Abscessed wisdom tooth and removal

Quite honestly this is one of the most painful things ever. And I've had two kids so I'm not being a wimp. I'm scheduled to get all my wisdom teeth removed Monday. Really freaked out. I'm wondering if meds will impact me differently because of the celiac. I used to respond well to meds, but since Sunday I've been on penicillin then switched to amoxicillin after the first wasn't working. And I've gone through four pain meds. Now on hydrocodone. It's ridiculous and it's all destroying my stomach. Any thoughts or suggestions?  No horror stories please.

The penicillin not working is just because the bacteria that is causing an infection isn't killed by that particular antibiotic.  That should have nothing to do with Celiac. 

 

When your gut has healed from Celiac, you should be absorbing medications better.  Maybe this is just a really painful and nasty infection?

I had my impacted wisdom teeth taken out years ago and it went well.  I recovered fast.  I recall drinking lots of milkshakes and smoothies!  

An abcess is painful!  Hang in there!  If you are concerned about the antibotic absorbing, you could get a shot!  That is what they gave us in the old days.  But you should be healed at this point  from celiac disease unless you were recently glutened.  

Try a heating pad and rinsing often with salt water (if the infection is close to the surface).  In any case, both might make you "feel" better.  

Karen is right.  It could be a really nasty bacteria.   Give it some more time. ?

I have no wisdom about the celiac effect but wanted to sympathise. I had an abscess last year and I was on codeine, tramadol and voltaren while waiting for antibiotics to kick in and a dental appointment and MAN do I agree with you. It was the worst pain ever and childbirth doesnt even come close to that kind of intensity. I actually considered stepping in front of a train at one point.   

 

On the plus side the moment they opened and drained the abscess the pain was 100% gone.  I actually cried from relief.  The dentist gave me more tramadol to take home but I didnt need it.  Good luck.

I'm finally in the mend. Abscess, then four wisdom teeth out then dry sockets then stomach flu. April was awesome. But I survived!

      Hey Julie! I was in a similar situation before my biopsy and my gastro said Tylenol was fine. Just avoid ibuprofen or anything anti-inflammatory until you're cleared. Hope your surgery goes smoothly!

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.
