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.

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.

      Hello, just popped in my head to ask this question about medications and celiac? I have always had refurse reaction to meds since I can remember  of what little meds my body is able to tolerate. I was taking gabapentin 300mg for a week,  in past I believe 150? Any ways it amps me up not able to sleep, though very tired.However I did notice it helped with my bloating sibo belly.I hate that my body is that sensitive and medical doesn't seem to take seriously. Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      trents:  Why some can tolerate european bread but not american bread.     I take 600 mcg a day.  Right in the middle of the safe range.   Groups at Risk of Iodine Inadequacy Though though the NIH does not specifically list Celiac Disease in this group, they state: "Iodide is quickly and almost completely absorbed in the stomach and duodenum. Iodate is reduced in the gastrointestinal tract and absorbed as iodide [2,5]."  That would certainly include malabsorption of Iodine due to Celiac Disease with resultant Iodine Deficiency. Vegans and people who eat few or no dairy products, seafood, and eggs People who do not use iodized salt Pregnant women People with marginal iodine status who eat foods containing goitrogens Deficiencies of iron and/or vitamin A may also be goitrogenic [51] https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Iodine-HealthProfessiona   1
