  11. You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek...
  12. This is an older article, but still helpful:
  13. Eating grains typically depletes certain B vitamins, so I'm not sure why they decided to fortify with calcium and iron, but hopefully we'll see more B vitamin fortification in gluten-free products going forward.
  14. In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...
  15. Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...
  16. In the USA only wheat-based breads are fortified with certain vitamins, but not gluten-free breads, thus we typically encourage celiacs to take multivitamin supplements.
  17. @Dorothy O. Your story is incredibly powerful, and it highlights something that still happens far too often—family members of people with celiac disease aren’t always told that they should be tested, even though first-degree relatives have up to a 1 in 10 chance of having it. It’s heartbreaking that you went so many decades without a diagnosis, especially given...
  18. It’s actually very common for doctors to order both an endoscopy with biopsies and additional imaging like a CT scan with contrast, depending on your symptoms. The endoscopy with biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease because it allows doctors to directly examine the small intestine and check for villous atrophy. A CT scan, however, doesn’t...

  22. I had the same thing happen to me at around your age, and to this day it's the most painful experience I've ever had. For me it was the right side of my head, above my ear, running from my nerves in my neck. For years before my outbreak I felt a tingling sensation shooting along the exact nerves that ended up exactly where the shingles blisters appeared....
