I'm not sure what " milton" is?

The basic idea is - can you clean it well? If it had lots of little cracks or holes- then it is hard to get the food out of every crevice. A Colander is especially difficult to scrub out every hole. So, if you can get them clean - use them.

I'm phasing out plastic completely in my house. Not only is there a chance it can hold onto gluten and other food particles including bacteria, but it also is unhealthy because of plastic chemicals that are also hormone disruptors. Plastic just doesn't belong in a kitchen. I am switching to glass. And glass is so easy to clean too. Cookware, you have to have separate ones that are dedicated to gluten-free cooking. I'm going to buy a dedicated gluten-free cast iron skillet.

You don't need separate cookware if you are able to clean the pots well.  Cast iron is porous, so it is hard to clean and would need to be dedicated gluten-free.

Exactly; that's why it's going to be dedicated gluten-free.

I adore my cast iron pans and lids. I ran them through the clean cycle in my oven and then reasoned them. You can pick them up at garage sales cheap. I still use my ancient Revereware pots which are superior to the current pot manufactured -- well scrubbed of course!

milton is sterilizing liquid that you use to do baby bottles . i thought that would clean it well. yes a sieve is a hard one to get totally clean isnt it id prob would use one at all.

Sterilizing the plastic ware and cutting board won't work.  The gluten has to be physically removed.  That is why it is recommended that plastics, wooden items and items with hard to clean areas be replaced.

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted to at least mention the possible negative sides of having a formal diagnosis. While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

      Thank you all so much for your advice and thoughts. We ended up having another scope and more bloodwork last week. All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott.  Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?
