Gluten Free In The Kitchen

I'm in charge of a commercial kitchen. I'm wondering if you all have tips besides the ones I've seen (separate knives, cutting boards, etc) for keeping your kitchen gluten free, or keeping your meals gluten free when you're preparing meals for others who do consume gluten. Thanks so much!

Bless you, bless you, bless you! As a former pro chef I know it is not an easy task and requires educating your staff to the highest degree and bless you for doing this. First always use a seperate freshly cleaned and rinsed saute pan for any celiacs food. Do not use the salamander or the same grill even if it is well scraped between orders. If possible have an area preferablly a stainless steel cart or counter that can be wiped with a paper towel before putting food onto it. A small cart with a few drawers for gluten-free breads and pastas would help most have wheels and could be moved out of the way when not needed. Make sure you use confirmed gluten-free spices, most Mccormick are okay. Make sure your employees are taught not to use one tong or utensil for all foods. It is a fraction slower on the line but well worth if folks can eat fear free. Also be sure to check you food handling gloves most are powder free now but some are not and that can be a source of contamination. And reveiw your food storage looking for possible contamination issues just as you would watch for folks putting raw meat on a shelp over the lettuce. It would also help if you can have a verified gluten free salad dressing or two on hand. Either Annies or Amy's (I use wegmans which are marked so I'm not sure) foods makes individual packets that you could offer. And be sure to advertise you are doing this many celiacs are afraid to eat out, I have been poisoned by some of the best restaurants. Good luck and I am sure others will be on with more suggestions.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
