Why Does Celiac Cause Tooth Discoloration?

I can find a lot of references to it being causal, but none say why. If my 3yo's teeth are already discolored (not brown by any means, but not pearly white baby teeth either any longer), what does this mean for her permanent teeth? Anything? Thanks.

If it is caused by celiac, then the permenant teeth may be already formed and already affected. Here's an informative article: Open Original Shared Link

And a link to a previous discussion with good info from Happygirl: Open Original Shared Link

Interesting... my daughter is 6 and we are waiting for her test results back but in the mean time have started the gluten-free diet. She has not lost any teeth yet and none are loose. Her teeth came in fairly late too as a baby. Her sister who is not showing signs of celiac is 7 and has lost 7 teeth! I did a google search and came up with this thread that I thought I'd try to post... Other than this, I couldn't find much else...

      Gluten-Free Newbie

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By RMJ · Posted

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Gluten Intolerance And Low White Blood Cell Counts?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana

      The patient is positive for DQA1*05, one half of the DQ2 heterodimer

      Julia530 - I have the same gene structure and most of the symptoms you have experienced plus more.....I agree with you whole heartedly!! There are approximately 10 (NOT TWO) genes that can predispose a person to having Celiac Disease. I read in Pub Med that HLA DQA1:05  can result in Celiac Disease in approximately 1 in 875 people. While it is obviously more rare it is NOT BENIGN and should not go unnoticed. Go get the book "NO GRAIN, NO PAIN" and I highly suggest you read it cover to cover. It is written by a Chiropractor who quit his medical education when the VA wouldn't allow him to treat the Veterans with debilitating arthritis with a grain free diet. I have been grain free for over 10 years now.....the facts are we are being lied to! There is a form or gluten in every protein in every grain on the planet of which there are 1000 or more. Just because all they are testing for is the Gliadin in wheat is no excuse to report only partial facts.
