Well this is my first post on here. I am 20 years old and I was diagnosed with Celiac, Sept 08. I just recently visited my dentist and apparently my enamel looks like a 40 year olds. He has no idea what celiac is and has no idea how to help my enamel. I'm young and i don't want to lose all of my teeth so i am just looking for some help. He mentioned taking some supplements but i'm not sure what or how much. I take really good care of my teeth but i continue to get cavities and severe mouth and tongue pain. My dentist had no idea how to help me so i was hoping that someone on here might be able to. I'm having a hard time coping with the celiac as it is and now i could lose my teeth..... :(

Ask your dentist to check into remineralizing agents. In the meantime make sure you are getting enough calcium and other minerals. Be careful of your teeth, that kind of goes without saying. My DS broke a tooth once with a gummy worm. Just did the bite and stretch with his front teeth and one broke right in half. Don't do stuff like that. If you do break a tooth don't despair though. Denistry has come a long way and there are a lot of things they can do that are not drastic.

Do not use a desensitizing toothpaste without checking to make sure it is safe.

Hi, Stadium!

I have always had problems and develope cavities quickly. I saw my dentist last week and he told me I have brittle teeth. I don't know what this means and wonder if it is because I do not drink milk (gas issues with it)? I already know my enamel is thinning.

Oh my gosh! Thank you for this link! My front keeps changing color from normal white to brownish yellow. Now I know why! Thank you, thank you.

      Worsening vision 🕵🏽‍♀️

      By trents · Posted

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      By Name · Posted

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Awaiting dermatitis herpetiformis confirmation following biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
