I wish, with every every everything I have that there were a product that you could spray on cooking utensils and it will turn a bright color if there is gluten on it.

You know, like they do on CSI when they search for blood.

**deeep sigh**

I do not like how the only way an object can be tested to make sure it's absolutely gluten free is to wait and see what happens when the food goes down the throat.

Just sayin'

Hey, I'd love to see the look on her face whe she sees BIGHT GREEN all over her house!! LOL. . .now, wouldn't THAT be poetic justice?!

Maybe someone in some lab some where will read this and see how bad something like this is needed and actually figure out how to do it and get rich.

I think the pharmaceutical companies should package it into samples to give to our docs - to push on us. . . when we're first diagnosed. **nods**

Yep, I do. I think that would redeem them from their many sins. **snickers**

hmm... too bad I am clueless when it comes to chemistry. Does anyone have someone in the science field that we could suggest this idea to? Not in the mood for daydreaming today, I am all for action. That, and I too would love to show my mother how contaminated her house is.

Sounds like a great idea.

I also have a wish that we would be able to take a pill to neutralize gluten so that if we do accidentally get some, we will be OK.

Supposedly there is some kind of natural supplement that helps in the slightest cases of contamination, gluten block or something like that. I just had someone tell me about it, but have no clue other than that.

A spray would be nice but I've gotten around it. When I go to my parents house even though they have more and more gluten-free snacks in thier house I cook my own stuff ahead of time or if we are having a family gathering and my grand mother is there she makes sure most of the meal is in gluten-free and she mixes everything in glass containers that have been washed out with a new sponge and covers everything. They also let me get my food first before the kids get to it. My family has come a long way in understanding what makes me sick and how to stop it. I always have a back up plan though. I refuse to cook my stuff in other people's kictchens so I bring stuff that's ready to heat and eat.

There are pills that are supposed to bind to gluten called "gluteneze." I have used this, but I don't trust them enough to flat out eat something with gluten using them.

I love the idea of a bright green luminescent spray! I bet lots of people would have it on their persons-- hair, clothes, skin.... it would really be interesting.

**laughing** I bought a lotto ticket so's I can afford the patent!! Grief, inventing is expensive. I do think I'll do some research tho and maybe see if can push the idea along. . .if you can get litmus paper, you should be able to have a simple home test in the kitchen that can help clean things up. A mist spray would probably be the most functional, but I was thinking. . .it can be put in the dish liquid and you simply wash until the foam turns a certain color.

I think I'm not ready to just sit here and let it be a passing idea, though. I posted it, maybe someone with the know how will grab it and make themselves rich. (fine with me, I just want the product) But in the mean time, I'll continue to see what I might be able to do with it.

Heh, I just remembered my cousin whom I haven't had contact with in eons. . . he's an inventor, and has gotten quite rich doing so. . . wonder if he'd take a look at it.

What if we could just look at something and it would glow a weird color if it had gluten? Then we could be invincible!!

**LAUGHING!!** I read this to my hsuband - he looked at me with THAT look and said, "well, we already know YOU'RE weird."

HEH.

It would me nice if the wheat industry would attach a 'marker' to it though!! :)

UPDATE: My husband and I are seriously talking about this. There are several people we are going to contact MONDAY to see if someone will take this as a project. My husband works for a university - and knows several. I know a 'few' people and organizations that might want to take this on.

Wish us luck?

:)

Good Luck!

earlier either you or someone mentioned Lithmus paper as an example, here's another, remember those tablets from dentists that when kids chew them any missed plaque (from brushing) goes red?

I think this would be an awesome idea!

Yeah! I remember those! **laughing**

I was the only one out of five kids that actually LIKED those things! :)

Thanks! I'll keep everyone posted on what happens with it.

That spray is a great idea I know I would buy it just to help prove that not everything is gluten free because someone else thinks it is or wants it to be. I also would like a pill so that I could have some gluten back in my life, I don't even need a lot but a little bit occassionally with a pill to neutralize it would be great :)

Of course the spray would have to be non-toxic, gluten, dairy, egg, nut, soy, corn, etc. free so as not to make anyone with other allergies sick too! :lol:

Here are instructions for using the EZ Gluten test that include the use of surface swabs!

Open Original Shared Link

I have wanted to test surface swabs, but so far all of my tests have ended up dedicated to my food supply. So, I don't have personal experience using it this way yet, but I would love to hear if anyone else has done it.

I want to test the surfaces at parks!! The playgrounds, the picnic tables . . . OK, I don't really need a test to *know* about the picnic tables . . .

Spraying more "stuff" only seems to add to the pollution, doesn't it?

as to the gluten pill my natural medicine person gave me "gluten digestion" made by prosol (but you have to have a doctor get it for you, kinda stupid). even when i know im not getting glutened it seems to help some along with the other stuff im taking.

as to the cleaning issue, i know the gluten sticks and all but on pots and pans abrasive cleaning should remove it, and acidic cleaners (even vinegar will do it) should be able to remove it since they will etch the metal (removing a very small layer of the metal).

when i go home and eat from a mixed kitchen with no separation i some times have issues but i cannot say for sure they are from gluten, that being said i also get better when i go home after having issues usually, but it might just be stress related

I guess that would depend on what the 'stuff' is . . .if it's a natural product that breaks down completely, then it wouldn't be an issue. That could / probably should be part of the request, tho.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
