Temporarily Bringing Gluten Into A Gluten Free Kitchen--Help Me Think This Through

My hubby and I are having a combined birthday party, because our birthdays are 4 weeks apart. Hubby and I would like a pizza party.

 

However, it would be a lot cheaper and easier if I could provide regular pizza for the gluten eaters.

 

But recently I've converted my kitchen to gluten free. If someone gives something glutenous to hubby, my normal practice is to have him bag it immediately and remove it from the house, eating it only at work.

 

Would there be any CC issues if I brought in frozen regular pizza, quickly baked it in my oven, and then removed it and put it outside, serving all the food on disposable plates and with disposable utensils?

Hmm....actually occurred to me that I could also just have the inlaw's cook all the regular pizza at their house and bring it over and never bring it into my house.

I call my MIL and my inlaws are fine with bringing all the regular pizza, which makes it a moot point.  :) It's nice not to have to worry about it! After converting my kitchen to gluten-free, it feels like bringing in a biohazard! LOL!  :P

I came home today from out of town to a Domino's box on the counter. He says he cleaned up then he said he'd put his poison pizza away!  :rolleyes:

LOL! We ate breakfast at a friend's house when we ending up staying over at their house unplanned and as I ate (I had carefully made scrambled eggs prepared by me on a rewashed stainless steel pan and some fresh and canned fruit) my friend quipped as he pointed to his cereal boxes, "These cereals might as well be labelled "Shredded Death" and "Nutty Casket." (Shredded Wheat and Nutty Nuggets)

 

LOL! It's good to have a friend that "gets" the seriousness of avoiding gluten.

We cook frozen gluten pizza in our oven ( I have an 18 & 20 yr old). No big deal. Pizza doesn't jump off the pan onto another pan. We order gluten pizza and they eat it at the table. Once again..it's not jumping around.

Karen is right, but when you are newly diagnosed, keeping gluten out of your house helps with any anxiety you may have (and so many of us had anxiety when we were really sick) and prevents any possibility of getting glutened and setting you back. When you feel better and confident, then you can relax your new standards.

That's my two cents!

I'd like to point out, as I have a gluten eating husband who eats enough pizza to feed a small country every year, that there are places that offer online deals when you order pizza that make it as cheap as buying frozen pizzas. Check around and see what's in your area and what deals are current, you may find a lot of $5-7 per pizza deals or if you're getting a lot a store manager may be willing to offer a special deal. Since a frozen pizza that doesn't taste like total crap is $4-6 we almost always just order out for him since it's a buck not to make it ourselves and the quality difference is very noticeable.

 

Also, while Karen is totally right, there is also more than one way to cook a frozen pizza. Many recommend cooking them on the oven rack, which is something that won't be happening in my kitchen when I have a gluten-free one. It's also the best way to get a good crust on one. After we have a gluten-free kitchen will be the death of frozen pizza for my husband. Too bad for him.

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      @klmgarland, My dermatitis herpetiformis didn't clear up until I became meticulous about cross contamination. I cut out gluten-free oats and all gluten-free foods, dairy and gluten-free rice. Additionally, getting the right amount of protein for my body weight helped significantly in my body's healing process ... along with supplementing with enough of all the vitamins and minerals ... especially Zinc and Magnesium. I went from 70kg to 82kg in a year. Protein with each meal 3 times daily, especially eggs at breakfast made the difference. I'm not sure whether iodine was a problem for me, but I can tolerate iodine no problem now. I'm off Dapsone and feel great. Not a sign of an itch. So there is hope. I'm not advocating for the use of Dapsone, but it can bring a huge amount of relief despite it's effect on red blood cells. The itch is so distracting and debilitating. I tried many times to get off it, it wasn't until I implemented the changes above and was consistent that I got off it. Dermatitis Herpetiformis is horrible, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

      Thank you so very much Scott.  Just having someone understand my situation is so very helpful.  If I have one more family member ask me how my little itchy skin thing is going and can't you just take a pill and it will go away and just a little bit of gluten can't hurt you!!!! I think I will scream!!

      It is difficult to do the detective work of tracking down hidden sources of cross-contamination. The scenarios you described—the kiss, the dish towel, the toaster, the grandbaby's fingers—are all classic ways those with dermatitis herpetiformis might get glutened, and it's a brutal learning curve that the medical world rarely prepares you for. It is difficult to have to deal with such hyper-vigilance. The fact that you have made your entire home environment, from makeup to cleaners, gluten-free is a big achievement, but it's clear the external world and shared spaces remain a minefield. Considering Dapsone is a logical and often necessary step for many with DH to break the cycle of itching and allow the skin to heal while you continue your detective work; it is a powerful tool to give you back your quality of life and sleep. You are not failing; you are fighting an incredibly steep battle. For a more specific direction, connecting with a dedicated celiac support group (online or locally) can be invaluable, as members exchange the most current, real-world tips for avoiding cross-contamination that you simply won't find in a pamphlet. You have already done the hardest part by getting a correct diagnosis. Now, the community can help you navigate the rest. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      My only proof

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's very frustrating to be dismissed by medical professionals, especially when you are the one living with the reality of your condition every day. Having to be your own advocate and "fight" for a doctor who will listen is an exhausting burden that no one should have to carry. While that 1998 brochure is a crucial piece of your personal history, it's infuriating that the medical system often requires more contemporary, formal documentation to take a condition seriously. It's a common and deeply unfair situation for those who were diagnosed decades ago, before current record-keeping and testing were standard. You are not alone in this struggle.

      Methylprednisone treatment for inflammation?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Methylprednisolone is sometimes prescribed for significant inflammation of the stomach and intestines, particularly for conditions like Crohn's disease, certain types of severe colitis, or autoimmune-related gastrointestinal inflammation. As a corticosteroid, it works by powerfully and quickly suppressing the immune system's inflammatory response. For many people, it can be very effective at reducing inflammation and providing rapid relief from symptoms like pain, diarrhea, and bleeding, often serving as a short-term "rescue" treatment to bring a severe flare under control. However, experiences can vary, and its effectiveness depends heavily on the specific cause of the inflammation. It's also important to be aware that while it can work well, it comes with potential side effects, especially with longer-term use, so it's typically used for the shortest duration possible under close medical supervision. It's always best to discuss the potential benefits and risks specific to your situation with your gastroenterologist.
