Do I need to have seperate plates and silverware?

Hello,

i am new and trying to figure this all out. Do I need to have seperate dishes and silverware? Is it ok to wash all dishes together  in the dishwasher?

i have a 5 and 3 year old. I am touching foods with gluten breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.  I feel like I am washing my hands a hundred times a day. I am trying to wipe them down after they eat, but as any of you with children know this does not always happen before their little hands end up all over me or on my face. If they touch my shirt, and the I touch it later could that lead to cross contamination?

 

all feedback welcome.

thanks,

christina

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, you can get glutened by your little ones.   You might consider reducing the amount of gluten in your house.  Maybe even eliminating it all together.  But first, you should get your kids tested even if they are symptom free!  The University of Chicago's celiac website can explain this.  

Your dishwasher should remove all traces of gluten.  Read up about replacing wooden spoons, plasticware, scratched non-stick pans, and get a dedicated toaster.  Our Newbie 101 thread under "Coping" is a great place to start.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
