Whether you’ve given up gluten because you’re one of the 300,000 Americans with celiac disease, suffer from gluten sensitivity, or eliminated gluten from your diet for other reasons, you’ve no doubt come to learn that it’s incredibly difficult to avoid. Not only is it tucked away in everything from ice cream to hot dogs, but it’s in things you use every day, like medications, beauty products, and, yes, often toothpaste.
That’s a serious issue because hidden gluten is often a reason why around 30% of people with celiac disease experience symptoms even after they’ve eliminated gluten from their diets. Issues arising from continued exposure to gluten for those with celiac disease are wide-ranging and include things like bloating, pain, brain fog, rashes, and headaches as well as long-term problems like osteoporosis, nerve damage, infertility, and seizures.
Celiac Disease Impacts Oral Health Too
Delayed Dental Development: Because people with celiac disease have difficulty absorbing nutrients in their diet, they’re prone to low bone mineral density which impacts how the teeth and jaw forms in young celiac patients.
Enamel Defects: Enamel is impacted in much the same way, which often results in discolorations as well as increased sensitivity and oral health issues.
Canker Sores: Although severity of outbreaks tend to diminish when a gluten-free diet is adopted, painful canker sores are common.
Dry Mouth: People with celiac disease often report having dry mouth, but what really changes is the quality of saliva, not the flow.
Cavities: Structural defects are a large component of the increased decay risk, but the dry mouth component often causes people to reach for sugary things for relief, further compounding the problem.
