last summer my wife and I were enjoying a late August day when I felt this sensation in my right upper molar region of my mouth.  I told my wife that I should see the dentist because something was going on.   It felt like a tooth was the center of this pain and each day it seemed to get worse.  The dentist could not confirm that the pain was coming from that tooth but did Find a tooth that needed a root canal not related to the initial problem.  After finishing that tooth we came back to the tooth I swore was causing all this pain.  My dentist could not perform a root canal because of the complexity of the tooth so I has to go to a specialist.  After he had finished the root canal there was no improvement in the pain.  The pain kept getting worse and especially at night.  For weeks I had to sleep sitting up which helped with the pain.  During this time I also noticed weight loss of about 15 pounds out of nowhere. Not being heavy to start with this had me thinking celiac.   After combing the internet I found an article on celiac and face pain.  As soon as I cut out the gluten the pain started to subside.i shared my story with my dentists who were very surprised about the gluten connection. The pain was the worst I have ever experienced and I have a high tolerance.  The pain was like no other I ever experienced.   It was like an electrical shock that would not go away.  I hope this helps other people out there with similar problems to show you ,yes gluten is not your friend and can cause health problems in different ways.

Trigeminal neuralgia? 

Scott Adams Grand Master

I've never heard of an association between the type of nerve pain you describe, and celiac disease, but we've run many articles on the connection between celiac disease and enamel defects, which can be viewed below. Of course, it's possible that it was somehow related, but I've just not seen it described in any medical journals/studies.

I agree after reading some of the other responses.   Thank God I found gluten-free.

Hi Bradford

Sorry but I've taken a while to see this.

I remember reading one online article some years ago on this - basically, it said that for some coeliacs a strict gluten free diet can help resolve TN pain.   I cannot find it now, of course!  But thank you for posting - I really hope this info. can be of help to other sufferers.

      Glutening symptom? oily stool

      By ognam · Posted

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      By plumbago · Posted

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By ognam · Posted

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
