Welcome to the forum community, @Jane07! The problem you describe is very common in the celiac community.

Our teeth are something that we cannot make stronger. Once we get our adult teeth the goal is to slow their deterioration as much as possible but they can never be made stronger after they first come in. Unattended celiac disease wreaks havoc with dental health because it speeds up calcium leaching from our bones and teeth. Once we enter earnestly into the gluten free lifestyle and our gut begins to heal such that we can once again absorb calcium and magnesium efficiently from our diet we have hopes of putting the brakes on that accelerated tooth enamel loss but we never get back what we have already lost.

Fluoride helps to re-mineralize enamel and make it more resistant to decay. Do you use fluoride toothpaste?

      Help with blood test result

      By trents · Posted

      I was wrong, however, about there being no particular health concerns associated with high total IGA: https://www.inspire.com/resources/chronic-disease/understanding-high-iga-levels-causes-impacts/ So maybe the physician's "borderline" remark is relevant to that.

      Sometimes that is the case but what is curious to me is the remark by your physician about being "borderline". I assume he was referring to the total IGA score but it just seems like an irrelevant remark when it is on the high side rather than being deficient.

      Waiting Too Long to Brush Teeth after Gluten

      By StrongerThanCeliac · Posted

      Hi,  I’ve noticed that it usually takes me about 5-6 days to recover from a glutening. I was just thinking and maybe I’m going crazy. Long story but I wasn’t able to brush my teeth for a couple days after being glutened. Is there a way the gluten could be like stuck in my teeth still and still causing some sort of reaction because I waited too long to brush? Or is that insane

      Gluten Free ADHD medications

      By cristiana · Posted

      @Gluten is bad Hi!  I just caught this post, and am writing on the off-chance that you might be based in the UK.  If so, I was told some years ago by a pharmacist that in the UK that if a medicine has a Product Licence printed on the packaging, which will appear as the letters PL plus a long number.... for example....  PL 4525908 (making that number up!) it will be gluten free.   I have just checked this on an NHS website, and indeed it appears to be true.  According to the same website, all medications prescribed by GPs in the UK are gluten free. https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/food-and-nutrition/special-diets/gluten-free-diet/#medicines The same NHS website also makes a very good point.  You might take a gluten-free medication prescribed by a GP that might set off symptoms very similar to a glutening.  Like some meds cause stomach pain or diarrhea, but that doesn't mean they contain gluten. Obviously, if you are purchasing medication from overseas, the above might not apply. Hope this is helpful, and that you can get your medication soon - I have an acquaintance who has had to wait some time. Cristiana

      I wonder if the tTG-Iga result isn't back yet as there is nothing next to that one, perhaps it takes a little longer.
