<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi everyone, I received 20+ responses from other list members who also have periodontal problems ranging in age from their 20's on up. No one had any real concrete connection between celiac and periodontal problems, however, most people felt that the problems were related thru the poor absorption of vitamins and calcium from untreated/undiagnosed celiac disease. Our periodontist was very interested in what we had to say and felt that there was no doubt that celiac could be the contributing factor in my husband's periodontal problems. Some people had pretty good luck with gum surgery and meticulous home care. Others had tried brushing with hydrogen peroxide and got good results. Another person mentioned a new antibiotic injection treatment at the site of the problem that they had seen on tv recently. Some others mentioned taking vitamin C, calcium, Tri-Boron (which helps the body absorb the calcium), and vitamin E (both taking it and also breaking a gelcap open and rubbing it on the gums). Several others suggested the Oral B Plaque Remover which we already have and use. As it turns out, the periodontist suggested that my husband have the new antibiotic therapy and we are going to give it a try if the antibiotic is GF. Hopefully that and the GF diet and good home care will take care of the problem. Thank you to everyone who responded to my inquiry. We really appreciate your input. Barbara in Illinois
