Question by MaluLanix0x: Does a gluten intolerance/celiac disease cause soft, white spots on teeth? Do they go away after a GF diet?
Okay… would somebody with a gluten intolerance or Celiac disease have white, soft, sticky spots on their teeth despite diligent oral hygiene? After being on a gluten free diet, would these spots on the teeth go away?
Best answer:
Answer by Debb
I have a gluten intolerance and I have never had the spots. I would check with a doc.

Answer by ChattyK
There are books on it, so I wouldn’t want to give you false information as, for example oats may be in the wheat family. Then, you will have to look at labels as wheat is used as a thickener, either that or corn starch. Elizabeth Hasselbeck has just written a book, which is probably derivative, but easy to order from the library. Also, there will be sites on line. I won’t search, as there are too many viruses, and my new security software is really annoying me. So, check via search engine. Or, go back and ask the doctor for a printout. I remember, my neighbors son was diagnosed with wheat allergy, and he is now a professor, so I guess, it doesn’t ruin one’s life.

Question by gopherr: If I went off a gluten free diet and kept my mouth shut, could I join the military with celiac disease?
I just got diagnosed. It’s basically a wheat/barley/rye intolerance. This makes it so there’s a very good chance I couldn’t serve in the military. However, though it’s probably not the smartest thing to do, could I just avoid mentioning it and get in? Probably a stupid question >.>
bkc99xx – Ahh..good point. That isn’t the best thing to hear but probably necessary. Kind of a wake up call. Thanks.

Answer by Rodger
Yep… most definitely a stupid question.
Was this diagnosed by a medical doctor? If so then it is in your medical records and you are required to disclose it. Since it is a DQ issue… you can’t serve.
Do you have any idea how often glutens are used in food? It would be nearly impossible to eat in any chow hall, let alone MREs with celiac disease

www.hacres.com Gluten is a protein that for many people, simply cannot be tolerated in their diet. In fact, almost 1 in every 133 has some type of gluten intolerance. HATV’s Melody Hord takes a look at this condition, and one in particular, Cileac Disease. She talks to one young lady in particular, who went from a normal high school teenager with no dietary issues, to a young woman with a two year struggle for a diagnosis to her debilitating problem. http

As a Celiac, Are You Comfortable With Your Gluten Free Diet?
Posted by: | CommentsQuestion by celiac: As a celiac, are you comfortable with your gluten free diet?
If you are a busy mom with 9-5 job plus additional responsibilities; sometimes it is very hard to find gf food on the run. You may have to carry homemade dish with you all the time…It can be also very much frustrating to explain to the waiter while everybody else is waiting to order.

Answer by Anama
Hi, I am fine with it now that I pretty much know what I am doing. You can always order a salad w/o croutons and bring those Kraft packets with safe salad dressing in them as a safe meal. There is also a gf guide to eating out that I carry so it makes it easy if you go to any of the big food chains. Go here (I got mine from the gf mall on celiac.com)
http://www.triumphdining.com/
and then there is this:

and this to help:

As for lunches, I eat a lot of Thai Kitchen, Taste of Thai, Amy’s and Annie’s frozen stuff, or just a salad with egg or some meat left over from dinner (I eat fish, eggs, chicken only though) when I need something quickly. Otherwise it is just bread from this bakery as a sandwich:

EVERYTHING from here is awesome and worth every penny. You will get addicted, just to warn you…..
Hope this helps and hang in there. I promise it WILL get easier. The better you feel the more you will want to stick with the diet, I promise!
Happy Healing and welcome to the club!

Question by lovenluck: Recently diagnosed with celiac disease and now on gluten free diet everything I buy thats gluten free tastes a?
awefull I was wondering if anyone else that has to be on this type of diet could tell me of some food products that actually taste really good. I dont like fish or rice.

Answer by Anama
Hi, congrats on your diagnosis! You can now begin to heal and get well!
If you like a lot of processed foods, this is going to be a huge change for you, so I am sorry for that, but simply put, most celiacs eat fresh foods. They taste better and you can know that they are all gluten free.
If that is simply unrealistic, then there are also plenty of mainstream foods that are gf. I don’t know what country you are in, but in the US it is getting pretty good.
You need this shopping guide (or the clan thompson):
http://www.celiac.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=802
it has most of the gf foods (you have to add and delete often, so you still have to check labels) organized in a really easy to find manner, once you get the hang of it.
Some companies list their products gluten status. Frito Lay, Budding meats, Jimmy Dean products, Snapple, Jennie O, Hillshire farms, Mt. Olive, Kraft,Burt’s Bees,.. the list goes on and on all have gluten information on their websites.
As for specific gf products, I like tinkyada brown rice pasta, it hold together really well and tastes just like wheat pasta, anything by Glutino is pretty good,especially the pretzels. Mi Del has great cookies, but there are a bunch that make great cookies!
Bob’s Red Mill products are just awesome, they also have cert. gf OATS, and I think I like their gf pizza crust as much as enerG.
http://www.bobsredmill.com/home.php
The gf pantry makes a mean cornbread mix, as well as a great gingerbread cake mix.
There really is so much out there, you just need to be patient with yourself and try different products.
Here are some links that I think will be really helpful!:
