Just need your opinions on this one. I am already getting rid of two griddles, some nonstick pots and pans, a George Foreman 5 in1 :( , colanders, a nice pizza stone and other things. Still getting mixed messages about plastic/teflon/melamine. Thanks for any input. :(

I replaced my plastic storage containers, as well as my teflon pans (because they had scratches in them). It was time for new stuff anyway! :lol:

I don't have one, but can't you clean the Forman Grill well. Just make sure that you can clean things well and run them in the diswasher. Any scratched teflon pan or pot should be replaces for many reasons.

The pizza stone can't be cleaned.

I did not get rid of my plastic storage stuff except for the one that I actually stored flour in. It was not scratched up nor had the melt marks that you see when people heat things up in the microwave (which I don't do but some people do). I did not get rid of my Cuisinart griddler/panini press. It was fairly new and unscratched. I did not get rid of the kids (melamine) plates or plastic glasses either.

Also, I'm not sure if you are taking the whole house gluten free or not, but if you are not, then save a couple of items (marked/stored elsewhere) for when you need to cook/store something and you want to keep your gluten free items safe.

You can also use some of your storage things to store kids craft items, hair bows/barettes, legos, tiny tiny pieces that always seem to be included with the kids' toys . . . etc.

I am taking the whole house with me. I feel bad for my husband though. But it would not be good for my stress level to keep gluteny things in the house. I tend to obsess about these sorts of things. I would have constant worry.

I don't heat plastic in the microwave either. I don't even like to use plastic, but it is way cheaper than glass. I never thought about using my tupperware for other things. I think I may buy new ones for the food and use the old ones like you said. I do have a 7 year old daughter after all. Small things abound here. Thanks for the info!

The grill is so gross really. It is so coated in grease. I tried to scrub it and it ate my Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. :huh:

And it is teflon which freaks me out a bit, even not being scratched. But it is a little scratched up, not too bad. There are so many nooks and crannies too. I really just wanna throw away my whole kitchen and bring in a new one. Luckily we just bought this house 3 months ago and it is new. Imagine my stress level if it was older. :blink::unsure: YIKES!

      Confused about my results

      By Russ H · Posted

      There is a predictive model for children on this link. Depends on sex, HLA genes and number of affected close relatives.  The model only goes up to age 12 so it would be interesting to know what the lifetime risk is. https://hputter.shinyapps.io/preventcd/

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      That is a very good point I do not know if they truly ever went down. With my nutrient levels all being good, CBC, metabolic panel I assumed everything was fine over the years. Now Im worried this is refractory celiac or something else

      By RMJ · Posted

      I don’t know how common it is, but it happens.  Total IgA going up is not necessarily celiac related.  The body can make IgA antibodies against all sort of things.   But if I understand correctly that until recently you haven’t had a celiac blood test since diagnosis, how do you know that your recent blood tests are a mild rise, vs never going down to the normal range? That also can happen, although not too common. Some people with celiac disease do react even to purity protocol certified gluten free oats. Removing oats from your diet for a few months and retesting is probably a good idea.

      TTG IgA and IGA elevated mildy

      By thejayland10 · Posted

      interesting I did not know that was that common or could take that long.  When I was diagnosed 15 yrs ago I was told just follow gluten-free diet and follow up with primary care doctor (who never checked celiac panel again). I felt way better and all the major symptoms went away. It wasn't until recently at 25 (14 yrs after diagnosis) that I thought to follow up with a gastro doctor who then did a celiac panel and noted those minor elevations 3 months ago then I got them checked again by another doctor the other week and were showing roughly the same thing.  I am very strict with what I eat and dieitican was maybe thinking it could be oat flour. I do eat a fair amount of processed food but I will not touch anything unless it is certified gluten free.  Do you see this pretty commonly with others? Having mild rises in TTG IGA and IGA who have been on gluten-free diet for years?

      Do you have any other results from either of the two labs where you’ve been tested recently?  If so, are the newest results from that lab elevated over previous results? It took me 5 years to get all of my antibodies into the normal range. Then 3 years later one went up into the positive range.  I realized that I had started baking with a different brand of gluten free flour.  When I stopped using that flour the level went back to normal.  Has something changed in your diet, environment, activities, medications or other areas where you could possibly be exposed to gluten?
