What About The Toys?

My son has been collecting Bionicles and other Legos, including Technic, for years... he loves them, plays with his old pieces all the time, and they have been a significant investment. When we were talking about contamination the other day, he said "What about my toys?"

So... what about his toys? Have you all done anything special to clean toys? Or do the kids always wash up before and after playing with them?

The contamination would be that he hasn't exactly been the best handwasher for the past 5 years or so, and he and his NGF friends have been handling all those toys. He also regularly trades with friends who do not have gluten-free households. Gluten molecules could be clinging to them.

With regard to ALL shared toys, your son should just be careful not to put his fingers into his mouth and to wash his hands thoroughly after he's done playing with them.

Legos and Bionicles wash well! Kids who only play with them, tend to spill or barf or cough or sneeze on them. So I have experience washing them. :D

Why don't you just throw them in the dishwasher? I did that with our Legos!

Yeah, you could probably get one of those little dishwasher baskets that are made for holding, I think, bottle nipples and stuff :)

The pieces are so little and some are electronic so obviously couldn't go in the dishwasher, but maybe a fine mesh bag would work. I'll have to figure that out. Thanks!

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
