Celiac.com 03/09/2022 - Many people, and even dental professionals, are not aware that gluten can also be present in some types of oral prostheses and appliances, specifically those made with a popular acrylic resin called methyl methacrylate (MMA). Being exposed to gluten at the dentist's office is a common complaint on our celiac disease and gluten-free forum. A number of readers have asked for a list of gluten-free dental products.

Orthodontic retainers, fixed and removable dentures, temporary crowns, and denture repair material are types of products typically made with MMA. It was discovered in recent years that the non-dietary gluten found in MMA can trigger symptoms in patients with celiac disease and should be avoided. Since many companies do not label products as gluten-free, it is important to seek out products which are labeled or certified gluten-free. Consult your dental professional regarding gluten-free dental products for use by professionals.

Oh my!! I just went thru the experience (3 weeks ago) of having my upper teeth extracted and dentures put in on same day. My gums are healing well and I'm liking my new smile. But I've been sick for a while with the feeling of 'the gluten effect'. 😒 I'll be doing my homework 1st thing in the morning. Say a prayer, please.

Does Timing of Gluten-Free Diet Influence Dental Enamel Defects in Celiac Disease?
Celiac.com 08/09/2017 - There have been a number of studies showing a strong connection between celiac disease and dental enamel defects (DEDs), however, the exact relationship is still unclear.
To get a better understanding, a team of researchers recently set out to evaluate DEDs in people with celiac disease by looking at how long it took them to begin a gluten-free diet (GFD).
The research team included AM de Queiroz, J Arid, FK de Carvalho, RAB da Silva, EC Küchler, R Sawamura, LAB da Silva, and P Nelson-Filho.
They are variously affiliated with the Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of São Paulo - School of Dentistry of Ribeirão Preto, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil, and the Department of Childcare and Pediatrics, University of São Paulo School of Medicine of Ribe...

How Much Gluten Does an Average Celiac Patient Accidentally Consume?
Celiac.com 04/02/2018 - Exactly how hard is it for people with celiac disease to faithfully follow a gluten-free diet? Anyone who’s ever tried to completely avoid gluten for any length of time likely has a story to tell about accidental gluten consumption, and the consequences that follow. It’s not at all uncommon for gluten-free celiacs to be exposed to low levels of gluten that can trigger symptoms and cause persistent intestinal histologic damage.
To gain an understanding of gluten consumption across a wide population of celiac patients, a team of researchers recently set out to determine how much gluten people eat when they are trying to follow a gluten-free diet.
The team included Jack A Syage, Ciarán P Kelly, Matthew A Dickason, Angel Cebolla Ramirez, Francisco Leon,...

Periodontists Get Certified on Impact of Celiac Disease on Dental Health
Celiac.com 03/15/2019 - A number of studies have shown a correlation between dental enamel defects and the presence of celiac disease. The connection opens up a possible avenue for dentists to help diagnose celiac disease by noticing dental symptoms and making a referral for celiac evaluation. Celiac.com has done a few articles on this subject over the years.
Now, periodontal teams looking to remain on the cutting-edge of comprehensive dentistry are taking course-work on the impact of celiac disease on dental health.
One such team, board-certified periodontists, Drs. Sam Bakuri and Mark J. Weingarden of Pittsburgh, PA, recently completed a course on the impact of celiac disease and dental health with members of their team at Greater Pittsburgh Dental Implants & Periodontics....

Why You Should Ask Your Dentist About Gluten in Dental Products
Celiac.com 02/23/2022 - Anyone who knows about trying to live gluten-free with celiac disease can likely cite chapter and verse about the wide variety of products that can contain hidden gluten. The list is long, and contains numerous non-food items, like makeup and cosmetics, shampoos and conditioners, lotions, drugs, and more.
To that list, we can now add dental products, including both professional dental products and home dental products. Hidden gluten in dental products could be an issue for people with celiac disease, who need to remain gluten-free if they want to remain healthy. We know that dentists can play an important part in protecting people with celiac disease. But maybe there's even more your dentist can do to protect patients with celiac disease.

  Same here. Looking for answers. My endoscopy also showed chronic gastritis. I hope you find some answers. Let.me know if you.

  Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis
  
  Yes, when I learned of the Omeprazole side effects I stopped it immediately and experienced extreme acid rebound, but between Tums and Famodidine, I stuck it out. But I’m sure that the vitamin deficiencies I experienced were caused by taking this medication for almost a year. And could it be responsible for the blunted villi? Who knows. The endoscopy a...

  Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis
  
  Exactly my thoughts. Having blunting of the villi means you have not completely healed the small intestine. It means you still have some damage. We need normal villi to absorb nutrients properly. From what I have heard your bot supposed to take Omeprazole indefinitely as this can also cause the body not to absorb nutrients. It is interesting you had normal...

  Blunted villi almost 4 year after diagnosis
  
  Thanks again. My first endoscopy said mild blunting of the villi. The recent one said the same thing mild blunting of the villi. I went back to the GI because eventhough my symptoms had improved I am still suffering from a lot of them. I had read on this forum about people feeling great again and that never happened to me in the 4 years of gluten-free diet...

  I was diagnosed in 2004 via biopsy and had a repeat endoscopy in 2006. At that time my villi had grown back and I was fine. Most recently I’ve been having gluten symptoms but antibody blood tests were normal. I have Vitamin D, Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency’s, however, and am taking copious amounts of vitamins to fix that problem. I must admit, th...
