Hi Melissa,

Some of us are more sensitive than others. I, myself, have an ulcer and IBS in addition to Celiac. The people in your support group who don't have symptoms are very lucky. I can't answer your question about how long it takes before our symptoms go away because I was only diagnosed last May and have the added medical issues. I just wanted to make sure there was an answer to your post so you'd know you're not alone. I know that someone with more experience and more answers will post a response soon. Just know I'm here if you need to vent.

I am brand new to this, but I am shocked about how intense my reactions are. A few months ago I didn't feel well at all, but I was getting through my days eating gluten and not ever connecting the dots of what was making me feel so bad.

Yesterday I got glutened after being gluten free for only 4 months and my head was spinning with all the things that were happening to me just from "trace" amounts of gluten. It was overwhelming and truly scarey.

Sometimes when I read through the forums I get nervous thinking that other intolerances are sure to follow. It feels like everyone has more than just one thing they have to watch. As far as I know I only have gluten and an allergy to pineapple to beware of. I hope it stays like that forever, but I am wary that Celiac Disease is just the doorway to other things I don't want.

Sorry to be a downer, but it's my very real concern.

Back at you girlfriend. we WILL get through this together. And we're lucky enough to have a whole community to support us. BTW, I just moved from NJ. If you feel like it PM me where you live. I'll be going back to visit this summer. Perhaps we could meet. Patti (jerseyangel), that goes for you, too!

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
