Aluminum Bakeware And Tupperware ?

I have aluminum bakeware and tupperware that I used before I went gluten free. Do I need to replace these or is there a way to clean these surfaces sufficiently to be able to keep on using them.

I appreciate your help.

Good news and bad news.

The bad news is you really should get rid of the Tupperware because tiny bits of gluten are probably lurking in all the tiny pits and scratches in the plastic. I personally wouldn't use aluminum even if it was new, but that's just me. I don't trust it not to leach into our food. (Perhaps someone else can give you some more encouraging info about the aluminum.)

The good news is you get to pick out some new stuff for your kitchen. :rolleyes:

I kept some Tupperware if it was in good condition. But I threw out quite a bit. Depends on the item.

My cookware is Calphalon hard anodized aluminum and I gave it a good scrubbing and it's been fine.

I think the bottom line is that if something is in good condition, I kept it. If not, I got rid of it. And it is fun buying new things...I just can't seem to stop. :lol:

This is actually embarassing. I have been gluten free for six months now. I have been on this forum all that time. I have read the warnings many many times about our pots and pans.

But I have an old pot that my Mom got as a shower gift back in 1950. When Mom got new pans many years ago, I asked if I could have that one. Sentimental reasons, you know - Mom was the world's best cook. Almost every meal I ate while growing up had something that was cooked in that pot. I loved it so much that when I only took what would fit in my car when I moved to South Dakota, that was one of the things I included.

Yep, you guessed it. I have been having trouble with rice, both brown and white. But last week one day I was running late and didn't have time to cook, so I just brought the rice to work and cooked it in the microwave in a ceramic bowl. I ate it that way for a week, and sure enough, the rice stays with me and I am now actually DIGESTING it.

I feel like such a fool for not taking the warnings more seriously. I will still keep the cherished pot Mom gave me, but I think I might plant flowers in it. :rolleyes:

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.

      Gluten free stuff

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.
