Mixed Kitchen (Oxymoron, I Know!)

I know, in a *perfect* world, I would be able to have a gluten-free kitchen for my 19 y/old son (& me). But I'm married & our daughter and her s/o also live with us...so we have the oxymoron of a mixed kitchen.

 

My Celiac isn't so bad.  My son....he gets sick looking at their loaf of bread (or at least it SEEMS that way!)

 

I've separated everything I can think of. Their toaster & ours. Their pots/pans & ours. Their dishes & ours. Their cooking utensils & ours. Their eating utensils (for glutened food, it's plastic ware that gets thrown out) and ours.

 

I've wondered for a long time (& asked wherever/whenever I can) does it matter if something glutened gets into the dishwasher with the gluten-free stuff? What if the dishwasher does a load of glutened stuff & then gluten-free stuff?

 

Handwashing we do in separate basins at separate times & THAT is when all glutened stuff gets washed right now.

 

So, the dishwasher....does it matter?

I have a "mixed" household.  We do all the dishes together in the dishwasher.  I wouldn't want a pan with a whole bottom of a gluteny burned pizza crust going through  but ....I wouldn't really want a burned stuck-on gluten-free one going in either.   :o

 

 

We use the same plates, glasses & silverware.  Use the same glass or ceramic pans/bowls.  Mostly at my house, the gluten is bread, crackers, cereal & frozen pizza when a kid is home.  We all eat gluten-free noodles.  They have their own baking sheet for the pizza that we hand wash, but I have always done that.  They have thier own toaster. PB, etc

Same here.  Take the appropriate precautions but you don't have to segregate plates, flatware, glasses...etc.

      gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
