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.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
