Help Me Make My Home Gluten-Free

My littlest gets upper and lower scopes tomorrow, and we're going gluten-free right after.

I know about:

No non-stick pans

New wooden cooking spoons

New cutting boards

No more Aveeno products

Vacuum the #@$% out of my couch and probably get it professionally cleaned.

I see the Joelle makeup ads all over this site. Is there really gluten in my Bare Minerals? It didn't look like it from the ingredients. I worry that some manufacturers are trying to get on the gluten-free bandwagon and they'll soon try to sell us gluten-free fruit, etc.

Where can I stop? There are toy boxes that include toys from McDonald's happy meals that I'm sure were handled while eating chicken nuggets. And then those toys would have touched other toys....

What about rubber spatulas?

Any thing else?

Hi Gardening, you are on the right track at my home I have my own toaster, cutting board (the family uses the old one),strainer (ie:spaghetti/potatoe etc), my shampoo/conditioner are labeled in the shower gluten free as well as my lotions, i use the clorox wipes on the counters instead of a sponge, i use one shelf for gluten free stuff in my pantry, i also used in the beginning aluminum pans for baking cakes etc. until i could by my own seperate ones... i tossed out the wooden spoons just because it was easier for me to use metal ones.. i also have a separte spoon rest when cooking two different pastas for the family ( i know a little anal but safe).. i also use squeeze bottles brand ketchup, mustard , mayo, etc.. no c/c there.. as for the peanut butter the family has the jar of p'nut butter and i get the individual jiff containers.. no worry that the oldest child will c/c my stuff..i have my own margarine labeled in the fridge.. all in time it will come to you the little things that you think of...

i am sure other people will chime in on other tidbits as for what to do..and i might get some tips from them as well. B) good luck..

Oh -right! I should replace all my spreadables (Earth's Best, almond butter, Veganaise, etc) for the crumbs - thank you for reminding me!

My older girl is gluten-free too, so we are making the whole house gluten-free. We were just waiting for the scopes, since my little one needed gluten up until then.

New toaster - check. And I guess my husband needs clean the heck out of the grill grates.

Spices and old sugar may need to be replaced. If you ever used to dip the measuring spoon/cups into flour and then dip them into a spice or the sugar bag, then your spices and sugar could be contaminated.

Based on this post: (which is a few years old so you should double check) it sounds like Bare Minerals is safe.

Cast iron. Re-season or replace.

Pet food/litter.

And a new coffee/spice grinder, since I used to use the Martha Stewart trick of cleaning it out with a piece of bread! :rolleyes:

Off to a field day at Bed Bath and Beyond!

toothpaste

mouth wash

hand lotion and hand products, if either of you tend to bite nails or put fingers in mouths

floss (some flavored varieties have gluten issues, if I remember correctly)

dishwasher soap and dishwashing soap (Cascade and Dawn are gluten-free, last i heard))

new plastic cookie cutters

ice cube trays, if plastic

If you do a lot of construction/wood working, you might want to check those too. A lot of construction materials (dry walls, putties, etc...) can have gluten.

tea - tea bags can be sealed with gluten. Some can also have oat products as part of the blend.

:) good luck on the scope for the little one!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      For my Vit D3 deficiency it was recommended to take with Vit K2 (MK7) with the Vit D. The Vit K2 helps absorption of Vit D3. Fat also helps with absorption. I take Micro Ingredients Vit D3 5000 IU with Vit K2 100 micrograms (as menaquinone:MK-7). Comes in soft gels with coconut oil. Gluten free but not certified gluten free. Soy free, GMO free.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I respectfully disagree. You cherry picked a small section from the page.

Even though celiac disease and gluten sensitivity are, technically speaking, not allergic responses, it would seem, nonetheless, appropriate to include "gluten" in that list for the present purpose. That would insure that food companies would be consistent with including this information in labeling. Best estimates are that 1% of the general population, many undiagnosed of course, have celiac disease and more than that are gluten sensitive."

      Celiac Disease causes more vitamin D deficiency than the general population because of limited UV sunlight in the winter and the little available from food is not absorbed well in the damaged small intestine.  Taking 10,000 IU a day (250 mcg) a day broke my depression. Taking it for eleven years.  Doctor recently said to not stop.  My 25(OH)D is around 200 nmol/L (80 ng/ml) but it took about six years to get there.  Increasing vitamin D also increases absorption of Calcium. A good start is 100-gram (3.5-ounce) serving of salmon,  vitamin D from 7.5 to 25 mcg (300 to 1,000 IU) but it is going to take additional vitamin D supplement to be effective.  More importantly salmon has an omega-6 to omega-3 ratio 1:10 anti-inflammatory compared to the 15:1 infammatory ratio of the typical Western diet.

      Thank you for sharing your thoughts.  I respectfully disagree.  You cherry picked a small section from the page.  I will do the same below: The agency is seeking information on adverse reactions due to “ingredients of interest” (i.e., non-wheat gluten containing grains (GCGs) which are rye and barley, and oats due to cross-contact with GCGs) and on labeling issues or concerns with identifying these “ingredients of interest” on packaged food products in the U.S. “People with celiac disease or gluten sensitives have had to tiptoe around food, and are often forced to guess about their food options,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary, M.D., M.P.H. “We encourage all stakeholders to share their experiences and data to help us develop policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices.” --- end quote Anyone with celiac disease is clearly a stakeholder.  The FDA is encouraging us to share our experiences along with any data to help develop future "policies that will better protect Americans and support healthy food choices".  I see this as our chance to speak up or forever hold our peace.  Like those that do not participate in elections, they are not allowed to complain.  The way I see it, if we do not participate in this request for public comment/feedback, then we should also not complain when we get ill from something labeled gluten-free. Have a blessed day ahead, Known1
