Any Oddball, Non-Food Items To Watch?

On the final legs of de-glutening the house and was just wondering if there were any oddball items to watch out for.  My shampoo and conditioner are gluten-free, so is my make-up and face lotion.  What about goofy things like cleaning supplies or garbage bags or anything one wouldn't normally think of as a source of gluten??  Ok, maybe not garbage bags but you get the idea :D.

Play dough.  Sun screen. Kitchen utensils or baking tools that could be contaminated.  Ummmmm... Sugar canisters or other baking supplies that may have had a flour coated measuring cup dipped into it?  Sounds like you've got most of it to me.  :)

Wooden knife block if it previously had a bread knife in it! I missed that one at first...

Kissing a filthy gluten mouth.   ;)

Wash you oven mitts, pet food if you lick your fingers, oven rack, dish sponges, underneath seat cushions, vehicles.  That's all I can think to add and I'm assuming you already did the stuff in the Newbie Thread.

Sun Screen??  Really???  That is a new one.  UGGGGG.....I did think of the knife block.  We used to have a magnetic knife holder on the wall in our old kitchen. I need to go get a new one for this house and get rid of the knife block.  I don't have enough drawer space here to put them in a drawer.  Oven mitts have been washed and put aside.  Pet food and treats are gluten-free.  Hubs is going gluten-free so no kissing filthy mouths :D.  Didn't think of the seat cushions.  We clean them every so often but probably should do that this week too.   Suspect kitchen things are gone.

There might be one or two sunscreens with wheat germ oil but most of them have nothing that is from nature..... All lab made chemicals.

Yeah, most are okay.  Just give it a quick check.  At first it seems like gluten is everywhere, but it really isn't. It's just good to check everything if you are able.

White glue, wallpaper paste, some drywall compounds and spakle (drywall itself is usually fine) if you are working on your house. They are not a problem already applied.

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet. I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now. He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs. It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc. It's literally neurological inflammation. Not to be taken lightly here. We...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-F...

      Nausea

      Hi all I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also]. BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering...

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
