Help Me Make My Home Gluten-Free

Gardening

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.

Cast iron. Re-season or replace.

Pet food/litter.

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!

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
