Babysitting

I just got a job babysitting. I was wondering if people have tips for cooking gluten containing food. I haven't cooked any since I went gluten free last year. I will be cooking dinner for the kids. I know to wash my hands really well when I am done cooking and not to taste any of the food to see if it is done (I'll have to use the kids for this one) but I was wondering if there are other tips people have. I can't just not take the job because I need it, so that isn't an option.

Thanks.

As long as your not baking with flour you should be fine. If you wanted you could get some powderfree plastic gloves at your local pharmacy, I get them for stuff like painting and using glues etc. I get medical grade and usually find them near the stuff for diabetes. Have fun with the kids and if you can have them eat at the table and have them wash their hands both before and after eating.

Wash your hands and you'll be fine. Clean the kids up after so they don't get their crumbs all over you if they are little and will hug you and whatnot.

Thank you for your input. It makes me a lot more relaxed.

My kids get me because they run up and kiss me on the mouth with gluten on their lips. I doubt kids you babysit will do that. Also my toddler gets ahold of my water bottle. So I have to babysit my water bottle if she's eating gluten and I have a no kissing policy if they have it.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
