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.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
