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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Hi Theresa,  A few of my friends have your same story. You may be right about barley, etc.  18 years ago at a football game while clapping, suddenly my 4th finger was in agony.  It looked like a vein had burst. It was blue for a couple hours, then disappeared.  Finally realized it happened every time when drinking beer.  It's occurred several times over the years when opening a jar, lifting something that was a bit heavy, holding on to tight to something.  Immediate icing stops the pain and discoloration.  Now avoiding wheat in the US, it rarely happens.  Thanks for the reminder.  Will have Entero Labs run another test. Unfortunately they've relocated to Switzerland/Greece.

      Blood results

      By Russ H · Posted

      The EMA test is an old and less sensitive test for anti-tTG2 antibodies. It relies on a technician using a microscope to check for fluorescence of a labelled substrate (typically monkey oesophagus or human umbilicus), giving a simple positive/negative result. It is similar to running a standard anti-tTG2 test but with a high cut-off, making it more specific but less sensitive. Transient rises in tTG2 can be caused by e.g. viral infections and inflammation. Very high levels of anti-tTG2 (>x10 standard range) are almost certainly coeliac disease but moderately raised levels can have several causes apart from coeliac disease. Other food allergies can cause villi blunting but that is much rarer than coeliac disease or other non-coeliac causes. Not All That Flattens Villi Is Celiac Disease: A Review of Enteropathies

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.
