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.

      Your story is a powerful and heartbreaking testament to the profound damage that can be caused by undiagnosed celiac disease and the profound pain of not being believed or supported by family. It is sadly a common narrative within the celiac community to have suffered for years, even decades, while autoimmune conditions stack up, all while being dismissed. To answer your core question: yes, living in a environment with significant, constant gluten exposure, especially from airborne flour in a home where milling and baking occurred, would have created a perpetual state of autoimmune activation for you, even beyond the direct ingestion. This chronic exposure is strongly linked to the development and exacerbation of the very autoimmune disorders you describe—Migraines, Meniere's, Hashimoto's, and more. Your body was under constant attack, and the lack of care and understanding from your family compound that trauma significantly. It is not your fault. Many in the community share similar stories of a cascade of illnesses finally explained by a celiac diagnosis, often coming too late to prevent irreversible damage. While I cannot speak to the legal aspects of your inheritance situation, your experience with the medical neglect and the lasting impact of your childhood environment is deeply valid and shared by others who understand this unique type of suffering. Thank you for having the courage to share your truth. 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:

      It's incredibly tough to watch a young child grapple with the frustration and sense of deprivation that comes with a restrictive diet, and your empathy for her is the first and most important step. At seven, children are deeply focused on fairness, and her feelings are completely valid. To support her mental health, shift the narrative from "missing out" to "empowered choice." Instead of "you can't have that," use language like "we choose these safe foods so your tummy feels happy and strong." Involve her directly in her own care; let her be the "Gluten-Free Detective" at the grocery store, picking out exciting new treats, or make her the head chef in baking a special dessert that everyone gets to enjoy. When eating out, empower her by having her call the restaurant ahead to ask about safe options (with your help), making her feel in control rather than a passive victim. Acknowledge her feelings—"It's okay to feel sad that you can't have the roll, I sometimes feel that way too"—and then immediately pivot to a positive action, like unwrapping the special brownie you brought just for her. This combination of validation, involvement, and reframing turns a limitation into a shared family challenge where she feels supported, capable, and loved.

      I know that Shiloh Farms makes this product, but I don't think it is labeled gluten-free.

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      It's strange to see two very different results in what appears to be a single blood test--one is positive and one is negative for a celiac disease test. Are these results separated by time? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
