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.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
