Is My Tupperware Okay?

I've gone through my kitchen and have gotten rid of a bunch of pre-diagnosis cooking supplies. Among them, I threw out a bunch of tupperware containers that had scratches on the bottom. My question:

I've had a set of ziplock tupperware for about a year now. They were only used for when I made pasta sauce. I'd make a big batch and store a bunch in the freezer. I'm not sure if the sausage I used was gluten free, but the only other time when I know for sure it had gluten in it was the last batch I made which had meatballs with bread crumbs in it. There aren't a lot of scratches on these, but there are some white particles stuck to the side that I'm having a hard time cleaning off.

Do you think these containers are safe to use? Or would it be better to toss them?

I'm really careful so my opinion is if you heated in the microwave & the sides are rough from the food & in the micro I would donate them to a gluten person & get new. For me its not worth getting a gluten-free family member sick over a plastic bowl. Plastic is so easily scratched...

Hi JessicaNYC, sorry to say I tried to use my tupperware and after the third time having a reaction I chunked them and got some new ones.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I think I'll give them to a friend. I'm only using one right now - it has my xanthan gum in it, but the powder is inside a plastic bag and not touching the tupperware. That should be okay right?

That is fine.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      I would hesitate to recommend tetracycline or any antibiotic as a long term therapy option because of the negative impact it has on the gut biome. I took it for years as a teenager for acne and I'm convinced it was a contributing factor in my having developed celiac disease.

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt. I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3. I haven't taken the tetracycline with it. It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands...

      First off, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long—being sick for half your life is unimaginably tough, and it’s huge that you’ve finally gotten some answers. A celiac diagnosis can feel overwhelming (especially on top of being vegan!), but it’s also a turning point. Your body is about to start healing, and that’s hopeful! This article has s...

      Yes, it is likely your villi healed, but if you are exposed to gluten regularly again the damage will likely come back and cause some potentially serious health issues.

      Welcome to the forum, @Pamp8, I stopped foods high in iodine, like dairy and eggs, kelp and iodized salt.   I take Niacinamide also called Nicotinamide or Vitamin B3.  I haven't taken the tetracycline with it.   It seems to make the blisters disappear quicker. I also use tallow balm, a cream made from beef fat, which has been used for thousands of years.  It is absorbed into the skin better than creams made from plants.  It helps prevent or lesson scarring.  See the study below. Two Cases of Dermatitis Herpetiformis Successfully Treated with Tetracycline and Niacinamide "The combination of tetracycline and nicotinamide can be recommended as a useful therapy for patients where dapsone is not available or for patients who do not tolerate dapsone." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30390734/

This last year it got way worse. I lost 40 pounds and had to drop out of school. I ended up getting and endo and blood tests and got positive results for celiac. I am looking for advice of ANY type. I am vegan so this is a big adjustment to add this to my diet. Thansk fro the help.
