Just wondered, are glass cutting boards safe to share between gluten-free and regular food, if thoroughly washed?

It should be fine, as long as you are careful.

Just something to consider. Glass is the most non-porous surface, but I believe glass cutting boards will dull your knives quicker than other types... nothing's perfect :)

Glass cutting boards are fine to share. When I was sharing a kitchen I got one because I wanted my cutting boards to be safe from CC. I hated it. It makes the most God-awful sound in creation when you use it, is a terrible surface for whatever you're cutting to hold still on and will dull your knives really quickly. It's now used as a place to set hot things.

Concerns about other things aside, gluten is not an issue in my world when it comes to glass cutting boards or other things in the kitchen. Glass does not scratch and is easy to clean. Enjoy!

Yep, with it being easy to clean, once you are used to it it will be fine.  I would buy a cheaper, dedicated knife for it that you can easily replace since they can dull nice knives.  And watch out for slippery stuff!

Thanks for the feedback.

 

I don't have any plans of getting one for my kitchen (my kitchen is 99% gluten free), but when I go to my SIL's house, it's good to know that it's perfectly safe. I might still bring along my wooden cutting board, though, because wood is my favorite.

I've bought some flexible very thin plastic cutting boards that cost maybe $3 or $4 each.
I take them when I travel, or go somewhere away from my own kitchen.  I use those, and I can lay them on any counter to protect form cross contamination.

 

We travel a lot, and I use them in hotel room kitchens.

That's a great idea Cathy! Not only for cutting, but also for making a gluten free sandwich or any other kitchen activity. It'd sure be easier and less intrusive than giving your relative's counter a thorough scrub down with soap and water. LOL!

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      By kopiq · Posted

      thank you so much. this makes so much sense. I just started taking vitamin b complex today (https://www.amazon.ca/Absorption-Methylated-Methylcobalamin-Flush-Free-Igennus/dp/B01787EPEE?rdc=1) and will continue with it to see how I feel. I also have 1000mg vit d pills but i do not absorb fats and when i first tired them i got a severe migraine for three days. Once i no longer taste fats or foods linger in mouth and throat I will start taking the vitamin d pills.   thanks again, really appreciate the info, I have a drs appointment in a few weeks and will look into a dietician.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease.  Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac.  Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap.  People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must.  It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well.   People with Hashimoto's often have deficiencies in Vitamin C and Thiamine.  Vitamin deficiencies are common in Celiac Disease.  A deficiency in Thiamine can manifest as Gastrointestinal Beriberi with digestive upsets and changes in bowel habits.   Your burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days after working out may be due to a lack of Thiamine and B vitamins.  If you don't have sufficient Thiamine, lactic acid can build up in muscles causing that burning sensation.  Anybody remember Jane Fonda's workouts?  Her catch phrase was "Feel the burn" meaning work out so hard, lactic acid builds up causing the burning sensation.  Thiamine and the B vitamins are needed to clear that lactic acid and repair muscle damage. Supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and magnesium would be beneficial to help you feel better.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are inaccurate.  Take Thiamine and B vitamins, then look for health improvements.  If not needed or absorbed, excess B vitamins are easily excreted in urine.

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By Jessica H · Posted

      Hi trents, just an update to my post, I had my follow up with my gastroenterologist. Scheduled my endoscopy for July 17th and got my biopsy results back July 28th. I have my official diagnosis now and I do in fact have Celiac disease. I'm slowly starting to switch my diet over to completely gluten free. My goal is to be completely gluten free after Christmas this year. I know I should be stopping completely now, but I am have a really hard time with change so my doctor told me I could do this gradually if it was easier for me. Now I know though and can make myself better with simple steps, no medication and have peace of mind knowing what I have is not the end of the world. Thanks again for your support. I've learned a lot over the last couple of months.
