Help I’m cross contaminating myself,
in Dermatitis Herpetiformis

You've already identified the issue. You cannot have ANY gluten in your home EVER. It's not optional for everyone who lives with you to have a dedicated gluten free diet! And anyone who comes to visit you cannot bring anything gluten-containing into your home. All gluten containing items need to be thrown away, beauty/bath products included. All pots/pans, dishes, utensils need to go through the dishwasher. Anything too porous or delicate for the dishwasher needs to be thrown away and replaced. Your toaster needs to be thrown away and replaced. Your oven, stovetop, and all surfaces throughout your home (bedrooms and bookshelves too) need to be thoroughly washed. All of this needs to happen in the same day because you risk contaminating other parts of your home if you do only part of the job. There's no such thing as a "safe" amount of gluten in your home. Not putting your foot down means greater risks into the future for vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, damage to your thyroid, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and more.
