Teeth And Gluten

I am wondering if anyone has notice a difference in their teeth? I recently went for a check up and asked my dentist if anything they used had gluten in it, apparently they did years ago but not anymore. Every other year I would go for a check up I was booked to go back in weeks for fillings and I usually had about 2. This year I only have a tiny speck that they want to keep an eye on.

It wasn't until a few days later that it hit me that for the first time every I had no cavity. My thinking is that I am no longer poisoning my self.

There's actually a link between tooth enamel defects and celiac, so it might be connected.

My daughter had ridiculously weak teeth before she was diagnosed. Now they are white and beautiful. :D

I had a teeth staining issue before my body was completely healed. :)

Last check up and the dental hygienist was astonished that I had absolutely no plaque on my teeth. No cavities, no issues. I've noticed that since going gluten-free/sf my teeth feel so smooth as if I've gone for a cleaning, everyday! They also seem a bit whiter.

I've noticed the same thing myself. Before, when I would go to the dentist I'd have tons of cavities, no enamel, etc. even though I was doing everything the dentist wanted. Since going gluten-free almost a year ago my two check-ups have gone great and been the first time in years I haven't had a cavity.

      Talk to your doctor about switching to an antihistamine, and supplementing essential vitamins and minerals.  Dietary changes (low carb/paleo) may be beneficial for you.  Have you talked to a dietician or nutritionist about a nutrient dense gluten free diet?   It's harder to get all the vitamins needed from a gluten free diet.  Gluten containing products are required to be enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing.  Gluten free facsimile processed foods are not required to be enriched nor fortified.  So we have to buy our own vitamin supplements.   Glad to be of help.  Keep us posted on your progress!

      I’m pretty sure they do. I have been on myfortic, tacrolimus since 2021 for my liver transplant and added prednisone after kidney transplant.  I’m going to try to cut back omeprazole to 20 mg a day and then after a week try to stop altogether. Thank you for your help.

      A gastroenterologist doing an endoscopy.  Biopsies would be taken to be examined microscopically.  Do your anti-rejection medications cause digestive problems?

      Thank you Knitty Kitty, what type of doctor would diagnose Barrett’s esophagus? What is involved in the testing? Thanks!

      @Ginger38,  Are you taking a B Complex vitamin?  Vitamin D?  Thiamine in the form TTFD or Benfotiamine? I think increasing my B Complex vitamins and taking additional Thiamine and Vitamin C and zinc helps along with the Lysine.
