Toasters, and damaged plastic or wooden utensils or cooking tools (like a collander) are the only items that you really need to be careful of.  I would be more worried about contaminated butter, mustards, jams, peanut butters, sugar and other baking ingredients.  Those things can become contaminated too easily to share with others. You may need a small space to store your own safe foods.

 

It takes a while to get a kitchen sorted out, but it can be worth it in the end.  :)

Hi Mary Ann and Welcome!

 

Don't feel like you have to buy all of the gluten free varieties of all of the foods you used to eat.  For example, just because you used to eat bread doesn't mean you have to now eat gluten free bread.  If you stick with whole foods that are naturally gluten free (i.e. veggies, meat, fruit, dairy if you can tolerate dairy) it doesn't need to be expensive.  And Nicole is right - you don't need all of your own appliances, cookware, dishes, eating utensils, or even plastic containers.  But you definitely need your own butter, mayo, etc. - anything that gets dipped back into with a knife that could have gluteny crumbs on it.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.
