I just got braces about a month ago and have noticed my digestive system getting more sensetive (for about a month.) Could these be connected? And if so, does anybody know if the "cement" that they put the braces on with has glunten in it?

I don't believe it does. I had braces put on a few months after getting my diagnosis and wore them for 2 years. I never had any problems from them like that. Could there be any other places that you can be getting hidden gluten from?

Thanks blueeyedmanda! Yes, it is still possible that I am still getting hidden gluten. I was just diagnosed a few months ago so I'm still getting the hand of the whole gluten-free diet thing.

Have your dentist check everything they use on you. Chances are the adhesives and such are okay but it is better to be safe than sorry. Celiac can also effect the strength of your tooth enamel so be sure to keep every cleaning appointment and do make sure that they check the pastes and such that they use when cleaning. I speak from past experience here. I had braces for 2 years and when they were removed I had over 20 cavities and 2 root canels that needed to be done. I didn't have regular cleanings during the time and really regreted it.

I thankfully didn't have any cavities but I had the worst black mark/stains....and I was so scared they were never going to come off, turns out it was cement staining...yikes!

Raven makes a good point--at cleaning appointments have them check the paste for cleaning I know some member have posted about feeling ill after cleaning appointments. Good Luck :) You will love your smile when they come off. I had them as adult and it really does lift your self-esteem. I am very glad I did it.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      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.
