What are your experiences -is it safe to leave utensils/cups out of a cupboard as long as the area is pretty gluten-free or should one keep their utensils stored away?

I put the gluten-free stuff away so no one accidentally grabs one. I don't have gluten flying in the air, so I don't worry about my water glass sitting on the counter.

Does this rule apply to every gluten-intolerant person or should some people store away their stuff even if there's little chance of aerial gluten?

This is just what I do at my house. If someone was using wheat flour, I would put everything else away. I don't leave my glass of water on the "gluten" counter where they make sandwiches. I don't see how a bread crumb could cross the kitchen and fly up another 8 inches to the counter I leave my glass on. If we need to make a crumby mess, gluten or otherwise, I would clear off the counter of clean dishes, etc. You could certainly store your glasses out & upside down. Especially if they will be sitting out for a while. Keeps them dust free at least.

I try to use some common sense. If I couldn't trust them to keep the gluton crumbs where they belong, I would have to be more careful - like a water bottle or cup with a lid. I realize there are people who would rather not reside in the same state with gluten but I would think they don't have any in their house. :)

then just to double check, I think I'll be keeping my glass out in the open (in a space w/little chance of gluten CC) for about 1 hour not upside down. I think that should be okay?

(Sorry, I'm kinda hypochondriac on this)

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure. These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract. Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop. Ataxia is just one of over two hundred...

      symptoms.

      @Rebeccaj, When you smell toast or pasta cooking, that means that particles of that food are floating around in the air. Airborne gluten can then be inhaled and swallowed, meaning the food particles get into your digestive tract. If you're careful to avoid gluten and are still having symptoms, those symptoms could be caused by vitamin deficiencies...

I would be more concerned about cross contamination happening in other ways in a living environment where others are preparing and consuming gluten-containing foods. Thinks like shared cooking surfaces and countertops. And what about that toaster you mentioned?

      Hello, @NCalvo822, Blood tests for Celiac Disease test for antibodies our bodies make in response to gluten exposure.  These Tg IgA 2 antibodies mistakenly attack our own bodies, causing problems in organs and tissues other than just the digestive tract.  Joints can ache, thyroid problems or the pancreas can develop.  Ataxia is just one of over two hundred symptoms of Celiac Disease. Some people with Celiac Disease also make tTg IgA 6 antibodies in response to gluten exposure.  The tTg IgA 6 antibodies attack the brain, causing ataxia.  These tTg IgA 6 antibodies are also found in people with Parkinson's disease, though they may not have Celiac Disease.  First degree relatives (parents, siblings, children) of those diagnosed with Celiac should be tested as well.  Celiac is genetic.  Your mom and sister should be tested for Celiac, too!   Definitely a good idea to keep to a gluten free diet.
