Been Off Gluten For Weeks Now, Why Are My Teeth Still Shifting?

Im still confused about this. Nobody ever talks about it. My teeth are becoming a wreck and I cant do anything about it. Ive been off gluten and taking a bunch of vitamins to try to help my teeth and gums. They are healthy with no cavities. Will it just teeth just stop moving over time or will I always have to put up with it?

Have you asked a dentist? Mine and my son's are reasonably knowledgeable about Celiac and teeth.

Have you been tested for vitamin problems and addressing those or just guessing which ones you're low on?

Have your had your bone density checked (and Vitamin D)? Osteoporosis is one of the more common side effects associated with celiac, and it could be that your teeth are moving because you do not have good quality bone in your jaw to hold them in place. If you haven't had a DEXA scan, get one right away. Also, your dentist should be able to evaluate the qualitty of the jaw bone somewhat from x-rays of your mouth. Time for a visit to see him too :)

Yeah I went to the dentist to get xrays of the jaw bone and that was all fine. I dont know what my vitamin levels are. I asked the doc if they were ok and she said they didnt even check for that. I could just go to the doc and request my vitamin levels to be checked?

I have lots and lots of teeth problems since my early 20's before diagnosis but after some of my symptoms started ie dry eyes, joint pain. Just had my 9th root canal and am about to get a crown on a old root canaled tooth, Oh joy. Doctors can't say for sure whats causing it, dentist, been to several have no idea either. Its not going away I am sorry to say but maybe you are luckier. Hang in there and let ne know if the discover the root (excuse the pun) of the problem.

My gums are still sore and bleed sometimes and I was diagnosed 4 months ago. I know I had a few problems with cross contamination early on but none in the last month for sure. I know my bones are good so I am a bit concerned about why this is still going on. Plan to see the dentist next week so if I find out anything that could help you, I will post.

I liked Open Original Shared Link and the previous one about dental health. It's more than just gluten and sugar that impact dental health, other foods can help or hinder it, too. The weston a price people have a lot to say about the connection between diet and teeth/jaw bone development/health, too.

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      Am I nuts?

      One doctor suggested it, but then seemed irritated when I asked follow-up questions. Oh well—
