A few weeks ago I posted a message about having problems
with my teeth (yellowing/chipping/tartar buildup).
Thank you to all those who responded.  A few people
mentioned they too had a great amount of plaque;
some also had nail ridges.  Another person mentioned
that some people get teeth yellowing from taking anti-
biotics during the teeth-growing years.  Someone sent
me excerpts from the College of Dental Surgeons
of B.C. on Tooth Enamel Defects relating to CD.
If anyone wants a copy, let me know via email.
Another person mentioned that her dentist actually
knows when she's had an accidental dose of gluten.
Some people recommended Calcium supplements; others
recommended also Magnesium and Vitamin D.  As for my
diagnosis (or rather- lack of diagnosis), one person
mentioned that the colonoscopy that I had (which looks
at the lower intestines) would not detect CD because
CD damages the upper intestines.  I would need an
endoscopy with biopsy.  This person and others also
mentioned that the nails, anxiety, and libido would
improve on the GF diet.  A few said that my teeth would
not get better because they are fully grown.  Right now
I'm worried because the tips of my teeth in the front are
becoming transparent; one tooth in the front on the bottom
chipped off at the top. I truly hope this will improve with
the GF diet and supplements.  Let me know if any of you have
been able to reverse this symptom.  Thank you.  Someone sent me
a recipe for a delicious GF cake; if anyone would like a
copy, let me know.  Thank you to all who wrote to me; it's
a comfort to know I'm not alone.
