One More Quick Question....do I Need New Pans?

I don't have non-stick cookware, everything I currently have is stainless steel. Food sticks to these pans pretty bad, no matter how much I scrub. Is it possible to get all the gluten off of stainless steel or no?

I read in Kids with Celiac that you should have high quality non-stick cookware. What's everyone's take on this and what do you all do?

A couple materials are bad: teflon (especially), plastic, wood (such as in wooden spoons), etc. With steel, you can get new pots/pans if you want, but you don't have to. I personally would, but if you make sure that it's ALWAYS cleaned very well, you should be okay. Things you should replace:

- Collander (no matter what material it's made out of, it's too difficult to make sure all the crumbs are out of it.

- Anything wooden, such as a wooden spoon.

- Spatula

I would recommend that you have a set of gluten-free pots/pans and a set of regular--that can be easily distinguished between--but it's not essential.

Great question, I was wondering that myself. I must have posted at same time celiac3270 did, thanks for the answer.

I've changed collanders, wooden and plastic utensils, and we have a separate butter dish for "his" butter...but other than that everything is the same.

Oh, that reminded me....separate condiments are good...it's too easy to forget that you can't double-dip on the jelly/butter/peanut butter with a knife that's already touched regular bread....

The one thing that my nutritionist said to me was to change my Toaster. I have a seperate one from the rest of my faimly. but the collander and anything wooden are great ideas also. :)

I make sure to label my containers of butter, jelly and such. I just use a magic marker and put my name on them or something silly like "NO GLUTEN ALLOWED". At my parents house I also get one of the drawers in the fridge to put "my stuff" so it doesn't get mixed up with everyone elses.

Yes :)....I usually write with a Sharpie on the lid or label: GLUTEN FREE or gluten-free or celiac3270'S...although one time, on a peanut butter lid I wrote "celiac3270's...All Mine!!! Hahaha!!" [the hahaha is an evil laugh]....yeah...that was in one of my weird moments :lol:

And a new toaster is ESSENTIAL. If you buy nothing else new, buy a new toaster.

I actually used a sharpie to write Gluten Free all over our new toaster for my daughter. Even then when my sis was babysitting she accidentally put a regular waffle in it. She bought us a new toaster before we got home. :) Sent her husband out. So sweet! If we double dip I use a sharpie to write contaminated on the jar and lid. I wonder if that scares my visiting family. "why do they have contaminated stuff in their fridge?" :lol:

I love the squeezable bottles for condiments...mayo, jelly etc. But with just me and my dh cooking for now it's easy. We spoon everything out.

It's amazing how we adapt for our kiddos health huh?

lol...that's great :D. I've done the same thing--with a few containers of Duncan Hines icing that were used for regular cupcakes for my brother's birthday...I wrote contaminated all over them with a Sharpie, just like you do. I also write gluten-free or Gluten-Free or celiac3270's Only on certain things that I keep in a gluten-free cabinet (peanut butter, etc).

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies. She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses. She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid. The test was a failure. The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies...

      Positive biopsy

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen! Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run...

      Positive biopsy

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
