Help Me Make My Home Gluten-Free

My littlest gets upper and lower scopes tomorrow, and we're going gluten-free right after.

I know about:

No non-stick pans

New wooden cooking spoons

New cutting boards

No more Aveeno products

Vacuum the #@$% out of my couch and probably get it professionally cleaned.

I see the Joelle makeup ads all over this site. Is there really gluten in my Bare Minerals? It didn't look like it from the ingredients. I worry that some manufacturers are trying to get on the gluten-free bandwagon and they'll soon try to sell us gluten-free fruit, etc.

Where can I stop? There are toy boxes that include toys from McDonald's happy meals that I'm sure were handled while eating chicken nuggets. And then those toys would have touched other toys....

What about rubber spatulas?

Any thing else?

Hi Gardening, you are on the right track at my home I have my own toaster, cutting board (the family uses the old one),strainer (ie:spaghetti/potatoe etc), my shampoo/conditioner are labeled in the shower gluten free as well as my lotions, i use the clorox wipes on the counters instead of a sponge, i use one shelf for gluten free stuff in my pantry, i also used in the beginning aluminum pans for baking cakes etc. until i could by my own seperate ones... i tossed out the wooden spoons just because it was easier for me to use metal ones.. i also have a separte spoon rest when cooking two different pastas for the family ( i know a little anal but safe).. i also use squeeze bottles brand ketchup, mustard , mayo, etc.. no c/c there.. as for the peanut butter the family has the jar of p'nut butter and i get the individual jiff containers.. no worry that the oldest child will c/c my stuff..i have my own margarine labeled in the fridge.. all in time it will come to you the little things that you think of...

i am sure other people will chime in on other tidbits as for what to do..and i might get some tips from them as well. B) good luck..

Oh -right! I should replace all my spreadables (Earth's Best, almond butter, Veganaise, etc) for the crumbs - thank you for reminding me!

My older girl is gluten-free too, so we are making the whole house gluten-free. We were just waiting for the scopes, since my little one needed gluten up until then.

New toaster - check. And I guess my husband needs clean the heck out of the grill grates.

Spices and old sugar may need to be replaced. If you ever used to dip the measuring spoon/cups into flour and then dip them into a spice or the sugar bag, then your spices and sugar could be contaminated.

Based on this post: (which is a few years old so you should double check) it sounds like Bare Minerals is safe.

And a new coffee/spice grinder, since I used to use the Martha Stewart trick of cleaning it out with a piece of bread! :rolleyes:

Off to a field day at Bed Bath and Beyond!

toothpaste

mouth wash

hand lotion and hand products, if either of you tend to bite nails or put fingers in mouths

floss (some flavored varieties have gluten issues, if I remember correctly)

dishwasher soap and dishwashing soap (Cascade and Dawn are gluten-free, last i heard))

new plastic cookie cutters

ice cube trays, if plastic

If you do a lot of construction/wood working, you might want to check those too. A lot of construction materials (dry walls, putties, etc...) can have gluten.

tea - tea bags can be sealed with gluten. Some can also have oat products as part of the blend.

:) good luck on the scope for the little one!

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.
