Teeth Grinding?

Did any of your children have teeth grinding with celiac? Just adding this to my many list of celiac symptoms my daughter has if it is.

I don't think it's necessarily related to celiac, but kids are awful about it. My daughter only has 5 teeth and she grinds them!

Hi there. My son (12) was just diagnosed with celiac. He grinds his teeth so badly that I'm surprised he has any teeth :D If he sleeps in the same room as us, it is not a very restful night. Is that a celiac symptom?? I've never heard that one before, but there are new things that I am learning about celiac on a daily basis (everytime I'm on this board almost :) )

Oh, I can not tell you how much teeth grinding bothers me! Nails down a chalkboard, not a problem. Going in to kiss my 6 year old goodnight and finding him grinding away a big problem! lol

Seriously, is this an actual symptom? Oddly, my middle son and suspected celiac does not do this at all, it is only my oldest son. Apparently though my DH reports I have done this in my sleep too. Ooops!

I don't know if it is a symptom or not. I just read under the sleep forum that a lot of people have this. Whether it is just a common enough problem or related to celiac, I am not sure. I have heard though that people who are under stress (physical or emotional) will grind their teeth.

My daughter, age 6, is just now beginning the testing phase. She has been short stature for quite awhile and has fallen off of her own curve again. She is not even on the charts. At the age of almost 4, one of the antibodies was high for celiac and one was low, though I have read that antibodies are not a good predictor of celiac in children under 5. She also has shown up with a mysterious rash (doctors call it perplexing), which I believe is DH. We see a pediatric dermatologist next Tuesday. On top of everything else, she has always been a poor sleeper and a teeth grinder and just wanted to know if it was of any significance.

What does the rash look like? I know of a few people who have had diagnosis of mastocytosis with perplexing rashes but I am far from an expert in that field. It goes hand in hand with foods the children seem to react to.

I looked at the mastocytosis pictures and no nothing like that at all, but thanks for putting your thinking cap on. Her rash looks like poison ivy, chickenpox, and scabies all combined (though all individually have been ruled out). It is fluid filled like chickenpox, but clustered (ankles, stomach, face, armpits, inside of elbows, wrists and buttocks.) It started out around ankles 15 days ago, spread to stomach 2 days later, remained stable until 5 days ago and then starting spreading like wildfire. After an antibiotic (which cleared up a secondary bacterial infection from itching) and a steroid cream, it has somewhat slowed down, though she still appeared with a few more spots on her fingers today. Grandma has Sjogrens and rheumatoid arthritis, grandpa has diabetes mellitus Type 2. Grandma's siblings and father all died of esophageal or stomach cancers.

Hello, i'm new but this might sound like something my daughter had. My daughter had a rare rash called mulluscum contagiosum. A couple of questions does it have a white spot? Does you daughter sratch them and they pop and others appear in other places? what kind of medication is she on? is her skin extreamly dry after it heals from the rash?

look it up it might be what she has

I have celiac and grind my teeth, and my dentist said I have TMJ, but he never said what causes it. Hubby thinks I grind my teeth in my sleep due to stress, and being sick with celiac can be stressful.... :unsure: I don't know, if it's a symptom of celiac though.

I clench not grind and am gluten sensitive. My dentist said the major cause is stress. I clench more when I have a lot going on at work. Don't think it is related to gluten.

I've read somewhere that grinding can be caused by mineral deficiencies (magnesium?) which could be caused by celiac. I know stess doesn't help!

Okay, I did a little research. The deficiencies can be magnesium, calcium and B5. I've really been clenching my teeth lately and recently added the magnesium and calcim, guess I've got to get the B5 too.

      I have taken thiamine on and off (just not at this exact moment), and I’m not sure it's made any difference. Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues.

      Anyone else with very high HDL?

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Celiac Disease and Mild Chronic Gastritis

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying...

      @plumbago, I found a good PDF on cholesterol:  Unlocking the mysteries of VLDL: exploring its production, intracellular trafficking, and metabolism as therapeutic targets I just started it, but it may have answers for us, with whacky cholesterol.  The pharmaceuticals don't seem to be interested in anything but statins.   "The nicotine in tobacco causes a decrease in the HDL cholesterol level. " Maybe you should start smoking? 🤪 I have high LDL and low HDL.  It is genetic mutations in the LDLR, APOB, PCSK9, or LDLRAP1 genes. My whole family is on statins for Familial Hyperliperdemia except me.  December I had ultrasound and cat scan for Carotid Artery blockage and both sides are above 85% blockage.  I started on Atorvastatin and that made me weaker than ever, even with CoQ10.  I asked for and got prescription for 2000 mg/day Nicotinic Acid B3 and in the 3 weeks my numbers changed. I am feeling realy good lately.  Stronger and more flexible.  Sleeping better.  Getting roto router (TCar) as soon as I get clearance from a cardiologist.  I expect that by my next blood panels in April to be even better. I am beginning to believe that like vitamin D where the RDA only accounts for preventing Rickets, the RDA for B3 is way underestimated.   From Oct 22 to Jan 17: A1c from 13.5 to 10.2 eGFR from 55 to 79 Triglyeride from 458 to 362 Total cholesterol from 245 to 264 HDL from 27 to 44 VLDL from 84 to 68 LDL from 134 to 154

Yes, I almost always “fast” (12 hours NPO) for blood tests, as do a great many other Americans, so I tend to think that’s not it. All I can say is that the mystery continues. I could do some speculating here…well, heck, let me go ahead and speculate now: The lab ranges we all see on our reports are more or less the averages of Americans who have had those blood tests. Now, it’s up to you and me whether or not to think of the average American as healthy. I can make arguments both ways, more often than not, on the negative. My point here is that maybe the current range of HDL is somewhat skewed (ie, low), and maybe just maybe my super high (plus 100s) HDL results are not something to worry about; the range just needs updating. Why do I say this? Because pre-celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL values were in the normal range, but post celiac disease diagnosis, my HDL levels are way above average. See where I’m going? My trusty guidebook on celiac disease, Recognizing Celiac Disease by Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN, says that HDL increases after being on the gluten free diet. Or can increase, I guess. Then again, it could be something else. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ In thinking of going to a cardiologist, I sort of fear that he/she will be dismissive of a link to celiac disease, treated celiac disease, and would not therefore be considering all possibilities. @trents I'm sorry you've been diligently working on your numbers to no effect. That must be frustrating. LDL is a world that is far better understood than HDL, so for you there's maybe less "mystery." Familial hypercholesterolemia is for sure something that can be tested. Outside of that, you're right, genetics can determine a general pattern.
