De-Glutening The Home

How crazy do I need to go with getting my home gluten free? I am giving away all gluten containing food and possibly cross contaminated foods like sugar and PB. For cooking items, I am cleaning the oven and everything in the kitchen, getting rid of the toaster, plastic containers, spatulas, plastic mixing bowls, marble rolling pin, cookie cutters, sandwich shape cutters, hand mixer, old baking pans that may have cooked on cake/cookie batter, pizza stone and cutter, flour jars...

 

What about my daughter's sippy cups (possible crumbs in crevices), serrated knives, other knives? Am I missing anything else? Am I getting rid of too much?

I would get new sippy cups! Too many crevices. Sounds like you have it down.

If you can toss most of that in the dishwasher, it should be fine.  The sippy cups, maybe--but again, if you can wash/rinse them well, they will be fine.  Your hand mixer should be fine too.  Plastic that is intact is fine, scratched up, probably not.  The toaster is obvious--no possible way of cleaning that.

Sounds  like  you are  in control.... a  stand  mixer  is  fine  but  take  a good look  at  a  hand  mixer  where  the air  vents  are,  you  probably  will see  residue  of  wheat  flour  blowing  around  or  suck  to the  air  vents.. I would  get  a  new  hand  mixer.. Also  if  you have  a  bread  maker  used  with  wheat  flour  , get a  new one  for only gluten-free, no  way  to clean  the  crevices  around  the  paddles....don't  forget  the  mustard  jar, jelly  jar, mayo  jar! wooden  cutting  board or  anything  scratched   or  marred  ie: non stick  cooking   utensils,  wooden  utensils,  cast  iron  that is  scratched.. colander.....

Also  remember  to check out  your  toothpaste, lipstick  for  gluten  ingredients,  prescription  drugs  ..

 

Donate  your   gluten  items...

You're well on your way.  :)  Looks good.

I wouldn't think that you would need to get rid of a marble rolling pin. Marble isn't porous.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      Thanks for your input.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
