Adhesive To Reglue Crown - May Be Dumb Question

My daughter was diagnosed almost 2 weeks ago, so we're definitely new to this. Although I have done a lot of research since she also has Type 1 diabetes and expected she would some day be diagnosed with celiac.

She has to have a crown "reglued" this afternoon. Could there be a possibility of gluten in adhesive? I will call the dentist, but want to know what I'm talking about when I ask him. Thanks.

I'm not sure, but I have read that dentists are clueless most of the time about whether the products they use contain gluten. You may have to get the name of the glue and contact that company directly to be sure.

Some dentists are more educated than others as far as celiac. Hard to believe that in some countries they are the first to suspect celiac because of the damage to enamel. Here doctors will blame it on sodas and acid foods.

Anyway call the office and ask them to check. Repeat that request to make sure they did when you get there. I have learned that many companies will not disclose the info except to the dentists office. The most risky items are tooth polish, mine uses plain pumice and the stuff they use on the swab to prenumb the area before injections but all items should be checked to be safest.

Paula...don't sweat this at all. I have had 25 years worth of dental work done, many crowns and soon an implant and the vast majority of dental products are gluten free. I called manufacturers and did a boatload of homework on this because of all the dental work I have had to have and found that the only thing I reacted to was the casting gum for the crown.....I reacted to the gums in the product, which is common for Celiacs to do. I have never reacted to anything else in a dental office and I am about as sensitive a Celiac as they make them! ;) Toothpaste, polishing grit, adhesives and numbing agents....all gluten free! Most dentists all use one of a couple of products too. From all I learned, companies now are very aware of the gluten issue and make their products safe for us to use. In fact, I couldn't find a product that did contain gluten.

Good luck!

Thank you. I did call the dentist's office. They found the box the cement came in and the information pamphlet inside. It did state that it did not contain gluten, wheat grains, and several other things. So she's all put back together again.

      How many people here are aware that there are 9 types of gluten that Celiacs should be aware of?

      I would like to say you saved me. I’ve been so sick the last few years, celiac since 1997. And reading your post about the other glutens/grains that can be sensitive to celiacs, is the only thing that has ever helped me. Since going off a carbohydrates/grains, even gluten-free ones, My chronic pain is  85% better. I’m actually losing weight which, that’s a long story but was impossible. I definitely am like you. Thank you so very much for posting. For some of celiacs I do believe this is the magic key.

      Curious if I should quit my job

      I 100% believe if you were sticking gluten items, especially flour, and breathed it in you could be glutened. I’m a celiac for almost 30 years. For the first ten years as a celiac I’d help my polish family make pierogis at Christmas time. I would only cook them at the stove and I didn’t touch anything with my hands using spoons. But the flour is in the air. And I’d get violently ill for 1-2 weeks after the last few years I did it. Wearing a back is a great suggestion and washing your clothes and showering when you get home. Good luck. And I’m so sorry your parents are emotionally supporting you.

      Dealing with celiac and menstrual cycle

      By DebD5 · Posted

      Have you had your thyroid checked? I was diagnosed at 24 with celiac. Lost my period permanently at 32. Found out six months after I lost my period that I had 1 ovary with 1 follicle. I had a child already but wanted more. Ended up having two more children with one ovary and one follicle. But my doctors theories are if I would have gotten my thyroid checked sooner and fixed through medication, maybe things would look different. Who knows. I only share my experience so you question your doctors and advocate. Always see an endocrinologist for thyroid care fyi. Actually always see the specific Dr for your specific ailments. I’d also consider seeing a gynecologist that specializes in...

      Advice please

      This. Scott said it beautifully. Document and start a trial gluten-free diet. I can also recommend an inflammation dietitian I saw last summer if interested. She’s the only one who helped me on a path to healing through an elimination diet. Which is tricky with your little one. But I completely trust her, she’s very expensive though. I figured out I’m sensitive to so many things and follow a gluten-free diet religiously. Just had an upper and lower endoscopy/colonoscopy and zero signs of celiac disease so they said. I’m a celiac since 1997. But my 33 yr old daughter is very gluten intolerant since 20 yrs old.

      I so appreciate you talking about this. Honestly I’m so sick the most part of the last 15 years, I’m going to cross reference your list with my own. Celiac since 24 yrs old diagnosed in 1997. I just saw a specific celiac GI specialist at the celiac disease center in Chicago and when I told her all the food reactions I was having she said she believed me but there was no clinical evidence to support my reactions(I felt so unseen, she recommended I see a gut psychologist, what the heck). I react with severe body aches to bloating and dizziness to exhaustion:  most lectins except berries and low lectin veg, no eggs, no nightshade veg, no dairy, all carbohydrates including no gluten-free...
