Making The Whole Family gluten-free?

Thanks again, everyone!

I took the plunge yesterday. I scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom & completely reorganized it. I broke the news to my kids. My eldest ds and my dh both were a bit upset, but I think they'll adjust. I told them they're welcome to have gluten outside the house, so that eased things.

I scrubbed my toaster oven (for nearly 2 hours!) and had toast for the first time in months - it was DELICIOUS! :) I put a note on it saying "No Gluten Please"... then dh came home and decided on a BLT for dinner. "But, how will I toast my bread?" he pouted. He wound up using the regular oven. We only have a half loaf of regular bread, so I figured I'd be safe scrubbing the toaster now & then not buying anymore "real" bread. Who knew this would be the night dh needed toast. Oh, well.

I'll be phasing out the gluten items as we run out of them (namely, cereal), but I think most of the stuff that would need to be prepared is already gone...

Thanks for all the input and advice!

If it helps, there's a crapload of gluten-free cereal, especially Enviro-Kidz brand, they put a little gluten-free tag in the upper right-hand corner of the gluten free flavors.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
