would love to chat with you. i too had cav. surgery about five years ago. no difference in symptoms. the dentist said he may not have gotten all of the infection, he did his best. this summer i had a thermograph taken. i am red in that lower jaw area, and also all down my neck and shoulders and chest and everywhere i could see. so apparently the infection still exists.
i too have had a positive gluten intolerance diagnosis from enterolab, so i am about 1.5 months gluten free. no real improvement in symtpoms yet, though i know it can take a while.
i think that since my health symptoms started back when i started having trouble (infection/root canal) in that lower jaw 11 years ago. i am now considering raising many thousands of dollars to go to parcelsus for help.
