I cannot believe I'm writing yet another blog post on tonsil stones!!! Seriously. More comments asking if I have found a resolution to these disgusting things than about the details of an IUI cycle! Haha!
And yeah, haven't blogged for awhile and this is my comeback post?! I'm cool. And yes, I'm semi back to blogging.
So for those that are finding my blog by way of the NY Times article I was interviewed for, hi! Read my other tonsil stone frustration posts here and here!
Quick update, how I got rid of tonsil stones? Cut gluten! Seriously! No more gluten in my diet (thanks to my oldest daughter) and the tonsil stones vanish! Give it a try before doing something drastic like removing tonsils! I read several articles linking gluten to tonsil stones and sure enough, for ME that was he correlation!
Try it and let me know how it works for you in my unscientific poll! :-)

My mother had an abcess on her tonsil and got them removed when she was 15
I am 31 years old and just recently saw a white glob on my tonsil, poked it, and a clump shot out like popping a blackhead
it smelled horrible
I had strep 3 times in a year 2 years ago and they told me that if I got it again I was going to have to get my tonsils out but I didn't get it again unfortunately
I wish doctors would have removed these when I was a kid after the 6th or 7th time that I had strep instead of creating the grounds for an even riskier and dangerous surgery that I'm most likely going to need as an adult SMH
If I end up having kids and they inherit the tonsil issues that my mother and I did I will force their Dr to take them out
I've been diagnosed with Celiac for a couple of years and been GF for 2 and never had these before. I really want them removed :(
I'll try cutting gluten but my question is how can I remove all calcium that is still there somewhere on my tonsils? kinda hard to tell since my tonsils dont look inflamed, but when pushing around stuff still comes out and just have the feeling something on my throat and ear pressure sometimes. Until today i wasnt sure if it was ok for me to push on my tonsils, tohught i would damaged it, however, u did it for years and u are ok.
