A Few Questions

I just went gluten free 3 weeks ago. Still not feeling very well but I know it may take a long time. I have a few questions, please.

I am way underweight due to the last 7 months of horrible symptoms. I'm trying to eat what I can, but I've learned you can't gain much weight no matter how many fruits and vegetables you eat. I'm also eating meats and I've made a few gluten free pasta dinners. I've got to feed the family too.

I'm trying to drink Ensure Plus because it has 350 calories and lots of vitamins and minerals. It doesn't go down well or sit well with me though. Is Boost better?

Also, I got rid of all my scratched teflon pans and all my tupperware and replaced with new. Toaster too. However, I have these wonderful cookie sheets given to me by a family member that worked in a school cafeteria. They're thick and everything bakes so nicely on them. I haven't been able to part with them yet. However, they are scratched and everything I baked on them in the past likely had gluten. Must I get rid of scratched metal cookware like a cookie sheet? I understand the teflon, the plastic, and most especially scratched wooden cutting boards, but what about my nice cookie sheets and my club aluminum ware that my mother purchased for me many years ago but is still in good shape?

Your input is much appreciated!

Debbie

You can scour aluminum pretty well with barkeeper's friend. I kept my stainless pots and cleaned them with it and all is fine. If there are deep impressions you may just have to switch them out.

I kept my aluminum cookie sheets (after scouring with bkf). An alternative is to line them with parchment paper when using. So far so good but I will eventually replace them with new. I don't allow gluten on my new aluminum holey pizza pan, too difficult to clean!

Just beware - if you feel like you get glutened after using them (or feel like you can't shake the gluten and can't pinpoint it) you may need to revisit those cookie sheets and pots.

I second parchment paper or maybe even a silicone baking mat.

Being underweight is not a situation I've ever had to deal with, but can you tolerate dairy? Maybe add some cheeses, cream soups, sour cream, that sort of thing to meals.

Sometimes it takes a while to heal. Although Boost is okay, I would keep your consumption of dairy to a minimum for the time being.

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?
