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.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      If you were off gluten for two months that would have been long enough to invalidate the celiac blood antibody testing. Many people make the same mistake. They experiment with the gluten free diet before seeking formal testing. Once you remove gluten from the diet the antibodies stop being produced and those that are already in circulation begin to be removed and often drop below detectable levels. To pursue valid testing for celiac disease you would need to resume gluten consumption equivalent to the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for at least two weeks, preferably longer. These are the most recent guidelines for the "gluten challenge". Without formal testing there is no way to distinguish between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity since their symptoms overlap. However, celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that damages the small bowel lining, not true of gluten sensitivity. There is no test available for gluten sensitivity so celiac disease must first be ruled out. By the way, elevated liver enzymes was what led to my celiac diagnosis almost 25 years ago.

      Then it does not seem to me that a gluten-related disorder is at the heart of your problems, unless that is, you have refractory celiac disease. But you did not answer my question about how long you had been eating gluten free before you had the blood antibody test for celiac disease done.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.
