Dental Problems?

Anyone here experience dental problems, ie. bad teeth no matter how hard you try? I brush my teeth a lot, and still, I have a holes in my teeth. I did some research and found an article that links the malabsorption of celiac disease to weakening of the enamel in teeth. Just curious if any others have experienced bad teeth and think it may be a result of celiac disease.

Thanks. :)

I had a tooth crack. It was during period when I had ribs crack on 3 different occasions. Probably due to calcium problems due to celiac disease.

I also have gum recession for as yet unknown reasons.

My older son had no less than 12 cavities on his first dentist appointment, and I am a tooth brushing Nazi. He should not have had all those cavities. At the time, the dentist told me that I gave my son too much fruit juice. :angry: What??? Candy, I would've understood (had I given him much, but everyone said I was a meany because I wouldn't let my kids have any candy.) ...but this little boy has 12 cavities from too much (100%) fruit juice!? Puh-leeze.

Yep. I was a teeth-brushing Nazi, too, and my daughter has had endless cavities. She hasn't had a checkup since dx so I'll be interested to see.

We did get her some of that Listerine that shows blue where more brushing is necessary, but they took it off the market because it wasn't safe for people with compromised immune systems. Kinda stinks because she really brushed well with that stuff.

Luke's pediatric dental specialist told me to have him swish every night with ACT for kids. It's a flouride rinse, though, not an antiseptic or anything. She said it might help build his enamel back up, which I've since heard is impossible... At the time, I didn't know enough to ask her why his enamel wasn't up to par to begin with. Now, of course I know it's from Celiac.

We tried the blue stuff at one point, but it would never show up on his teeth! I have no idea why :ph34r:

Yes i have dental problems, most of my back teeth have fillings and my front two fang teeth are becoming discoloured even though i brush regularly, i also have a hole developing in one of the teeth at the side of my front two.

p.s-

Ive not been tested for gluten intolerence but i am suspecting that is whats causeing my symptoms.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Long term recovery

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      Type 1 diabetes (4year old) and positieve ttg

      By marinke · Posted

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By Baz · Posted

      @DayaInTheSun what were the shortness of breath symptoms for you ? And did they come on all of a sudden or was it a gradual increase in said symptoms?

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      By DayaInTheSun · Posted

      I had shortness of breath so much so I went to a lung doctor. I told him I get short of breath wirh certain foods, he said “Food doesn’t affect hour breathing.” I told him maybe it was an allergy  he cut me off then said “Food allergies don’t cause shortness of breathe.” I beg to differ as soon as I figured out what foods were causing my shortness of breath it went away. I also never saw him again as he was rude, condescending? And refuse to listen to me kept dismissing my problems as “you’re young.” I cut out Soy, dairy, sesame, eggs, and of course gluten. I stopped being short of breath, going on a two years now. No thanks to the doctor I saw. Figured it out on my own.
