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.

      How long does it take to gain weight?

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.

      Taken Seriously

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      I had no idea there is a "Louisville" in Colorado!😉 I thought it was a typo because I always think of the Kentucky city--but good luck!
