Has Anyone Had Teeth Enamal Problems?

Hi-

I am brand new to this board and recently a friend of mine told me that my teeth enamal problems could be from Celiac disease. I also have problems with having bathroom emergencies (TMI). Does any one else have these problems?

It is very common for tooth enamel in celiacs to be defective. In some countries dentists are one of the first to suggest testing when they see thin enamel and lots of cavities.

By the way there really is no such thing as TMI here. :)

The first thing you should do before restricting your diet is go to your doctor and ask for a full celiac panel including a total IGA. It is also helpful to ask for a vitamin and mineral levels as we often are low in B12, iron, folate and others.

It can be - here is a good article about it.

Dental Enamel Defects and Celiac Disease

Celiac disease manifestations can extend beyond the classic gastrointestinal problems, affecting any organ or body system. One of these manifestations

Haha Bathroom emergencies! As I like to say, "It's all fun and games until you poo your pants!"...at 25, 26, 27...I like to share my stories with my grandmother who refuses to leave her house because she's scared she'll have an accident.

You are in good company here! The more I read on this forum the more I realize I'm not the only one that carries an "emergency" kit in their purse! I am glad you brought up the enamel problems-I am having an endoscopy at the end of this month to hopefully make a celiac diagnosis. I have had discolored enamel on my two front teeth since they came in. My mother also has these discolorations, so I always thought they were hereditary-which I guess they could be, through celiac disease.

Do you only have emergencies or periods of constipation too? I have been diagnosed with IBS, but after two fractured feet (leading to a dexa scan, which lead to osteopenia diagnosis), a B-12 deficiency, and Raynaud's disease, my gastroenterologist decided to do the EGD. I have had a negative celiac blood test.

I am still eating gluten, but paying careful attention to the way my body reacts after I eat it. Most of the time, it's not pretty!

Have you gone to a gastroenterologist yet? Good luck and keep reading the forum, there is great information located all over it!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?

      I have Celiacs and want you to be aware of the amount of weight you can potentially put on if you rely on gluten free snacks, bread etc.,they  are high in carbs.  I put on 25 lbs in a short amount of time.  Whole Foods are the best way to go but I struggle with this.  The cost of gluten free is also a problem.  I love black licorice but most have gluten.  My favorite chili seasoning as well.  The list is endless.  I take  Advil liquid gels and had no idea until I read this.  I hope you do better than I have done.  I feel I am destined to suffer daily no matter what.  My aunt didn’t take care of herself and died from complications.  I hope you can get on a good routine.

      Thank you, I appreciate the response. I'm going to begin the gluten free diet and wait for the biopsy results. I feel fairly certain that it's the right thing for my well being. I will keep you posted.
