My Son Cooked Gluten In My Non-Stick Skillet

My son cooked grilled cheese sandwiches (with regular white bread) in my Paula Deen non stick skillet. It has about three very small scratches in the coating, and up until now I wasn't too worried about them. Can I still use this skillet, or do I need to get another one?

I think I would use it ....on his backside. If one of my teen boys did that, they would have to go to the store, maybe 3 or 4 stores, until I found a new one I liked. They would then have to buy it. The shopping is part of the punishment.

Seriously, I would get a good look at it and then probably soak it and then soak the cracks with vinegar and wash again. That's if it really only has 3 little scratches. Otherwise, see above.

Oh, believe me I'm mad.gif. I'd like to use it somewhere on him besides his backside. I'm going to soak it in hot water with dish detergent tonight, and then do the vinegar soak and wash again. Hopefully it will work, because I can't afford to go and get another one.

Thanks for the tips. Too bad I will have to test it to see if it worked. If I get sick I'll use it on him! I've taken meticulous care of my Paula Deen cookware. It was one of the first things I bought after I found out I had celiac. Just something that made me feel better about cooking so much more lol. smile.gif

My dietitian never told me to replace my cookware and said it should be safe with regular cleaning. I *did* buy some stainless steel stuff because my non-stick stuff was scratched up, and I really don't like/trust non-stick surfaces.

I'd use it. Triple wash it and then use it....but I'd make them cook their own dinner for awhile in their own pans :)

The first couple times use it to cook something gluten-free, but feed it to the family. It may help in getting rid of gluten that didn't wash out.

I would be as worried about the toxins from the non stick surface just as much the contamination from the gluten. Personally, I would pitch the thing and purchase a stainless steel pan.

I think you should be fine. I never even replaced my cast iron skillets and I have not goten sick from cross contamination.

hhdavid,

I don't have an answer for you about your cookware but instead have a few questions as i still need pointers on living in a shared house.

Are you sensitive to cross contamination?

Do you use separate plates, silverware, etc.?

Do you share hand towels?

I make sure all dishes are rinsed before going in the dishwasher and only I unpack it to make sure nothing gets cc. I use paper towels for washing my hands for opening cupboard doors, preparing food, etc. I only eat food that I prepare myself. The list goes on and on.

I'm still not healthy but am not positive that cc is the issue. It may be other food intolerances, rice possibly one of them, but I'm having a hard time pinpointing what is going on.

I haven't had any problems with my good non-stick pans int he 9+ months that I have been gluten-free (I didn't replace them). {They are the ones that you are supposed to be able to use metal in (not that I ever would) so I know they are a more durable surface.} Given it's paula dean, I would assume it is high quality and should be fine.

Never underestimate the power of a good lecture...your son will never do THAT again! :D

      Issues before diagnosis

      I agree, it so often overlooked!

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees.  People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits.  Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease.   Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of the extra histamine the body makes with Celiac disease and histamine consumed in the diet.   Vitamin C and the eight B vitamins are needed to help the body clear histamine.   Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?
