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.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin. In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began...

      Keep in mind that there are drawbacks to a formal diagnosis, for example more expensive life and private health insurance, as well as possibly needing to disclose it on job applications. Normally I am in favor of the formal diagnosis process, but if you've already figured out that you can't tolerate gluten and will likely stay gluten-free anyway, I wanted...

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      Thanks for this Russ, and good to see that it is fortified. I spend too much time looking for M&S gluten-free Iced Spiced Buns to have ever noticed this! That's interesting, Scott. Have manufacturers ever said why that should be the case?

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In the U.S., most regular wheat breads are required to be enriched with certain B-vitamins and iron, but gluten-free breads are not required to be. Since many gluten-free products are not enriched, we usually encourage people with celiac disease to consider a multivitamin.  In the early 1900s, refined white flour replaced whole grains, and people began developing serious vitamin-deficiency diseases: Beriberi → caused by a lack of thiamin (vitamin B1) Pellagra → caused by a lack of niacin (vitamin B3) Anemia → linked to low iron and lack of folate By the 1930s–40s, these problems were common in the U.S., especially in poorer regions. Public-health officials responded by requiring wheat flour and the breads made from it to be “enriched” with thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, and iron. Folic acid was added later (1998) to prevent neural-tube birth defects. Why gluten-free bread isn’t required to be enriched? The U.S. enrichment standards were written specifically for wheat flour. Gluten-free breads use rice, tapioca, corn, sorghum, etc.—so they fall outside that rule—but they probably should be for the same reason wheat products are.

While I understand wanting a formal diagnosis, it sounds like she will likely remain gluten-free either way, even if she should test negative for celiac disease (Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If her symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it would likely signal NCGS).

All serological markers continue to increase, and the doc who did the scope said there villous atrophy visible on the scope — but we just got the biopsy pathology report back, and all it says is, “Duodenal mucosa with patchy increased intraepithelial lymphocytes, preserved villous architecture, and patchy foveolar metaplasia,” which we are told is still inconclusive…  We will have her go gluten free again anyway, but how soon would you all test again, if at all? How valuable is an official dx in a situation like this?
