Glass Cutting Boards

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.

yes.

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.

Yep... the other reason I stopped using them... drove me all the way up the wall!!!!!

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!

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
