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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
