Turns out she used plastic and wooden utensils in the sauce for the pasta....so we can't eat it...currently making some simple gluten free spaghetti. SOOOOO bummed out right now but it's not worth the tummy ache nauseous feeling :( I really wanted the pasta she was making *sighs*

Where did you get the idea that plastic is always a problem? Wood is porous by its nature--plastic is not.

It gets stained and what not. She used wood in it for sure.

The wood utensils take it out of play for sure. Plastic in good condition washes up well, just like porcelain in good condition. Items with scratches--regardless of what they are made from--will be a potential problem.

Since were talking pasta, let's mention colanders. Metal ones with a wire screen provide a perfect particle trap where the wires cross in the mesh--you can't clean them after use with regular pasta. A plastic colander would be safer, even if slightly scratched.

Gluten (protein) molecules are very large, and penetrating a soft plastic such as polyethylene is not going to happen. Stains can be created by much, much smaller molecules. Tomatoes stain every plastic they touch--no gluten worries there (but if you have nightshade issues, maybe).

Hmm well we're heading up to my home province next week and i was talking to my mom about tonight and she said she has a metal one..would something like this be okay? http://www.chinatraderonline.com/Files/Household/Kitchenware/Kitchen-Utensil-Set/Colander-with-Ball-Shaped-Base-11503723970.webp

I'm guessing this one is more of what you mean right? http://www.homebrewunderground.com/images/colander.webp

Yup, the first one is safe--holes in solid metal. The other one is a wire mesh and can't be shared. I have a wire mesh colander which I really like, but it has never been in the same kitchen as gluten pasta.

Have a wonderful time! Be careful, be prepared and relax with your family. That's the most important thing. ;)

Off topic: My wife and I travelled to Newfoundland in 1991 and it was beautiful. We took the ferry to Channel-Port aux Basques and drove around the island to the Argentia ferry terminal, taking several days to do it.

I don't want to spoil the fun, but I bring my own colander. It's rubbery and collapsible. I just don't see how they get the gluteny sticky pasta out of the holes. Maybe she could even get a plastic $3 one for you?

This is much nicer than the one I have. Mine is like this but on a handle/ stick. Its not as big as a regular colander.

Yeah I will probably end up just buying one while i'm there and tell her to keep it there for when we visit lol I do have a nice blue plastic flat board with holes...not sure what the technical name for it is but it's meant for straining like a colander. Could easily fit in my luggage. Has a handle and you just hold it up against the pot.

      abnormal weight loss

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I think potato chips can be fine depending on the oil used and the amount of salt on them, so if they help you gain weight you may want to keep them in your routine.

      Maybe celiac, maybe just ncgs?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I also had issues with severe neck and shoulder pain for years, so this may be a symptom of celiac disease.  In case you end up screening negative for celiac disease, approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Many thanks to everyone for the advice received and especially to Knitty Kitty.  I have ordered a one month supply of Benfotiamine and very much look forward to trying it.  The expression "I felt like I was dying" really resonates with me.  I have other symptoms which I didn't mention, such as vertigo and brain fog which are referenced by knitty kitty in her very detailed post. Clearly, there is other stuff that I should be trying, but I can only cope with one thing at a time at present! I will be back to let you know if the Benfotiamine, which should arrive in the next few days, has had any impact.🙂

      OK maybe I will look at future blood test just for historical changes. I am taking b vitamins as I mentioned in my other post to you. Definitely interested in Benfotiaminefor intestinal issues. However I already seem to be feeling some improvement in diverticulosis. Constipation gone but I think that resuming glucosamine may have something to do with that as well as general healing. Beans are antagonizing for me but I eat them anyway every few days in the form of pasta as well as baked beans. gluten-free for 4.5 months so still experimenting. Thanks for the info.

      abnormal weight loss

      By glucel · Posted

      Thanks @knitty kitty, I read your v b info with much interest for last few months. Here is my weight per event: sept 8, 2022- 181 lbs june 1, 2024 gluten free july 4- 143.5 lbs july31- changed from regular b to methyl folate and b12. oct 8- 150 lbs So weight hopefully coming back albeit very slowly. So probably my villi may be healing and methyl helping although also eating potato chips every few days so that is probably helping too.  Taking 100 mg of b1 along with complex. I took all thiamine maybe 100 or so tablets. Brain fog diminished some and it seems swallowing trouble also diminished. Stopped taking it couple months or so ago and did not notice any reversals. I think I will finally look into bentofothiamine. Also eat 1/2 ounce liver every morning for additional v b support.
