Seems like last time I went to the Orthodontist for my fitting I was bloated after. Today I just picked up my Invisalign and feel a little bloated again. Could it just be something in the office? Could it be the latex gloves?

Hi there,

I have an invisaline also. I have an old one & I'm going to see my dentist tomorrow & get a new one made. I did call the office yesterday & asked them if there was any gluten in the invisaline. They told me no, but I'm still getting a new one made tomorrow just in case my old one is contaminated with gluten. I've been gluten free for nine weeks but still not feeling that much better. So I wondered if it was the invisaline, also.

Did you aslk them about the gloves they used? You might want to clean your invisaline with a tooth brush & Dawn liquid soap if you're worried about it having gluten on it. Ask your dentist's office first, but I'm sure it's okay.

Hopefully someone else can add to this. Lots of knowledgeable people on this forum!

Please let me know if you have any reactions once you get your new Invisalign. Thanks!

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
