Where Do I Start?

I'm just a bit curious how all of you have cleaned you kitchen/pots/appliances upon going gluten-free. My hubby is willing to go on a gluten-free diet with me, but if we want to avoid cc we'll have to really change things around here. Are there any products/methods that are best for cleaning up after a lifetime of a gluten-filled kitchen?

We have a shared kitchen. I allow bread and cheerios in the house. Nearly everything else is gluten free. We wash the dishes by hand then run them through the dishwasher. I spray gluten bread crumbs down and then wipe them up with paper towel, then respray and rinse the counter tops. I did buy a new toater for us gluten free people and I never buy gluten pasta.

I haven't been glutened at home in a long time so we must be doing all right.

Good Luck, RA

We have a shared kitchen in our house since I am the only celiac. I bought a new toaster for myself and new set of pots and pans - including spatulas, big spoons etc.(pretty much all kitchen utensils). My husband eats gluten and he uses regular dishes and silverware that I hand wash them and put in the dishwasher. I use disposable utensils and paper plates for myself. I'm extremely careful or maybe overly careful.

We have a mixed household. I read here on the forum a while ago the recommendation to assign the color red to plastic items. Everyone in the house knows that the red colander, spatula's, bowls, etc. are not to be used for gluten foods. This has worked very well for us.

As for my wife and I, we didn't go to some of the extremes that others have. I did get my own toaster and bread machine. As far as dishes, I use the same ones the rest of my family uses and have treated them the same way, just rinse off and throw in the dish washer. The only thing I do not use is the wooden cutting board, but we have had plenty of plastic ones to begin with.

When it comes to condiments, I have my own tubs/jars of things to avoid CC. We also use a lot of squeeze bottles when we can find them.

As far as food, there are gluten things in the house for everyone else except for pasta, my family has gotten used to it and that makes life easier than boiling two pots of water etc...... I've even had people over for spaghetti that liked the gluten-free pastas better than the gluten stuff.

      Hello @CeliacNew, If you are Vegan to help you feel better, reconsider returning to omnivore.  Actually, since you are already on a very restrictive diet, transitioning to gluten free might be easier for you.  Read the ingredient labels, Particularly vitamin D and Choline require supplements for vegan diet because our primary source is sun, eggs and beef.  B12 also.

      Once you've completed testing and still don't have improvement, start a trial gluten free diet.  Looking for imprvement that may indicate Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, which is 10 times more prevalent than Celiac Disease. Deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, D, and C can manifest as skin rashes.  Virtual guaranty you are deficient in vitamin D.

      So those rs numbers tell researchers where the dbSNP is located in a Genome so that other reasearchers or an AI system can look in that specific spot for that Snip of information.  You can look those rs # s by pasting the numbers after rs into the lookup on this page https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/snp/ right under the Blue header bar at the top of the webpage.  Since you are not a researcher, I do not know how this will help you though.

      So I posted here once before, and everyone advocated that I get into a GI doc.  I finally got into my functional health appointment on 6/16 to get my blood results evaluated and get the Gastro referral. I was told that I would be fortunate to see a gastro doctor by December, because of the number of people waiting to get in, but they did believe that I needed to see a GI doc among others.  Well, the stars aligned. I got home. I looked at MyChart and it showed an appointment available for later that same day. I never clicked so fast on an appointment time. The gastro doc ran some additional blood work based off the December values that had confirmed my daughter's suspicion that I have...

      I agree with @trents and wiping down the spot you eat your lunch, and eating the food your brought from home should be safe for even sensitive celiacs. Gluten can jump on your food, so it would likely better better for you to continue eating where you prefer.
