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.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
