Ok  my daughters been diagnosed with Celiacs..,,  I have been reading some places say we need 2 of every thing .. and some things say not so much.. I am thinking it is going to be easier if we go almost totally gluten free as well .. but I am wanting to be sure that 

I am not wasting my time / money  cooking gluten free items in a contaminated oven?? ect.  

 

Do I need to do anything special to the oven.. it is not self cleaning..

Go to the Newbie 101 thread in the coping section. It'll fill you in on that, plus so much more.

If you aren't going to go completely gluten free, you will need two of some things.  A toaster is a big one, do not share them.  Some people get different colored appliances to help keep them separate.  You will need to get rid of wooden spoons and cutting boards.  Some people get rid of their pots and pans, if they are unscratched that shouldn't matter, gluten likes to hide in the scratches and crevices.  Just keep it in mind if your daughter is getting glutened from somewhere and you aren't sure where.  Your strainer/colander needs to be thrown, you can't get all those holes clean no matter what you try.  You are going to have to get separate condiments (butter, mayo, peanut butter, jam) anything that has possible contact with gluten.  Pizza ovens can't get clean no matter what - don't share them. If you have counter top fryer, that is also a no share item. Throw out any open baking ingredients - I know I used to dip my measuring cup in the flour and then the sugar.  If you are going to keep gluten in the house, I had seen some suggest to put it in the bottom cupboards for a better chance of no cross-contamination.  And a thought on baking if you are a baker - the flour dust is bad also.  Clean your oven and microwave very well.  If you are going to cook gluteny foods in them after, make sure you are putting all gluteny foods on pans ( don't put a Tombstone pizza on the rack and then throw a gluten-free one on there) and try and cover them to help prevent CC.  Remember one thing - when in doubt, throw it out. If you don't think you can get it 100% clean, don't use it.

 

Check everything that could possible go in your daughter mouth.  I am not sure how old she is but if she is younger and puts her fingers in her mouth you will also have to check lotions and bath soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, mouth wash, medications, makeup.

 

Read the newbie thread, it's very informative.  You should also get your family tested, it's hereditary.  My daughter and I both have it. 

 

Welcome to the forum and good luck!  And if you need help, we are just a question away.

One thing I saw on a list that made me chuckle, but it's real, is play-dough.  With you having a little one, probably something you want to avoid.  I have 2 more weeks before I have to go 100% gluten-free so I'm slowly changing over.  I'm not sure what my hubs is going to do--if he will go gluten-free with me or not.  He is the baker in the family though.  I do know he needs to stop cooking pizza right on the oven rack.  First, it makes a huge mess that he doesn't clean up and second, it contaminates the oven :D.  I'll have to move our old toaster to another part of the kitchen.  It's right by my coffee maker--or move the coffee maker I guess :D.

 

My daughter is scheduled to get tested when I go back.  She has had a lot of issues but for whatever reason has never been tested for Celiac.  Our boys are supposed to be making appointments to get the blood tests done, but, they probably have not done that (they are all early 20 year olds so they have to do that themselves).

Sorry I wasnt clear.. My daughter is 20 years old.. She has had several DX ... PCOS .. she also had GP ( . Gastropariese <sp?> ) but that has resolved.  

So she has now decided to go gluten free (again) as she did for a  for a little while and quit...

 

I also have a 3 yr old that has been tested and told does not have Celiac's ... So that is part of the problem as well as the 3 yr old is all over all of us with

hugs and kisses (she tries to hug everyone even strangers ) so I think  we will all go mostly if not totally gluten-free..

 

 but my biggest question is about the oven and microwave... are they really safe if her food is covered??

Yes, as long as you clean the micro well after cooking gluten foods it should be fine. And unless your regular oven has stuck on food hanging from the "ceiling", it too will be fine.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
