<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I am a Dental Laboratory Technician of 23yrs. I find it very sad that Dentists have approximately two paragraphs in their college books on celiac disease. When I first found out I had celiac, one of the first people I sat down and talked to was my dentist. Not only were questions answered pertaining to my health, but my children's as well. It took us about a month to dig up more information on oral health - in doing so we collected a few more dentist asking questions. The happiest day was when I received a phone call stating that because of the information I had given the Drs. they were finally able to help one of their patients - she suffered with horrible mouth lesions for three years - yup, celiac. Dentists can be one of our most helpful doctors in diagnosing this disease.... did you know that grinding your teeth can be a symptom of food intolerance.... mouth lesions, cancer sores, discoloration of enamel, .... all of these things "can be" caused by gluten intolerance. There are other things that will cause these problems also. With my family, just about all of our oral problems could have helped us to diagnose celiac quicker. Had to put my 2cents in............. thanks Martha in NH
