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).

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
