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.

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.

      Hi Charlie, You sound like you have been having a rough time of it. Coeliac disease can cause a multitude of skin, mouth and throat problems. Mouth ulcers and enamel defects are well known but other oral conditions are also more common in people with coeliac disease: burning tongue, inflamed and swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, redness and crusting in the mouth corners, and dry mouth to name but some. The link below is for paediatric dentistry but it applies to adults too.  Have you had follow up for you coeliac disease to check that your anti-tTG2 antibodies levels have come down? Are you certain that you not being exposed to significant amounts of gluten? Are you taking a PPI for your Barrett's oesophagus? Signs of changes to the tongue can be caused by nutritional deficiencies, particularly iron, B12 and B9 (folate) deficiency. I would make sure to take a good quality multivitamin every day and make sure to take it with vitamin C containing food - orange juice, broccoli, cabbage etc.  Sebaceous hyperplasia is common in older men and I can't find a link to coeliac disease.   Russ.   Oral Manifestations in Pediatric Patients with Coeliac Disease – A Review Article

      Hi @Charlie1946 You are very welcome.   I agree wholeheartedly with @knitty kitty:  "I wish doctors would check for nutritional deficiencies and gastrointestinal issues before prescribing antidepressants." I had a type of tingling/sometimes pain in my cheek about 2 years after my diagnosis.  I noticed it after standing in cold wind, affecting  me after the event - for example, the evening after standing outside, I would feel either tingling or stabbing pain in my cheek.   I found using a neck roll seemed to help, reducing caffeine, making sure I was well-hydrated, taking B12 and C vitamins and magnesium.  Then when the lockdowns came and I was using a facemask I realised that this pain was almost entirely eliminated by keeping the wind off my face.  I think looking back I was suffering from a type of nerve pain/damage.  At the time read that coeliacs can suffer from nerve damage caused by nutritional deficiencies and inflammation, and there was hope that as bodywide healing took place, following the adoption of a strict gluten free diet and addressing nutritional deficiencies, recovery was possible.   During this time, I used to spend a lot of time outdoors with my then young children, who would be playing in the park, and I'd be sheltering my face with an upturned coat collar, trying to stay our of the cold wind!  It was during this time a number of people with a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia came up to me and introduced themselves, which looking back was nothing short of miraculous as I live in a pretty sparsely populated rural community and it is quite a rare condition.   I met a number of non-coeliacs who had suffered with this issue  and all bar one found relief in taking medication like amitriptyline which are type of tricyclic anti-depressant.   They were not depressed, here their doctors had prescribed the drugs as pain killers to address nerve pain, hence I mention here.  Nerve pain caused by shingles is often treated with this type of medication in the UK too, so it is definitely worth bearing in mind if standard pain killers like aspirin aren't working.
