Try making some broth from chicken or beef or just have the liquid from homemade soup. I had to fast once for almost 72 hours and I just had jello and water. I didn't really mind it actually, after awhile I didn't really feel hungrey anymore. I did feel like a lost a lot of weight, but I recuperated.

Yogurt, applesauce, jello, pudding, I had anything that would "slide" pass my teeth!

(Shrugs shoulders) I was on pain meds, so I was good! I was more uncomfortable a week later, like cavity pain, because I was out of pain meds. By the way, this was before I was gluten-free, so you want to make sure you meds are gluten-free! But the pain wasn't even memorable.

You might also try making your own smoothies. Depending on what you put in there, they can be extremely healthy, or not. I usually use frozen strawberries and vanilla soy milk. If you wanted you could probably use ice cream instead of milk.

Good luck! I hope you have a very swift recovery.

It's not the pain so much as you can't chew or suck for a while (because you have big holes in your gums). I'd vote for smoothies (get recipes that have both fruits and veggies), and add protein powders and fats (particularly coconut milk).

On the smoothie idea... use a Boost in your smoothie. My favorite recipe:

Frozen banana

Frozen strawberries

Plain yoghurt

One chocolate boost

I remember making a lot of chocolate milk shakes when I had mine out... and that shot of Khalua sure helped take the pain away :P

Seriously, plan on soups, pudding, yogurt, maybe eggs?

Good Idea.. I will try out those smoothies, applesauce, yogurt, and possibly mashed potatoes.I don't know why I am so scared of this surgery, I guess its since Im going to be awake its scary three of them are in so hopefully it will run smoothly. Thank you for the suggestions.. and do you think the numbing stuff is alright?

You can also cook some white rice in chicken broth until it starts to fall apart and adding some finely diced carrot and onion would give it a little more flavour.

I didn't have any problem eating after. I just couldn't have really hard or chewy stuff like apples and had to be careful with things being too hot or cold. I could still chew at the front so I still got my steak. I had big holes for a while where the teeth were and stitches. It was more my jaw was sore than my gums since they knocked me out and pulled all four at once (causing all kinds of problems with TMJ later which apparently you don't get when when your the one holding your mouth open as oposed to them opening it while your out) Trust me your better off being awake.

Do they have gluten free protien powder? adding it to your smoothies will boost the calories.

I was fully out, and they had my mouth cranked open, and it was a bit sore, but not too bad. (They had to do it that way - some of the roots were dangerously close to the nerves, and the surgery was a bit risky on its own, and there was the possibility that the teeth would have to be cracked in half before being removed.) Do make sure that the oral surgeon you are seeing has a good history of experience behind him/her to reduce the risk of effects after the fact. It's not risk free, but there is a lot that they can do to significantly reduce the risk.

Are they impacted? That'll make a big difference too. I was eating pretty quickly, and they told me to eat normally as soon as possible because you'll heal better. But things like bread crusts were painful for a few days. Creamy soups, shakes, yogurt that sort of thing is easy, soft fruits good too.

Then run it through the blender.

The pain isn't too bad (not as bad as my jaw surgery was; which I did sans pain meds). Strong pain meds (anything stronger that 1 tylanol a week) cause me to have heard attacks, so I only took one pain pill (which caused a heart attack-no more pain meds for me!). I did fine without the pain meds. It was more a feeling of discomfort than pain.

For the first day or too, I ate lots of soup, yougart, and smoothies. After that, I added other soft foods like mashed potatoes and overcooked pasta (gluten-free of course :D ).

This sounds good -- What kind of yoghurt do you use?

I just had all four of my wisdom teeth out a few months ago. Three of them were impacted. I was extreamly scared before I went in for the surgery because I knew I would be awake. However, I didn't remember the surgery at all. Make sure you take your pain drugs as often as allowed. I found that if you waited till the pain started to get worse it was to late.....stay ontop of it. I was a little groggy the first day but was able to even go to the hospital were my daughter was that evening. I ate tons of mashed potatoes, apple sauce, and pudding. You like boast but I drank strawberry carnation breakfast start. I wouldn't suggust eating things with rice or anything that isn't a baby food consistancy for at least a few days if not even a week. I found the little food particles especially rice would get stuck in the holes left from my teeth be extracted and it was very difficult to get them out. It was hard for me to open my mouth much more than enough to get a straw or the tip of a spoon in my mouth the first couple of days. Good luck with your surgery and I hope everything goes well.

Not all people have problems when they have their wisdom teeth pulled. when i had my 4 teeth pulled 30 yrs ago i ate normal. some people a hard time getting them cause the teeth can be raped around the bone. i was lucky. but now days with great pain med. you can feel no pain and still eat.

Red lentil soups can cook into a nice, puree-able and nourishing thing. I'm also a big fan of cold buttermilk soups for summer, but that's not necessarily to everyone's taste.

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
