I am convinced the latest issues are cross contamination from my kitchen. I know the gluten-free lunchmeat cut on the store slicer gave me gluten for a week 2 weeks ago and I am still recovering. I haven't done a lot with my kitchen, but today is the day. I did rearrange the pantry, but today it shall be cleaned. The fridge and the cooking utensil drawers will be cleaned out and we are going shopping. My daughter had a stomach and headache last night and I know she has been gluten-free meal wise since last Wed. after the stupid GI appointment. It must be cc. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Here is my two cents. We went out and bought new tupperware and rubbermaid containers all with blue lids. These are gluten-free containers only. It helps my husband to find a quick snack for my daughter in or out of the refrigerator.

We tossed all our teflon pots and pans and went to all stainless so as not to cross contaminate due to scratches in teflon. Out went all the plaastic spatulas and spoons and replaced with stainless.

Most of my daughters meals are cooked in the redi set express machine and we keep it completely allergen free.

We keep all of the gluten-free boxed goods on a seperate bakers rack to avoid cross contamination. I always cook my daughters food first then I deal with ours.

To make our grill gluten free for our daughter my hubby ran the frill at 600 degrees for 25 minutes to burn off all gluten (I we cooked alot with beer)

Good luck.

I don't know if it is possible to get cc from the dishwasher, but this week I noticed residue in our glasses after the wash cycle was over. My husband cleaned out the drain, which had a plastic straw cover and an onion skin in it. This was keeping food residue from being rinsed down the drain. Now our dishes are clean and I don't worry about getting cc from there...although it may be excessive worry, I don't know. Good luck finding the source of your problem!

      Aveeno products

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I use Aveeno Moisturizing Body Lotion with prebiotic oat, unscented. I really only use it on my hands and not every day. Haven't noticed it any problems. I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Having a RAVENOUS appetite (or conversely no appetite at all - anorexia) and unintended weight loss are symptoms of early thiamine deficiency.   People who are physically active, athletes, physical laborers, those who exercise outside regularly have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Exercising outside regularly can cause more thiamine loss because sunlight breaks down thiamine.  (This is why people with heat stroke are administered thiamine.)  More thiamine is lost through the kidneys in those who exercise regularly.  Because blood tests for thiamine deficiency is so inaccurate, the World Health Organization suggests, if thiamine deficiency is suspected, give thiamine and look for health improvement.   Do not take Thiamine Mononitrate as this form is not well absorbed nor utilized in the body.  It is frequently found in foods, and multivitamins and B1 supplements because it will not break down with exposure to light while sitting on a shelf at the store.  Thiamine Mononitrate is shelf stable - it won't break down with light exposure - and this makes it not bioavailable.  The body only absorbs about 30% and utilizes less than that because it's so hard to break down.   Benfotiamine and the form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide) and thiamine hydrochloride are wonderful forms to take.   I'm familiar with these symptoms because I dropped sixty pounds in a month because I had developed thiamine deficiency.  I ate well, exercised, and took a multivitamin (with thiamine Mononitrate), but the metabolic needs of my body demanded more.  The years of poor absorption due to undiagnosed Celiac disease had depleted my stores of thiamine.  My doctors did not recognize thiamine deficiency symptoms, even when they progressed to Wernicke's Encephalopathy.  They said I was making things up and sent me home. With nothing else to lose (I could feel myself dying), I took high dose thiamine hydrochloride as the WHO suggested and had improvement within the hour.   I also tried Benfotiamine and TTFD in the months that followed and had even more significant health improvement. Please don't wait until your brain starts malfunctioning or other organs start failing.  Please take thiamine soon.  It's nontoxic and safe even in high doses.  Thiamine works with other B vitamins, especially Riboflavin and Pyridoxine, so supplementing with a B Complex is essential as well.  Magnesium is needed as well to make life sustaining enzymes. There's no harm, no foul in trying Thiamine.  If for no other reason than to prove it is not thiamine deficiency.   P. S.  Thiamine is needed to turn on Vitamin D, turning it into its active form.  Otherwise  Vitamin D can't be utilized and just builds up in the system.

      Oh and yes, thanks, other than being permanently RAVENOUS and not yet putting on weight, I am feeling pretty good. I jog, do yoga, today cycled 12km to a food market then to another place to get my fish, then my gluten-free bread... My life is All about food!;( But I shld prob. be less active as obv is keeping the pounds off... And having some muscle makes me feel less depressed with my skeletal appearance.
