Anyone know if Comet cleaner with bleach disinfectant cleaner is gluten free? I have a whole kitchen to clean, and would like to know.

Thanks!

I can't tell you for sure, but I can't imagine that Comet would contain wheat, rye or barley.

Hmm...yeah, you are probably right, and that's probably a stupid question, but you never know! The idea of just spreading gluten all around as I otherwise do my utmost to avoid it just drove me to the telephone and stayed on hold for forever. They told me that no it does not contain gluten. I guess one reason I asked was that there was some discussion about dish liquids containing gluten.

Basically, just being extra sure!

Thanks.

No problem with being extra sure! :)

Ok, while we're on the topic, let me just check back in with you and others, if you don't mind. I'm going home soon, back to the place I've been living for 20 years, after being away about 7 months. When I go to the store, either mainline grocery or some place like Whole Foods or more altie than that, is it ok do you think for me to just pick up whatever kitchen counter top cleaner that I want? I mean, I'm searching on this topic and can't find anything, so like Comet, would gluten just not be in any other type of cleanser either?

Thanks again.

I'm super sensitive to cc, but I do not worry about my countertop cleaners. Then again I do not prepare food directly on my countertops. I alway use a cutting board or plate.

I use Dawn dish soap on my counters. They can't have gritty or acidic cleaners. If you can use acidic cleaners, white vinegar is cheap and works well. Bleach can kill germs.

I use Comet and a ScotchBrite pad on my Calphalon cookware but I also wash them with Dawn before putting them away. I think Comet (at least the kind I have) is too abrasive to use on countertops or stainless steel sinks. I always use cutting boards and don't prepare food directly on my countertops.

For my stainless steel sink I like CLR (got it at either Wal-Mart or Lowe's).

Thanks to everyone who replied. Thanks for the recommendations. I don't really prepare food directly on the countertops either. The reason though, that I need a good cleaner is to wipe away other people's gluten.

Thanks again.

Any good cleaner will do. A bleach cleaner won't kill the gluten, but rather a good spray to dislodge any stuck gluten, like 409 or....

Or just a spray bottle with water? I suppose my point is, do we have to "kill" the residue left behind from a crumb? Or is it ok just to get it up, and maybe wipe a rag across the counter? How severe do I have to get in cleaning a glutened counter top?

Am I to understand that Dawn dish washing detergent is safe? This is a topic that recently came up at home.

Thanks,

You can't "kill" the gluten like you can kill germs. Since it's a protein you would have to burn it to break down the protein (which obviously doesn't work with a countertop, but I have heard you can get rid of gluten in a cast iron pan by heating it at really high temps). Just do your best to wipe it away and don't use towels or sponges that get reused. Use paper towel or something disposible instead. Be sure to wash your hands well after you finish cleaning it up. And then don't let your food touch the countertops. It would really be best if you have to live with gluten-eaters to have a countertop that is designated gluten free and only prepare your food there or vise versa have a gluten only countertop and don't prepare your food on that one surface ever. But that of course depends on your living situation and how co-operative the gluten eaters are. ;)

I react to cleaners, even if they are gluten free. I react to chemicals! I wear gloves when cleaning and have my children do some of it. I hurt after using certain cleaners, whether they have gluten or not.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Nuts and cheese are not particularly high in tyrosine compared to many common foods most people eat nearly every day, particularly most meats and fish. I doubt that is the issue in and of itself, though nuts and cheese (particularly aged cheeses) can be a trigger for some migraine suffers for whatever reason. https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/high-tyrosine...

      @Sarah Grace,  Thank you for the update!  It's so good to hear from you!  I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you.  Yes, it's important to take all three together.    I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too.  They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine.   I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines.  Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin.  (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.)     This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/   For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing...  This causes an endorphin release in the brain.  Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile.  Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile.  Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work.  If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too.  Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism).  Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand.   Vitamin D helps, too.  Low Vitamin D is found in migraine.   I'm so glad you're doing better.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
