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!

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Latent celiac, need to go gluten free, advice on kitchen "reset?"

      By ShariW · Posted

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free. My cupboard now holds gluten-free baking flour, tapioca flour, rice flour, almond flour, gluten-free oats, gluten-free grits, gluten-free cornmeal, and a few gluten-free baking mixes for occasional use. On the odd occasion when we have pasta, it is gluten-free - nobody notices the difference in the "new" lasagna. I have found several good recipes that are gluten-free and everyone loves them. A family favorite is the Tarta de Santiago, a naturally gluten-free treat made with almond flour.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      How many people also get sick from the following prolamins?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
