Gluten Challenge & Wisdom Teeth

Hi, I'm currently completing a gluten challenge and will probably be getting a celiac panel done in a few weeks. However, in the meantime, I have to get my wisdom teeth removed. While recovering, I probably won't be eating much (or anything) with gluten in it, because first I'll be having liquids, then soft things like milkshakes and pudding, etc. So my question is - if I don't have gluten for, say, 3 days during a gluten challenge, is that going to affect blood test results? Or perhaps there is a way to incorporate gluten somehow?

You could eat glutenous soups. Lots of soups are thickened with flour. Or you could make smoothies and put wheat protein powder in them. Open Original Shared Link

Toast with butter or just a little bit of peanut butter will work and be soft--just don't toast until crispy.

Another idea if you don't want to invest in wheat protein powder is to blend cold cooked cream of wheat into smoothies. :)

What about noodles in broth?

If you're having milkshakes you can always make them with cookies in them. Either by buying ice cream with cookies or just adding cookies. Also adding nilla wafers to the bottom of a bowl of pudding and letting it set long enough for them to get soft could work too. Barley soup would be good while you're still on liquids. The barley pearls are small enough to swallow whole so it doesn't matter that it's not technically completely a liquid. Or you could just puree it. I also like mac & cheese as a soft food after dental work.

Milkshakes with cookies and cream of wheat are good ideas.  When I had my wisdom teeth out, I got cups of easy mac and cooked them with extra water, chopped the noodles up with my fork, and slurped it down, haha.  I also got peach cobbler and mac and cheese baby food... you should be able to find some gluteny baby food, the ones for older babies that have kind of chunks in them actually aren't that bad.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Bitters for digestion?

      By AnnaNZ · Posted

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.

      Is this celiac?

      By Hmart · Posted

      I was not taking any medications previous to this. I was a healthy 49 yo with some mild stomach discomfort. I noticed the onset of tinnitus earlier this year and I had Covid at the end of June. My first ‘flare-up’ with these symptoms was in August and I was eating gluten like normal. I had another flare-up in September and then got an upper endo at the end of September that showed possible celiac. My blood test came a week later. While I didn’t stop eating gluten before I had the blood test, I had cut back on food and gluten both. I had a flare-up with this symptoms after one week of gluten free but wasn’t being crazy careful. Then I had another flare-up this week. I think it might have been caused by Trader Joe’s baked tofu which I didn’t realize had wheat. But I don’t know if these flare-ups are caused by gluten or if there’s something else going on. I am food journaling and tracking all symptoms. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 10 days.

      Welcome to the forum, @Hmart! There are other medical conditions besides celiac disease that can cause villous atrophy as well as some medications and for some people, the dairy protein casein. So, your question is a valid one. Especially in view of the fact that your antibody testing was negative, though there are also some seronegative celiacs. So, do you get reactions every time you consume gluten? If you were to purposely consume a slice of bread would you be certain to develop the symptoms you describe?
