apples, for me corn and rice cakes seemed to give me IBS and trigger this.  I am not a medical person but it seemed like the extra pressure down there perhaps added pressure to already sensitised pelvic and rectal muscles. Coeliacs can suffer from bloating when they are first diagnosed due to the inability to digest food properly.  Lactose for me caused a lot of bloating and when I came off it temporarily after diagnosis it helped reduce bloating.  Iron supplements and the timing of taking them also caused discomfort and I had to experiment a bit with type and timing before my gut felt comfortable.   Maybe something to think about?   Some coeliacs suffer from constipation - again, just a thought, but perhaps if you had issues with that it might be a contributor.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      At a family wedding in Italy last year I was drinking gluten free Peroni which was fine for me. From the Daura Damn website ... " Our guarantee less than 3ppm: each batch is analyzed and certified by the CSIC using the R5 Competitive ELISA test before hitting the market. This way, we ensure that its gluten content is always below 3ppm "

      Hi jmartes, I brought up doTerra's website and see that they do have many supplements, offer  support and help. And using their organic products has been helpful. and yet you are not able to work enough to support yourself when, if you were healtht, you could work for another 20 years. It does not seem that they offer a program to follow and instead are offering supplements for your symptoms. This has helped you but you are not able to work very much.  The Programs I have seen  online usually have 3 parts. The first is a Parasite cleanse. The 2nd is the Kidney cleanse and the  3rd is a Liver cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. You need to doall these cleanses to have your whole body functioning well. I can only reccommend the program I gave you because that is the one I used and still do. (drclark.net)  When I see a newprovider and tell I have Celiacs and they look skeptical I tell them that when I am gluttoned the reaction happens 8 or more hours later with intestinal painful cramping followed by diarrhea. Providers are willing to accept tha I probably have Celiacs and are more likely order tests such as vitamin levels. Is this what happens if you eat only a small amount of Gluten? You mentioned going to Mayors. 20 years ago many Dr.s wanted to include a celiac screening as a standard test so that more people eould diagnosed and not become disabled. It did not happen but the Federal levgislature did pass a law so that Celiacs could claim deductions for the gluten free food they bought. What were you going to ask the Mayors to do?

      Gluten free nuts

      By Clear2me · Posted

      Thank you for all the excellent information. I moved from Wyoming to California. May be its where I am located but So far none of the Costco Kirkland brand I have looked at is labeled gluten free. Same with the Sam's Members Mark. The Kirkland nuts you mention all say they are processed in a plant that processes wheat.  I am going to keep checking. Thank you. The Azure Market looks promising 😁 Take care S
