Please excuse my ignorance on this :lol: , but what is tmj?

Oh, soft food:

  • Yogurt
  • Smoothies
  • Soup
  • Jello
  • Applesauce
  • Pudding
  • Soft canned fruit (like mandarin oranges)
  • Grits (Arrowhead Mills has a cereal, Rice and Shine). You could make it really soupy kinda and then it would be very soft
  • Peanut butter?
  • Frozen yogurt or ice cream

I'll think of some other stuff, but this is all I can come up with right now.

The TMJ:

"TMJ" stands for temporomandibular  joint, or the jaw joint. The TMJs are the small joints in front of each ear that attach the lower  jaw (mandible) to the skull. They allow you to perform such functions as opening and closing your mouth,  chewing, speaking, swallowing, etc.

TMJ Diseases/Disorders:

TMJ diseases and disorders refer to a complex and poorly understood set of conditions,  manifested by pain the the area of the jaw and associated muscles and limitations in the ability to make the normal movements of speech, facial expression, eating, chewing, and swallowing. Conditions that routinely  affect other joints in the body, such as arthritis and trauma, also affect the TM joint.

Are you on a soft food diet forever or are you healing?

canned tuna flaked (well) and mixed with avocado - good fat content too.

you might also consider getting a hand blender so you can make pureed soups. for instance, cooking carrots in broth until they're soft and then blending into a smooth puree is tasty!

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Sounds like your doctor is not very knowledgeable about celiac disease and may not be supportive of your efforts to run this down. Unfortunately, there is still a lot of ignorance in the medical community with regard to celiac disease. He/she may not even know what tests to run. Those of us who have been on the celiac journey for sometime have come to realize we need to be our own advocate and need to be appropriately assertive in order to get proper testing done. So, when the day comes for the appointment, here are some recommended tests you should discuss with your doctor that are celiac specific: At the bare minimum, the doctor should or: 1. total IGA. This test checks for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, then next test, #2 below, will give falsely low scores and may produce a false negative. 2. tTG-IGA This is the centerpiece of celiac disease testing and is the most popular test run by doctors. If  the doc is willing, ask for these in addition: 3. DGP-IGA 4. DGP-IGG 5. tTG-IGG These five tests would constitute a fairly complete celiac panel and give fuller picture. What one test may miss another may catch. Here is an article giving an overview of celiac disease blood antibody testing, the relative sensitivities and accuracies of each test. The one test mentioned in this article I did not include in my list is the EMA which is not used often anymore. It is expensive to run and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA. One other thing to be aware of and that is if there are positives in the antibody testing, you likely would get a referral to a GI doc who may want to do an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to confirm the antibody testing results. You would needs to still be consuming gluten for this one as well.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By trents · Posted

      I question your terminology. I believe "gluten intolerance" is used as a synonym for celiac disease in most circles today whereas "gluten sensitivity" is used of NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) though you still see a lot of inconsistency in how the terms are deployed.

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      Because of my brother’s supplement regime and my and my husband’s known gene mutations, all of the kids (26,28,30 - I should not call then kids) take PureTherapro RX Methyl Multi without iron, the MagTech magnesium supplement with 3 forms of magnesium, and D3.  I am still trying to find a Fish Oil supplement for them that comes in smaller size capsules.  I take the Metagenics lemon flavored Fish Oil Epa Dha 1000mg gels and the kids call them horse pills.  They want something 1/2 that size bur don’t have a fishy taste.

      Thank you for the response. I didn't think of  the things you presented but they make a ton of good sense. I'm in the USA so no stipend for a formal dx. With the added cost of gluten free food, I wish there was some program to help. I bought a loaf of gluten free bread that cost $7.99 and my usual multi grain is $2.57!  I REALLY felt the doctors taking you more seriously comment. That is a huge issue. I just had fairly extensive blood work done, none of which was testing for celiac, and everything came back normal. I felt completely dismissed by my doctor even though my symptoms remained unchanged. As a matter of fact, Celiac disease wasn't even on my regular doctors radar. I think after studying the symptoms and comparing them with my symptoms that should have been one of his top differential diagnoses. I will follow your advice and wait until after the bx to begin eating gluten free. I'm fairly certain of the diagnosis at this point because 4 days of no gluten has made a difference. I feel somewhat stronger, nowhere near as anxious or irritable, urinating every 2 hours instead of every 30 minutes to an hour and much less nausea.  If anybody has any other words of wisdom, advice, really anything, please let me know..I'm kind of alone in this.

      Yes, some people with Celiac do react to quinoa.  I know i do.  Apparently, two different "breeds" of quinoa can stimulate the immune system. Read here... Variable activation of immune response by quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) prolamins in celiac disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22760575/#:~:text=Cultivars Ayacuchana and Pasankalla stimulated,for patients with celiac disease. And some of us react to corn (maize) as well. Maize prolamins could induce a gluten-like cellular immune response in some celiac disease patients https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24152750/   P.S. @Brook G have you thought about getting a genetic test done for known Celiac genes?
