Things I Have Found Out

Havn't posted for a while. Its been a busy summer.

For a recap: I tested positive for Ciliac disease in just one area in a blood test 6 mos. ago. I have been gluten free since then, barring a few mistakes.

My symptoms were horrible sore and receeding gums which I had to control using

prescribed steroid rinces ect. Which weren't working that well in the end.

I just had a checkup from my original doctor who noticed a big positive change in my condition. I told him about the diet, and that I was only using the medication sparingley. He suggested I stay on the gluten-free diet since its working, which of course I will.

What I have found out is, its a slow healing process. Stick with the diet and be patient.

That is very true :) I'm glad that you're noticing improvements on the diet.

Are the receding gums a part of celiac disease? I have just been told that I need a gum graft for my receding gums. I wonder if there is a celiac disease connection?

My sister, who will not get tested for celiac disease, has all ready had a dental bone graft and gum grafting at 30 some years of age. If malabsorbtion of nutrients is a cause, then there is an obvious connection.

I think I read somewhere that there is a connection. My teeth shifted some after developing celiac disease. All those high school years in braces and now not much to show for it! :angry:

Yes, I believe it is. I have oral Lichen Planus, which I believe was brought on by Ciliac disease. I had a gum graft on one side before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. It seemed the graft went well at first. But then the graft site and donor site seemed to be attacked by the LP disease. After being on the Gluten free diet. Things are way better. I wish I would have discovered to gluten-free diet before having the skin grafts.

Thanks for the replies. I'm really not looking forward to the gumk graft. If only I had gone gluten-free earlier. But that's only if there is a connection.

I have receding gums too! I never thought of there being a connection to celiac disease. My sister had a graft but I haven't had to do it yet. Hopefully it will never get to that point....

Thanks for the information about the gum graft. I had one years ago, was threatened with one on the other side. The one that was done is receding and probably needs to be done again. I am newly "diagnosed" and so this information will be helpful if the new dentist brings this up again.

If you use alot of antacids...this too will receed your gums.

Things like Prilosec, Zantac, and Pepsid will. I would recommend to use them just when you need them and not overuse.

I've never used an antacid. No one in my family has receding gums and I have had a dental plan my whole life. So the gluten connection I find very interesting.

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right! The logo the have on their packages got me confused--it looks like they are less than 20ppm, not certified GF. Thanks for catching that! My brain also zeroed in on this "less than 10ppm" but I should have seen the rest...

      Still unsure.....

      Zinc glyconate lozenges (Cold Eeze) helps fight off viral respiratory infections by coating the mucous membrane cells to protect them from virus.  Zinc is an antiviral essential mineral. Choline deficieicy can be the cause of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.  It is estimated by some experts that less than 10% eat the minimum RDA of around 450 mg.  It has also been connected to gallbladder disease.  Brain fog and high homosystein blood level is an independant indicator of cardiovascular disease. Eggs and red meat are the primary sources.  Three eggs or 10 cups of cooked brocolli a day.  Low vitamin D is a common denominator of autoimmune disease.  Is it a contributing factor or a result? I think that low vitamin D is maybe the main contributing factor.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. I would like to point out the many diagnosed with Celiac Disease went through several misdiagnoses, like gall bladder disease, and were repeatedly tested negative and then one day tested positive. Regardless of your diagnosis, you should avoid gluten, you mention it in your first post : "When I eat gluten I get a lot of mucus with my stool and most of the times it’s quite thin. As soon as I take gluten away from my diet my stool becomes normal". It can take six months to several years to heal completely.  How long I believe is directly related to how quickly you identify deficiencies and correct. Essential to my recovery:  Thiamine, 10,000 IU vitamin D3 a day, maintaining 25(OH)D at 80 ng/dl (200 nmole/L), 600 mcg Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline.  And of course: Gluten Free.

      Not all of King Arthur’s gluten free flours and baking mixes are certified gluten free. This bread flour is not.

      Bump up your thiamine dose!  You can take more if you don't feel anything after the first one.  Must needs getting to that 500mg. We need more thiamine when we're fighting an infection.  Zinc will help fight infections, too, as well as Vitamin C. They all work together. Hope you feel better!

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @MagsM, I had Meniere's.  Meniere's is caused by deficiencies in Thiamine, Niacin, and Vitamin D.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption which affects all the essential vitamins and minerals. The B vitamins work in concert together like an orchestra.  Having a Folate deficiency suggests other B vitamin deficiencies as well.  Folate needs Pyridoxine B6 and Thiamine B1 to work properly with Cobalamine B12.  Doctors are not required to take many courses in nutrition, and often don't recognize deficiency symptoms or how to correct them.  Blood tests are not an accurate measurement of vitamin deficiencies inside cells.  Low iron correction requires copper and zinc as well as Thiamine and Riboflavin.    Yes, anemia can affect the production of antibodies and cause false negatives on tests for Celiac.  Diabetes and Thiamine deficiency can also cause false negatives.  An endoscopy with biopsy would be a more accurate method of diagnosis for you.   I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I wanted to know what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  Vitamins are chemical compounds that the body cannot make, so we must get them from food and supplements.  After a few vertigo episodes and suddenly going deaf for a while, I researched and found that supplementing with  Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide), Niacin and Vitamin D resolved the issue.   Please ask your nutritionist for further vitamin deficiency tests.  A B Complex, TTFD, Vitamin D should help you recover quickly.   Keep us posted on your progress!
