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.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
