Receding Gums And Vitamins

Anyone have a problem with taking vitamins and it affecting their gums? I notice when I start taking vitamins my gums get sensitive. Not all over but just on a couple of teeth where my gums are receding. I am not good at taking my vitamins daily and twice now I have noticed after starting up again my gums become sensitive, but once I stop they are fine.

No. But I just found out that I do get gum and tooth pain when I eat gluten. The same type of pain that my hands and feet get, pulsing or in waves (not evenly spaced) and varying from dull to sharp and can stop or start seemingly randomly. It's got to be neuropathy in me. My gums are in pretty good shape.

Which vitamins are you taking? I thought I may have been overdoing it on B6 for awhile because of my nerve pain. Also, have you actually tested low in the vitamins you're taking? Are your vitamins guaranteed gluten/other allergies you might have, free? Are they chewable or swallowed...I'd guess that chewable ones might irritate poor gums much like candy might.

I take Natures Made vitamin D and Calcium. It says gluten-free on the bottle. Both are pills and I just take them with water.

      @Scott Adams Thank you so much for this thoughtful and encouraging reply 💛 It really helps me feel less alone navigating all of this! I’ve definitely been strict gluten-free, but I’ll admit — in the beginning, I honestly knew nothing about cross-contamination 😅 so it’s very possible my gut is still healing from that. I feel very abnormal because I am not a typical celiac or a typical Crohn's, so it makes me feel very stuck.

      Hi still the same unfortunately, they had to cancel my colonoscopy due to my trapped nerve , I'm awaiting some kind of scan , it was the nurses who  told me to refuse and asked a docter , and I was told to cancel and go back to my consultant , I think because my sciatic nerve is compressed between my herniated discs , the prep was enough I could handle , but the colonoscopy itself , they advised me to seek something different ,due to the position I had to be in and the movements , so I will update Wen I know more , thankyou for asking appreciated 🤗

      It sounds like you're navigating a complex situation with your celiac disease, and it’s understandable to feel confused by the GI world! While celiac disease typically affects the duodenum and proximal small intestine, it’s possible for inflammation to extend to the ileum, especially in cases of more severe or longstanding damage. Since your tTG-IgA remains elevated despite a strict gluten-free diet, this could indicate ongoing healing or subtle gluten exposure. The ileal inflammation might still be related to celiac, though it’s good your doctor is ruling out other conditions like Crohn’s, given the nonspecific biopsy findings. Some people with celiac do report ileal involvement, particularly if...

      hi, how are u now? any answers?
    • mermaidluver22
      I have biopsy-confirmed celiac disease and have been strictly gluten-free, but my tTG-IgA is still elevated, so I know I'm still healing. I recently had a capsule endoscopy that showed small erosions and inflammation only in the distal ileum — nothing in the upper small intestine. My GI isn’t calling it Crohn’s yet because biopsies showed only mild, non-specific inflammation with no chronic features. Has anyone experienced celiac impacting their ileum as well? the gi world is so confusing! thank u ❤️
