Gluten free Friends!

Anyone else stuck in gluten free life?

I have needed to be gluten free since 2010, but I know I am not doing all the work since I live with and cook for two gluten lovers.

Going gluten free has helped me in huge ways, but I still have issues and I wonder if it is because of my casual contact with gluten on a daily basis.  Recently I bought myself my own gluten free toaster so I no longer cross contaminate my breads and things, but I am wondering if anyone else has any tips for basic things I need to be thinking about separating in this way. Should I be using separate pots and pans and utensils? Should I really be wearing gloves when prepping my family's gluten filled food?

 

I know these are questions for my doctor, but I guess my question here is for fellow gluten free peeps and the question is:

How much of this are you doing?

  • Hello! I am a physician and my mom suffers from celiac disease too. Yes, you have to use different pans , utensils and pots that are not contaminated by gluten when you cook or eat.

    This is what I have been thinking I need to do. 
...I need to create a system for myself for sure. 
  • Better still, cut out all flour.

    I have, personally, not consumed (intentionally) any food with flour or gluten since June 2010 (also dairy's been gone that long). However, I live with two bread lovers and that's where stuff gets complicated since I'm the one prepping everyone's food. I will take a look at both those books. I read a lot and researched a lot in the beginning and then got very fatigued by it all, but lately my curiosity has picked back up!

    And I should say that if I am cooking anything from scratch with flour, I do use gluten free. I think my biggest problem is the breads, pizzas, and prebreaded chicken nuggets that are still in my kitchen. My son is an incredibly picky eater, so any time I have tried gluten free replacements for these things, his gag reflex has shot me down.
    I have to admit I absolutely love crusty bread, with thick butter. Unfortunately, it doesn't like me so now I put the butter on everything else I am eating!

    Man, you don't have to tell me! I was raised on an Italian American diet: Italian bread, pastas, cheeses, home baked cookies and desserts, flour EVERYWHERE!
I always joke with my doctors saying, "I know why I have to be gluten free and dairy free: I've already eaten two lifetimes worth of my share!" 😆😆
    Love it! 😂 😂

    I work in a kitchen for a big hotel. If our guests are gluten free. It is a very serious matter. We have to sanitize our equipment, we have special equipment for that as anything the come in contact with gluten can and will kill a person.. So if your condition is seriously you have to be careful..
  • Dont forget to mark your stuff so others wont get it wrong

    Yeah, this is what I'm thinking about. How I am going to set it all up so they (and I) don't confuse it all!
  • You have done a great choice when you bought your own toaster

    It was my first baby step in the right direction of taking care of me.
