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.

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
