Cross Contamination

I have read that it is important to avoid cross contamination by keeping food separate when cooking, etc. I also read that when you have celiac disease to keep separatae utensils for cooking and eating.

My question is whether that is necessary if everything you use to cook and eat with is washed in a dishwasher? I hope someone has some advice on this topic!

Silverware and such is fine but you should have seperate utensils if they are made from wood.

Entirely depends on the cookware. Stainless steel should be fine being thoroughly washed. Wooden spoons not so much, and collanders definitely not. And non-stick pans should never go in the dishwasher anyway, so I'll assume those aren't even being asked about.

Anything that's not insanely easy to thoroughly clean without having a scrap of anything left behind is fine, but anything porous, with lots of small scratches or hole to catch food, or the like is suspect and should not be shared. (Applies to cutting boards too.)

Remember, heat can't "kill" gluten, so just running it through the dishwasher isn't necessarily sufficient, unless the dishwasher removes every last trace of anything left on the dishes.

Thanks for your input.

I will have to do some shopping - because I have been sharing the colader and plastic utensils. I had a short time where I was feeling better, and then it stopped - maybe the utensils are part of the problem!

Anything to "be free!!"

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BlakeAlex! Is this the GI Reset product you are using?: https://inwellbio.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/GI-Reset_Info-Sheet.pdf There is a lot of weird stuff in that you could be reacting to. Personally, I would discontinue it as I doubt it's really doing you any good anyway. Getting to the point where you are truly eating gluten free consistently usually involves a significant learning curve as gluten is hidden in the food supply in many ways by manufacturers. For instance, would you ever expect to find it in soy sauce or Campbell's tomato soup? But it's there and a main ingredient. Getting rid of macro sources of gluten is relatively easy. Just cut out bread, cake and pasta. But avoiding the hidden sources and the cross contamination sources is much harder. I am including this article that might be of help to you as a new celiac in getting off to a good start:    Long-term undiagnosed celiac disease inevitable leads to nutritional deficiencies because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel where almost all of the nutrition in our food normally is absorbed. We routinely recommend that newly diagnosed celiacs invest in some quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplements. And I'm talking about more than a multivitamin. We recommend a high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of D3 daily, Magnesium glycinate, and zinc. I suspect your mouth and throat ulcers are nutritional deficiency related. Costco is a good place to get good quality gluten-free vitamin and mineral supplement products at a reasonable price. Are you on medications? May we ask your relative age?

      Symptoms - Ulcers & Cough

      By BlakeAlex · Posted

      Hello, I was recently diagnose with Celiac Disease and without realizing, I had every symptom on the list. Now I am moving as fast as I can to a total recovery. I thought I was doing well but I notice my ulcers on my tongue and throat and cough are starting to come back again.  Has anyone experience these symptoms? Also, I am incorporating GI Reset powder for a jump start to recovery.  Thanks in advance, Blake

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      No. There is no damage done to the gut lining with NCGS.

      Hi Trents, Thanks for the feedback. Yes, I do have concerns about NCGS. Would this show up if I did the endoscopy testing?

      @MagsM, It concerns me that your physicians seem to be preoccupied with the concept of "classic celiac disease".  That suggests to me their knowledge of celiac disease may be dated and they don't have a concept yet for the "silent celiac" who doesn't manifest with classic GI symptoms.
