Ugh! Why Am I Still So Stupid?

Couple days ago my family was running around in circles doing stuff, and I was hungry... so I said I'll just fry up some hotdogs (had to fry cause wife melted the grill.. but thats a another story...) and eat them. Not exactly gormee but I was hungry! Well that was all I was able to eat for a while, and they were Ocasr Myer all beef hot dogs so I know they are gluten-free. I started geting all stupid balsted paines/etc hours after that as typical..(still got them!) and I was driving myself mad trying to figure out how I got glutened, all I ate was the hot dogs, and this is not the first unsovled glutening either (rember my icecream thread??? UGH!).

Then I noticed the fry pan... its 10 years old, all cut into, teflon is in very bad shape... DUH!! The flippen stupid *beep* pan probably has a wearhouse of gluten in all the cracks, cuts, groves and creaves!! UGH!. I went through the kitchen and through out every pan I own, all of them! Then went to Walmart and picked up a small cheap set of pans to start over with. No wonder my son is only getting mostly better, and Im not getting better at all.

BAH! BAH! BAH!

Hopefully I can at least be a warning bouy for someone!

Oh heck, lol. You know, I've been really dizzy and nauseated for about a month and I've been using an old non-stick pan that has a lot of scratches...I mainly use my stainless steel pans, but I pulled this one out a few weeks ago. Looks like a trip to the store is in order. <_<

I went to Linens & Things and got a set of their own brand of stainless steel cookware. It was a nice variety--all the pans were useful sizes. I had looked around a bit and thought the quality was good--18/10 weight with heavy copper bottoms. The whole set was, if I remember right, around $108. I opened an account that day and even got an extra % off.

Thank you sooo much for this thread! I have been wondering all along what might be making me sick when I make my gluten free New England Clam Chowder. I had been using a large Calphalon pot, but it was soo heavy and hard to clean that I switched back to an old pot I had bought at K-Mart eons ago. I dont get sick everytime, but enough to make me question my ingredients. Everytime I checked them though, they are all gluten free. All along it probably was the old pot with all the scratches in the bottom!!! Thank you again for this thread and I hope you begin to feel better too!

Can stainless pans retain gluten too or is it just teflon ? I know the teflon pan I used had gluten in it caused I actually tasted the cake that had been cooked in it prior, but is it possible that the stainless cookie sheet I use for my daughter's biscuits retain the gluten and are affecting my cookies ? marcia

I thought this thread was going to be about brain-fog! Because of the brain-fog I'm constsantly asking myself "why am I still so stupid?" :unsure:

I was WAY off...anyways I have my own seperate pots and pans at my own home and for Christmas my Mom got me another set to use when I'm at her house. It works out great. :D

I don't know the techinical explanation--it has to do with the mixture of metals in the steel. I do know that 18/10 is considered the highest quality, as opposed to thinner, less substantial stainless that would be like 18/0. With my new pans, I scrub them out, and if there's room in the dishwasher, I put them through there, too. Also, since the handles are also stainless, all the pans can go into the oven. When cooking on top of the stove, the handles don't get hot--only when in the oven.

I think stainless is okay, they just have to be scrubbed well. I don't think the stainless is porous(sp??) enough to retain the gluten, so if you are cleaning them very well after making the biscuits it should be okay. I don't have a dishwasher so it seems that no matter how hard I scrub my pans I always seem to find some spot on them later, so maybe it would be a good idea to have just one cookie sheet that's dedicated to you.

Vincent,

I'm a little slow myself. I kept looking at the picture wondering how that could be you - and then I saw the words. It cracked me up! :P Thanks.

One of first things I had to do was throw out my expensive pots and pans because they are aluminium - not because I thought they had gluten. (I'm just not that smart) It turns out that I have aluminium toxicity (I can't manage to absorb vitamins and the good nutrients, but give me a poision and my body is all over it :wacko:

hiya

18/10 explained ....

It refers to the proportion of chromium to nickel in the stainless steel alloy. The presence of chromium enables the steel to form an invisible layer of oxide that protects it against corrosion.

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next.

      It's unfortunate that they won't work with you on this, but in the end sometimes we have to take charge of our own health--which is exactly what happened to me. I did finally get the tests done, but only after years of going down various rabbit holes and suffering. Just quitting gluten may be the best path for you at this point.

      My doctor didn't take the time to listen to anything. I don't even think she knows what it means. She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady...

      jmartes, Thank you for sharing  more information with us. Most of us Celiacs whose problems do not clear up with in a few years have to decide what to do next. We can keep seeing DR.s and hope that we will get some  medication or advice that will improve our health. Or we can go looking for other ways to improve our health. Usually Celiac Disease is not a killer disease, it is a disabling disease as  you have found out. You have time to find some ways to help you recover. Stay on your gluten-free diet and be more careful in avoiding cross contamination . KnittyKitty  and others here can give you advice about avoiding some foods that can give you the gluten auto immune reaction and advice about vitamins and supplement that help celiacs. You may need to take higher doses of Vit. B12  and D3.  About 20 years before a Dr. suggested I might have Celiac disease I had health problems that all other Dr said they could not identify or treat. I was very opposed to alternative providers and treatments. So many people were getting help from a local healer I decided to try that out. It was a little helpful but then, because I had a good education in medical laboraties she gave me a book  to read and what did I think. With great skeptism I started reading and before I was half way through it I began using the methods outlined in the book. Using those herbs and supplements I went from hardly able to work to being able to work almost fulltime. I still use that program. But because I had undiagnosed celiac disease by 10 years later some  of my problems returned and I started to loose weight.    So how does a person find a program that will benefit them? Among the programs you can find online there are many that are snake oil scams and some that will be beneficial. by asking around, as I did. Is there an ND in your area? Do they reccomend that person? If you would like to read about the program I use go to www.drclark.net

She is more concerned about my blood pressure that is caused by her presence than anything else and just wants to push pills at me. The so-called dermatologist wouldn't do a skin test. she prescribed all of these silly antihistamine skin meds. This lady didn't even know what she was talking about and said "they never turn out as celiac, they usually just say it's dermatitis so here's your meds," just like my regular quack. I'm trying to change insurance companies at the moment and that has been a battle because of red tape, wrong turns, and workers having wrong phone numbers. What a joke! The allergy blood days say I have a wheat allergy of .31. Hopefully it's just that and until I find a decent doctor and dermatologist, I'll just lay off the wheat anyway, since it gives me asthma, high blood sugar, and joint pain. So frustrated at this point. The rash on my back of arms/elbows is mostly gone. Both calves and chest have started up. smh. It comes and goes. It fades faster now, though, although my forearms still produce one or two bumps on each side. The itching has calmed down a lot except for the bump area. I have dry skin to begin with so anything affecting it just makes it crazy. i'm never going to eat wheat again. I don't care if they need it to produce results or if it is just an intolerance, allergy, or celiac. It gives me hell.

Im in disability limbo and I should have never been a bus driver because im still suffering and trying to heal with zero income except for my husband. This isnt fare that my health is dictating my living and having ti beg for being revalidation of my disregarded celiac disease. Its an emotional roller coaster I don't want to be on and the medical made it worse.New pcp new gi, exhausted, tired and really fed up. GI doctor NOT girl..
