Reuse Containers?

I am newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease, and am trying to get my kitchen under control. Thankfully my husband has agreed to "eat with me", so that is making it 100 times easier !! What I was wondering is if it would be okay to reuse my flour containers if I clean them up really good?

Depends on what material was used to make them. And then it depends on how well you clean them.

My guidelines are if they are glass or ceramic they should be fine once cleaned very well. Plastic or metal, probably not since they may have a seam where gluten can hide. I figure if the seam is something I can slide my fingernail into I don't use it but I have very thin fingernails.

I would and did buy new ones.

My lingering symptoms began improving when I started to buy my own pans and containers.

I would use this as an excuse to get some new kitchen goodies.

Much depends on how sensitive you are. Gluten can affect some on a molecular level!

I did not keep my Tupperware flour container. I did keep my glass candy containers with glass stoppers that I had kept pasta in.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
