In The Kitchen

I am wondering what other's do inthe kitchen when it comes to the pots, pans, and utensils?? :huh:

Do you use separate everything or not?? Do you use cast iron?? If not why? I read recently in the last publication the GIG Newsletter that cast iron was ok.

We have only been doing this since January and I am still trying to figure out what is advice and what is good advice...

thanks in advance!

I use cast iron and do all the cooking for the family, but sometimes my kids will make something for themselves. Everything I cook is gluten-free. The only thing I have two sets of is wooden spoons.

If my kids make somthing with gluten, they need to use the enamaled cast iron, or the stainless.

At our house we have stainless steel and rinse really well and use the dishwasher. I also have my own butter container, own peanut butter jar, jam etc. Everything gluten-free is clearly marked to make things a bit easier. Are you using your own toaster? Look in your cutlery drawer too--I :rolleyes: was amazed at the crumbs that found their way there.

I also dont worry much about CC in my kitchen. I do all the cooking and I only cook gluten free, my husband and now my son only eat that way anyway and my hubby is a great sport about it. The only thing he keeps is his own sandwich bread which is kept across the kitchen from all my stuff and we wash all plates in the dishwasher, which cleans everything perfectly here. Hope that helps some

We have two sets of pots and pans. I'm probably overly paranoid, but I even make a mental note if I use a scrubber on a pot that was cooking non-gluten-free food, and won't use it on 'my' pots and pans.

I also do all the cooking, so I know what has been where, which helps.

we had 2 sets when my sisters lived at home, but now they are only home on breaks so we are basically gluten-free except for the bread in the corner,

i don't think that is being overparonoid butt it worked better liekt ah.

      Do you eat in restaurants, or food prepared in restaurants?

      Thank you, I think with the initial blood tests they did actually do the IgA tests first to make sure those are normal! I am wondering if there are any tests that actually test for the presence of the gluten protein? From my understanding, all of these test for gluten antibodies, which in the case of refractory celiac would switch to a gluten-independent mechanism of activation. Because my ttg levels havent changed at all with my increasingly strict diet, I am concerned about distinguishing between the possibilities that 1) I am super sensitive to very very small amounts of gluten and am getting cross contamination from somewhere I haven't identified or 2) have refractory celiac where even if I were to eliminate gluten 100%, my immune system is stuck in this activated state or is reacting to something else. The course of action should be different in these scenarios - in scenario 1, I should really lock in and stop eating processed foods all together (even if labeled gluten-free?) and identify any possible source of contamination no matter how small, but scenario 2 would require some other intervention like corticosteroids or a clinical trial. If I could somehow test the actual presence or amount of gluten in my body, I would think that could distinguish between these possibilities - if gluten is present it is more likely scenario 1, and if gluten is not present it's more likely scenario 2. I would probably need a test I could take regularly like once a day

      That is true, but they are not a bad place to start. I recommend ones One A Day without iron, unless you need iron. You can definitely add other supplements over time if needed, but it's a good starting point that can address a variety of nutrient deficiencies.
