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.

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting!  The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease.
