Hi Jess,

I go to Tremont Dental Care in the South End:

Open Original Shared Link

I've been going to them for years, and they're great - very thorough, and very conservative (i.e. they won't suggest dental work that you don't need). I was diagnosed about six months ago, and e-mailed them before my cleaning to make sure they understood that everything needed to be gluten free.

Ask them to use "pumice flour" and non-oat-flour-coated latex gloves during your appointment. Also suggest that they use Glide dental floss (it's gluten-free). They know this from working with me, but it's been a while, so I'm sure they'd appreciate the reminder.

The technician sat with me for about ten minutes the last time I was there, asking me lots of questions about celiac disease. She got right away that some of the patients she was seeing with persistent dental issues might actually have celiac disease!

Good luck!

Hi Jess,

Sorry I don't leave in Boston. But I do work for a Dentist in Maryland. Everyone in the office understands what I am going through. They recently got me gluten free prophy paste, which is the tooth paste your doctor or hygentist uses. They can get it from any dental supplier they use. If they won't, they could use pumice, that is used in every dental office.

Flouride treatments also can be ordered gluten free now, but it is not necessary for adult to have this unless there is a problem, so just don't allow them to give you any flouride treatment.

The only other thing I avoid is topical anesthisia. You just have to tough it up and allow the dentist to give you injections without it.

I suggest you find a dentist that is a good doctor and that you like, then hopefully he will listen.

Good Luck,

Susan

PS-still checking on Listerine

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      This was my main symptom. I still get it from time to time. Also feels like a burning pain on the upper abdomen. I think the wine could definitely cause the pain to be worse. There are do many things I still can't eat.

      Intolerance after eating certified pasta gluten free could be caused by additives & or stabilaiser added in the composition of the pasta ingredients, even in the best brands please ceck well before buyng & eating

      By trents · Posted

      Yes and this is true of gluten free ready made, processed and prepackaged foods in general. In particular, hard to digest polysaccharides are commonly used in these products that give many celiacs issues and I personally don't handle some emulsifiers well. IMO, reactions to these ingredients are often mistaken for a gluten reaction.

      Intolerance to certified gluten-free pasta may be due to additives or stabilizers included in the pasta's ingredients, even among the top brands. It's important to check thoroughly before purchasing and consuming; you can find the actual ingredients listed in the detailed component descriptions on Amazon.

      Thank you for this information and your post. I have tried just about every diet there is. I have been experimenting with diet for years and years. I am a vegan, so the diet you mentioned is not an option. Fasting always works for me. Probably because I am detoxing and not feeding candida or parasites. Meat eaters have a higher prevalence of parasites, just so you know. I have a feeling that every time I break out on probiotics it's due to some kind of war with my gut biome. I definitely need to find a system of flushing out my gut so that the probiotics don't have to fight as hard to populate.

      Sommersby cider, alcohol generally

      By bharal · Posted

      I'm unsure if sommersby cider is likely to have cross contamination issues, given its made by a beer company. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm assuming wine generally is ok, as it's bottled in a vineyard, but what about other (ostensiblygluten free) liquors?
