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!

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
