I am new here, but not new to eating gluten free. I have been eating dairy free for over 3 years now and gluten free for almost 4 months. I also just determined I have a reaction to peanuts. And I am wondering about soy as well.

I have a family: DH and DD have no diet restrictions, both DSs are dairy free. Since I cook all our meals, I can control what goes into them. We have given up a lot of restaurant places to eat dairy free and now even those safe for dairy free have to be discontinued due to my gluten free eating.

So just trying to get a handle on juggling everyone's needs and balance the food budget. I just got over a week and a half of loose poo and have no desire to go there again any time soon.

Ok, so questions: I use glass pots which get washed in the dishwasher. Are they safe for both gluten and gluten free cooking? (not that I do much cooking that has gluten anymore). I have one stainless steel skillet that I scrub and then send through the dishwasher. I may use it occasionally to make pancakes, but am leaning on going all gluten free for that stuff too...

I store all leftovers in glass pyrex storage. That should be fine sent through the dishwasher if it had gluten in it, right? I am gonna replace the cake pans. Should I just go for glass, or maybe stainless steel?

I have a ceramic pan that I cook fries on for me to eat, but it is also used for gluten filled breaded chicken. I scrub it with running hot water before using it for fries. Should I stop eating fries cooked on that pan?

I am thinking of getting a dedicated toaster for myself. Right now I take a new piece of tin foil and use that to cover the rack in the toaster oven to toast my gluten free bagel in the morning. Any thoughts on how safe that is?

I know some of this is based on how sensative someone is, but I would really love opinions of people who have been there and their own experiences. I really love being headache and diareh free...

Thanks!

I am new to gluten free- about 2 months. I am feeling so much better!

I was told:

dedicated toaster

dedicated cutting board

new cooking utensils if the old ones/ones used for cooking gluteny foods are plastic or rubbery

I have gluten eaters in my family. I cook my pasta first, then theirs.

I wash my hands a lot!!

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the board!

A dedicated toaster for sure. Most dishes and cutlery will be safe after being run through a dishwasher, especially if ones that have gluten residue are rinsed prior to loading. If your cutting board is wood, don't share it. Same goes for wooden spoons (or anything else made of wood--it is porous). Wire mesh strainers can trap gluten where the wires cross.

Glass, stainless steel, and ceramic (unless scratched or cracked) clean well and can be shared if washed properly.

All I replaced was the toaster, cutting board, and my wooden spoons.

Hi, I got a new toaster, new breadmaker, I replaced everything that was made of teflon(bakeware, pans). So I got quite a bunch of new things.

The glassware, stainless steel and ceramic's okay to keep. Just wash them really good. Stoneware is porous so I would replace that, if you have any. Same with non-stick pans(I was told by my GI dr), and also cutting boards.

Hope this helps.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By trents · Posted

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?

      Abnormal Labs, Should I Be Concerned?

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year

      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
