Gluten Free Kitchen In The Making

My husband decided it would be easier and safer for me if he went "gluten free" with me.  So far, he says he has enjoyed everything I/we have prepared.  I know I have to toss wood and rubber utensils and the toaster.  What about plastic storage containers, cast iron skillets, freezer containers, and mixing bowls.  It is necessary to get rid of those, also?  I know I can recondition my cast iron skillets if its necessary.  I'm very new to this and trying hard to do it right!

What type of mixing bowls?

Plastic containers, yes.

Basically, anything that isn't glass or stainless steal. I am unsure on the cast iron though.

I would scrub up the plastic containers and use them. We are almost going to do the same here. I am scrubbing up everything .. I am using our wooden spoons, I scrubbed them very good!! I am using our plastic bowls, scrubbing them up very good. I am using everything I did before just really really scrubbed them up like they had the plaque ... I have not had a problem. There is still Gluten in my house. I will cook the rest of it up and  feed it to hubbs , I will replace it with Gluten free stuff. I am using the same Cast Iron Skillets I had before I have never re done them. I just use them for my Gluten Free stuff now. I have not had a problem.

I would strongly recommend putting your cast iron in the clean cycle of your oven and then re-seasoning them.  I bought a bunch of new Gladware or ZipLock containers and tossed my old tupperware.  I took the advice on this forum and Jane Anderson's recommendations on about.com.

I am super-sensitive and am not sure if everyone needs to do this, but it seemed to help me.    Make sure to wash well or replace potholders.  I also needed my family to dispose of some cook books which had been doused with years of flour incidents.   We copied the recipes that we could not do without and collected new recipes.

 

I don't think potholders were ever mentioned before!

I liked your comment about the potholders.  I've always washed mine weekly or tossed them into the laundry if I got food on them.  Not everyone does this.

I not only wash them, after they get a certain "LOOK" to them I pitch them out! I hate nasty looking pot holders! :)

I can't quite agree with scrubbing and reusing wooden spoons.  Honestly, I would toss and get new.  The same with plastic containers.  They get scratched and uggy.  It's just for peace of mind if nothing else.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
