Should I Be Investing In A New Set Of Cookware?

I have been hearing that I should not be using the same pots and pans to cook gluten-free foods in as I do for other foods. Does the gluten stick to cookware that it does not come off when washed? I know I am buying a completely different set of cooking utensils but wasn't sure how necessary the pots and pans are.

If your pots and pans are in fairly good condition and not scratched, a good washing should remove the gluten. I would invest in a toaster that is exclusive to only gluten free breads. They are fairly inexpensive.

I replaced only fairly scratched teflon pans and all my wooden utensils, kept my plastic and silicone. I also replaced my toaster and my knife block. I kept the knives just replaced the holder.

I wasn't sure if I should replace the colander so I just use one specifically for gluten-free pasta which is pretty much all we have now anyways.

I have good quality stainless steel pans that I cleaned up good and use. I bought a stainless steel pan at a thrift store to use exclusively for wheat pasta for hubby. He now decided he likes rice pasta better.

As far as nonstick goes, I have my own frying pan for gluten free foods.

I have a colander, cutting boards, veggie peeler, can opener, etc. that are used only for gluten free foods. Gave up using Tupperware and store foods mostly in glass containers. I do have a couple plastic storage containers that I wrote gluten-free on with permanent marker so we know to keep those separate from the rest.

I have lots of cabinets in my basement so just this weekend I cleaned out a lot of those seldom used cookware and storage containers and put them down the basement. How I have two large shelves in a closet for gluten free cookware, glasses, etc. I cleaned out the Lazy Susan bottom cupboard. One shelf is for gluten free foods and the other shelf is for gluten foods. Also cleaned out two more cabinets and have more shelves for gluten free things.

I have a small cabinet my father-in-law built where I keep food that is exclusive for me. I also put spices in there that I want to make sure don't get cc.

I was paranoid so I replaced everything, except for silicone spatulas. I bought pots, pans, bakeware and I don't use anything with Teflon anymore.

No, not necessary. I just wash them.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.

      CT with contrast.

      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.

      New labs are now very elevated

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
