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.

Thank you all for the suggestions the surgery went well, and they are recovering pretty good I was able to eat a milk shake a few hours after with no problem and lost no weight I was able to eat scramble eggs and applesauce the next few mornings I am relieved to be done with it!

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @McKinleyWY, For a genetic test, you don't have to eat gluten, but this will only show if you have the genes necessary for the development of Celiac disease.  It will not show if you have active Celiac disease.   Eating gluten stimulates the production of antibodies against gluten which mistakenly attack our own bodies.  The antibodies are produced in the small intestines.  Three grams of gluten are enough to make you feel sick and ramp up anti-gluten antibody production and inflammation for two years afterwards.  However, TEN grams of gluten or more per day for two weeks is required to stimulate anti-gluten antibodies' production enough so that the anti-gluten antibodies move out of the intestines and into the bloodstream where they can be measured in blood tests.  This level of anti-gluten antibodies also causes measurable damage to the lining of the intestines as seen on biopsy samples taken during an endoscopy (the "gold standard" of Celiac diagnosis).   Since you have been experimenting with whole wheat bread in the past year or so, possibly getting cross contaminated in a mixed household, and your immune system is still so sensitized to gluten consumption, you may want to go ahead with the gluten challenge.   It can take two years absolutely gluten free for the immune system to quit reacting to gluten exposure.   Avoiding gluten most if the time, but then experimenting with whole wheat bread is a great way to keep your body in a state of inflammation and illness.  A diagnosis would help you stop playing Russian roulette with your and your children's health.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @McKinleyWY! There currently is no testing for celiac disease that does not require you to have been consuming generous amounts of gluten (at least 10g daily, about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks and, to be certain of accurate testing, longer than that. This applies to both phases of testing, the blood antibody tests and the endoscopy with biopsy.  There is the option of genetic testing to see if you have one or both of the two genes known to provide the potential to develop celiac disease. It is not really a diagnostic measure, however, as 30-40% of the general population has one or both of these genes whereas only about 1% of the general population actually develops celiac disease. But genetic testing is valuable as a rule out measure. If you don't have either of the genes, it is highly unlikely that you can have celiac disease. Having said all that, even if you don't have celiac disease you can have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms as celiac disease but does not involve and autoimmune reaction that damages the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. Both conditions call for the complete elimination of gluten from the diet. I hope this brings some clarity to your questions.

      Accuracy of testing concerns

      Hello all, I was diagnosed at the age of 2 as being allergic to yeast.  All my life I have avoided bread and most products containing enriched flour as they  contain yeast (when making the man made vitamins to add back in to the flour).  Within the last year or so, we discovered that even whole wheat products bother me but strangely enough I can eat gluten free bread with yeast and have no reactions.  Obviously, we have come to believe the issue is gluten not yeast.  Times continues to reinforce this as we are transitioning to a gluten free home and family.  I become quite ill when I consume even the smallest amount of gluten. How will my not having consumed breads/yeast/gluten for the better part of decades impact a biopsy or blood work?  I would love to know if it is a gluten intolerance or a genetic issue for family members but unsure of the results given my history of limited gluten intake.   I appreciate the input from those who have gone before me in experience and knowledge. Thank you all!

      A little about me and my celiac disease

      By trents · Posted

      I know what you mean. When I get glutened I have severe gut cramps and throw up for 2-3 hr. and then have diarrhea for another several hours. Avoid eating out if at all possible. It is the number one source of gluten contamination for us celiacs. When you are forced to eat out at a new restaurant that you are not sure is safe, try to order things that you can be sure will not get cross contaminated like a boiled egg, baked potatos, steamed vegies, fresh fruit. Yes, I know that doesn't sound as appetizing as pizza or a burger and fries but your health is at stake. I also realize that as a 14 year old you don't have a lot of control over where you eat out because you are tagging along with others or adults are paying for it. Do you have support from your parents concerning your need to eat gluten free? Do you believe they have a good understanding of the many places gluten can show up in the food supply?
