Sometime this week I'm going to have a family meeting with my 2 roommates. We all share a kitchen and many utensils. I just bought a breadmaker and it's going to be totally off limits. The toaster is shared but it's the oven kind with a crumb tray. (I'm not so sensitive that I'm worried about it.)

What other things should I look out for? I'm going to mention the colander (which is used for pasta sometimes) and maybe get a new one. What other things have caused problems in the past? Is there one brand of dish soap or dishwashing method that you all prefer? We don't have a dishwasher. My roommates understand why this is an issue (one has dairy problems anyway), but they don't know a lot about wheat containing products or contamination. (I'm new to this too!)

Maybe mention getting seperate butter dishes. My husband just know to get out as much butter as he needs on the first dip and not to put the knife back in there. So we just have one dish, but for your situation a seperate butter dish might be a better solution.

I have a separate butter (actually smart Balance) container than the rest of the family. It's so easy to 'double dip' when you're not thinking about it. The same goes for any condiment you have. One solution is to use the squeeze type whenever possible. Another thing is wooden cutting boards and utensils. I would always prepare my food on a clean plate or plastic wrap, or something like that. Anything to avoid the crumbs!

      Well, I have the opposite problem. My LDL has been moderately high for years. I eat healthy and exercise regularly but can't seem to move that meter. I used to be on a statin (and my doctors want me to go back on one) and it brought both HDL and LDL down but the ratios never changed. I think a lot of that cholesterol stuff is just baked into the genes.

      Wow, @plumbago, Curiouser, and curioser... Have you been fasting?  Apparently HDL levels increase after fasting... https://ajcn.nutrition.org/article/S0002-9165(23)31185-7/abstract   I must say it, try taking some Thiamine.  Thiamine helps regulate lipoproteins... Thiamine helped lower HDL in this study whether they had diabetes or not. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921172/#:~:text=Serum thiamine and its derivatives,supplementation (p %3D 0.009).

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).
