I am wondering how you clean to make sure you are getting rid of those little crumbs and the like that like to linger around and CC things! I am worried that we just aren't being as diligent in ALOT of ways to keep things clean enough..including little hands. Any helpful advice would be appreciated!!

I had a moment yesterday where I could just hear those crumbs laughing at meknowing that I wasn't really getting them picked up!! :blink:

Thanks!

I've been wondering about how hard it would be having gluten in the house. Maybe we just make the rule that there's no gluten in the house, but those of us that can still have it, can have it while eating out or at other people's houses.

We are also thinking about the house being gluten free. I am interested what others use to clean with..bleach? What about table tops? Countertops?

What really gets rid of the gluten??

This is what I want to do. But I know I'm up for a battle. It's OK with me. The one year old won't object. The 11 yo and DH aren't going to be easy to persuade.

At my parent's house, my dad has one counter that he uses for gluten foods, one cutting board, one knife. His gluten things are not allowed on the gluten-free side of the kitchen. My dad is also fantastic about wiping up after himself. Even with all the precautions, I still get nervous when I visit. I live alone right now in an entirely gluten-free apartment and I get nervous just knowing that there's gluten lurking in the house that might get me.

I've read of some people making the gluten-members of the family keep their gluten cookies in ziplock bags in the garage and they're only allowed to eat them outside.

      In general with pharmaceutical products cross-contamination is a much lower risk.

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      Refractory celiac disease

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.
