Do I need to buy new tupperware containers? Or are those generally safe?

Thanks. :)

Good question. Don't know ... they seem porous like a wooden spoon or a cast iron skillet, but don't know. Personally, I'd get rid of them. I got sick off an old wooden spoon in a huge pot of chili. I also got sick from a cast iron skillet. I don't think I'd make the same mistake a third time with Tupperware. :D

There was some scientist's posting on here a while ago saying that due to the "blah blah blah" makeup of materials like Tupperware, they should be clean with about 10 dishwasher washings. I think that was what he said anyway. I can't remember. I know that I use all my Tupperware (but I washed it over and over and over before using).

He did not say 10, he said "with enough washing" and never put a number on it. Also he stated as somthing he THINKS to be true, rahter thank KNOWS to be ture. Personaly, I tossed all mine and got the gladware containers for now. Ther very cheap and work well. Well I got the storebrand ones, even cheaper, same idea. :)

You know, it's probably true, "enough washing", but what is enough? I mean, I could probably boil all my old wooden spoons, but is it really worth all that trouble? Not to me. Same with the cast iron ... I remember my great-grandmother cooking tomato sauce in her pans regularly because it not only made sauce for her, but the acid also cleaned out the pan. Then she'd re-season them. I will do that with the pan I inherited from her :D

I think I posted that, because that's what my chemical engineer husband said, and he specializes in plastics. He said the same thing about teflon pans. He just gave an "enough" answer. To that end, I don't think I've ever been glutened by my tupperware or my teflon. In my case though, neither had scratches.

I think "enough" washing would probably be okay, but I did buy new myself. And, can I suggest my favorite kind? I do not like cheaper tupperware b/c it will stain and sometimes pass on a plastic taste to foods. I love these containers b/c they do not stain or add a strange taste to foods. They are easy to clean, even with greasy foods. They have also worked very well for long-term freezer storage. Open Original Shared Link Just a suggestion... They are more expensive--but will last for a long time. You may prefer the cheaper, replace type... I do like keeping the glad ones on had for when I pass food onto friends. That way I don't have to get my tupperware back.

I only use glass containers to store food in, since plastic is most probably toxic to humans (give them a few more years - they're already admitting it with the teflon). Plus, they don't stain, don't harbor taste/odors, and clean in the dishwasher to a pristine state.

I received an email saying not to freeze water bottles as they make toxins that cause cancer after a freeze.

I use glass baking dishes, and everything even bowls.

Stainless pots & pans and everything else. nOthing plastic...

But question the dishwasher does it really getting everything?

When daddyO is here in the winter time and he's got crumbs and unsafe food particles everywhere I wonder, then when I see them them again at the bottom of the dishwasher I really wonder about CC.

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
