Abscessed wisdom tooth and removal


Stacy0w

Recommended Posts

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?

remember a probiotic!

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!

Happy to hear that!:)

      @Scott Adams That's actually exactly what I ended up asking for— vodka tonic with Titos.  I saw on their website that Tito's is certified gluten-free (maybe many of the clear vodkas are, I don't know, I just happened to look up Tito's in advance). I should have actually specified the 'splash' though, because I think with the amount of tonic she put in there, it did still end up fairly sweet.  Anyway, I think I've almost got this drink order down!

      Be interesting to see the effects of dairy reintroduction with gluten. As well as milk protein sensitivity in and of itself the casein part particularly has been shown to mimic gluten in about 50% of celiacs. Keep us posted!

      She has been dairy free for six years, so she’d already been dairy free for two years at her last testing and was dairy free for the entire gluten challenge this year as well (that had positive results). However, now that we’re doing another biopsy in six weeks, we decided to do everything we can to try to “see” the effects, so we decided this past week to add back in dairy temporarily for breakfast (milk and cereal combo like you said).

      Hi Christiana, Many thanks for your response.  Interestingly, I too cannot eat wheat in France without feeling effects (much less than in the US, but won't indulge nonetheless).  I also understand children are screened for celiac in Italy prior to starting their education. Wise idea as it seems my grandson has the beginning symptoms (several celiacs in his dad's family), but parents continue to think he's just being difficult.  Argh.  There's a test I took that diagnosed gluten sensitivity in 2014 via Entero Labs, and am planning on having done again.  Truth be told, I'm hoping it's the bromine/additives/preservatives as I miss breads and pastas terribly when home here in the states!  Be well and here's to our guts healing ❤️

      Lol that’s so true! Hope you get clarity, it’s tough when there’s doubt. There’s so much known about celiac disease with all the scientific research that’s been done so far yet practically and clinically there’s also so much unknown, still. Out of curiosity what’s her dairy consumption like? Even compared to early years to now? Has that changed? Calcium is dependent in the mechanism of antigen presenting cells in the gut. High calcium foods with gluten grains can initiate inflammation greater.  This is why breakfast cereals and milk combo long term can be a ticking time bomb for genetically susceptible celiacs (not a scientific statement by any means but my current personal opinion based on reasoning at present). Milk and wheat are the top culprits for food sensitivity. Especially in childhood. There are also patient cases of antibodies normalising in celiac children who had milk protein intolerance/ delayed type allergy. Some asymptomatic. There were a couple of cases of suspected celiacs that turned out to have milk protein intolerance that normalised antibodies on a gluten containing diet. Then there were others that only normalised antibodies once gluten and milk was eliminated. Milk kept the antibodies positive. Celiac disease is complicated to say the least.
