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...

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

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By rei.b · Posted

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
