Braces (orthodontic)

I was diagnosed 5 years ago and have no trouble sticking to the diet.

I am quite anal about anything I put in my mouth and that is why I was wondering if anyone out there has had braces put on their teeth after being diagnosed and whether or not you have had any side-effects from them?

I had braces before the onset of my symptoms.I wore them probably a year before my symptoms started. They were a bit painful at first but that's about it.

I have been relatively symptom free now for 7 months and I do not want to proceed with them if the procedure or any substance they use in installing them might cause a reaction.

Thanks for your response.

I have been sending notes to our Celiac association, (Ottawa & Canada sites) and have not received any response.

I am beginning to think that maybe, just maybe I am over-reacting.

But as you well know, better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks again!

Any others?

I have braces on right now! I have not had any "gluten" problems. Maybe a little tenderness from time to time when they put on a new wire, but that is only temporary. :) I have the clear ones... can't even see them, can you??!!?? :)

Won't matter to me if/when I do get them, if they can be seen or not.

I am 44 and just excited about the fact that I may have straight teeth one day.

I always felt that my teeth would not last me very long as I was always at the dentist, but since being gluten-free, my teeth seem to have stabilized and I now think they may be with me for a while.

My wife and kids think it is a great idea!

:D

When they put the braces on I am not sure what kind of adhesive they use but you may want to check and see if that is gluten free. Also when and if they do impressions you need to see if that stuff is gluten free. Those would be the only things that come to my head right now.

Also when you go to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned make sure that the stuff they use is gluten free because some is not.

They won't cause any harm gluten-wise, but if you have amalgam fillings, metal braces can lead to more mercury emissions in your mouth. Mercury can cause complications in people who are susceptible to autoimmune diseases. A non-metal kind of braces like Invisalign should be fine. If you don't have these kind of fillings, there shouldn't be any problems of this nature. Good luck.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
