Hi all,

Still gluten free for 2months -- but reality is sinking in big time. After my initial euphoria at finally feeling better! -- now I realize it's such a constant vigil. Gluten is everywhere -- in everything! Have been glutened 3 times now -- yuck! Latest one was today -- at the dentist's office. I told them about my gluten situation, and was assured there would be no problem. Had a 2+ hour appointment and sure enough -- sitting in the chair an hour & 1/2 after I arrived I felt that awful gurgling, bubbling, bloating -- get me to a bathroom NOW! reaction. That's exactly how I react to glutenings -- it comes on pretty fast for me.

I've been so very, very careful -- it really felt like something was going on in the Dentist's office -- but what? Anyone else ever have this reaction at the Dentist's?

Oh well....there's always tomorrow.

Anyone else ever have this reaction at the Dentist's?

Hi, No I havent had a reaction at the Dentist's, but after what is weird is I did after they put on my braces. And like you I asked and asked and they told me everything was fine, but I got sick for about 3 days which is not like me. I had all of my symptoms also so it wasnt something else. So yes I have had a reaction along the same lines, and it stinks!!

It may be the tooth paste/polish they use, or the fluoride rinse or mouthwash. I'll check with my aunt who's a dental hygienist to see if she has any insight, and let you know if I find out anything... At least she knows what celiac disease is. Maybe your dentist(s) didn't know to check the toothpaste??

This'll be a good thing to look into since I have to go to my regular checkup in a couple months. <_< My aunt is trying to figure out if my celiac disease is why I've had some dental issues. Anyone heard of a tooth having internal resorption? Good times.

Lucky me, my dentist's wife and four kids are celiacs. His office is definitely gluten-free, for which I am eternally grateful, having spent several hours in the chair the last two days :(:) Double root canal today, what fun!!

I am also lucky, my dentist is a lady, and has son with lactose intolerance and a weird monosodium glutamate intolerance herself, and is always willing to learn more.

So far no glutening from Dentist.

As far as I know, both bone re-sorption in the jaw, and tooth decay can be related to celiac (as well as gum disease) so, while I am not sure exactly what is meant by "internal tooth re-sorption", my guess is that it is related.

The gluten is in the flavored polish they use when they clean your teeth. After reading some posts here, it appears not all brands of the polish have gluten and that there is actually an unflavored product they can use that is just pumice. But these were older posts. Perhaps the safest thing is not to get your teeth polished at all.

BTW-- ACT mouthwashes (often rec. by dentists) are gluten-free. I have a confirm on that by email from the company.

Good to know. I am going to the dentist on Monday and I am nervous about it... I am going to make them check the polish.

I have definately been glutened at the dentist and also made to feel like my abused teeth were my own fault- by the hygentist!

First she asked my if I used a electric toothbrush? I said yes, and she said it must not be very good since I had discoloration on several teeth. When I told her it was Sonicare, she said that was a good brand but, I must not be using it for the full two minutes recommended. (I do)

I guess more people still need to be informed!!!

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
