Help!

My teeth are so sensitive and are killing me right now. They are making my whole mouth hurt and chewing gum makes it worse.

Does anyone else have problems with their teeth/gums?

Yes, I have mild to moderate gingivitis despite brushing and flossing diligently and I have gums receding on a couple of teeth and that has really caused them to be sensitive. I have just recently switched to a gluten-free diet, so am hoping to see some improvement! Has anyone seen improvement to gum health that has been gluten-free for a while?

Yes, I had issues with my gums and teeth, but it was not from gingivitis in my case. For me it was acid reflux. I didn't even know it was acid reflux until my doctor figured it out. I would wake up sometimes and my nose would burn like crazy, like it was extremely dried out. Never any pain in my throat. Sometimes I would wake up coughing from aspirating acid into my lungs.

Other times I would wake up and my teeth and gums would hurt pretty bad. My gums would be pretty sensitive for a while. Flossing always meant blood. My reflux resolved once i removed gluten, casein, and soy from my diet. My teeth and gums are much better! :)

Don't know that your issue is related to reflux, but just a thought.

It's not fun at all! I was detoxing and my teeth felt fine. Now I've really upped my wheat/gluten usage per day because I'm going to get my Iga and IGg levels checked in less than a month. Since then, teeth in pain. They hurt so bad that they give me a "referred pain" to my tongue. So irritating.

I wonder about that acid reflux. I burp a lot, but I don't really have burning. Sometimes when I burp, though, I litterally have some throw up in my mouth. My throat will burn off and on - but I don't have tonsils and it's not that I'm "sick." How would I know about the acid reflux?

Tooth enamel problems are not uncommon in people who've had celiac since they were a child, but didn't know about it. Nutritional deficiencies (even minor ones) can cause the enamel to form improperly.

Ok, so if you have tooth enamel problems, is this what causes the sensitivities? Or what function does the enamel serve? Sorry this is problem such a stupid question, but I honestly don't know! I've been told I am probably nutrient deficient because of my burning mouth and sore internal oral tissues.

My dentist added a tooth desensitizer to my teeth. It last for about three weeks. He also said, make sure you choose paste over gel. Good luck

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
