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.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies. IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells. Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy. Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope. Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine? Were...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for food allergies and environmental allergies about 7 months before I started taking Naltrexone, so I don't think that is the cause for me, but that's interesting! The main thing with the celiac thing that is throwing me off is these symptoms are lifelong, but I don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac...

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
