New to all of this. But open to learning

[Baba Fats]

Hi everyone. 
 

I recently started dating a woman with celiac. I love cooking and baking. So I’m definitely interested in learning how to navigate this. 
 

it’s a process. I’m starting off by cleaning everything I use, again, before I use it. Not using certain utensils that are wood, and harder to get really clean.

 

I’ll be getting some supplies that I can dedicate to her. And store them separately. 
 

this is really just an intro. Not looking for advice here.  I can search the forums for that.

It’s wonderful that you’re trying to keep her safe from gluten!  Based on posts I’ve read here over the years, not everyone tries to keep friends/family/significant others safe.

Wow, your lady is very lucky to have you! After seeing stories about celiac being the cause of some people’s breakups, it is so nice to see something positive like this. Wishing the two of you all the best.

That blows my mind. But I also have a friend who I told about the cooking situation, and he said he wouldn’t be able to date someone who he’d have to change so much of his style for. Not starting a relationship makes a little more sense than ending one because of it. But neither actually makes sense to me. If you care about someone, you makes those adjustments, as best as you can.  If they care about you, they’ll help, and not judge you when you struggle

I’m trying my best. Definitely poisoned her once (luckily really mildly). Thought I cleaned my cutting board well enough. Since then, I got a mat that I’ll dedicate to her, until I get another actual cutting board. She’s extremely sensitive, so I’m doing everything I can, shy of having a completely dedicated kitchen (ideal someday, since I’d also like a space to bake with flour, too).
