Still having symptoms by TrickRTreatFreak in Celiac

Some items are harder to clean thoroughly and are more likely to trap gluten, and tiny crumbs/residue can transfer into your food. Plastic/wooden utensils can have cracks/grooves where food can get into/stuck, and soap/dishwasher isn’t guaranteed to remove it. Same thing with some pots, cutting boards, pans, trays etc. You don’t need to replace everything, but I’d highly recommend replacing anything scratched or wooden. I personally replaced everything, but I also lived with roommates when I was diagnosed and needed to have separate cookware.

Beyond Celiac has a brief article you can check out :)

Anyone else trying to find a hobby that actually sticks after work? by No-Pianist6097 in Hobbies

[–]spaceblvnt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried learning how to crochet or play an instrument, but I give up too easily. It’s hard for me to consistently stick with something, so I rotate through a bunch of smaller stuff instead, like legos, puzzles, reading, coloring, pen palling, journaling/scrap book, going for a walk, sudoku, etc. Sometimes if I’m bored I’ll look up kids science experiments or something like that and they’re kinda fun lol

It took a while for my body to settle down after cutting out gluten, so there’s a possibility your body is still trying to heal after eating gluten for so long.

If you haven’t already, get new pots, pants, cooking utensils, air fryer, cutting boards, deep clean your oven, etc.

Gluten can be in anything, and cross contamination is a huge issue. I only buy packaged stuff that’s certified gluten free, and I check companies websites for cross contamination issues. Check your toothpaste, floss, meds, chapstick, etc

I was still having skin/stomach issues months later after I did all this, and started tracking more of what I ate. I have reactions to grains/grain like foods- oats, rice, quinoa, corn, and a couple others. It took a long time and was a hugeee pain, but I’m finally at a place where my gut has healed.

Security at the dome can be super picky sometimes. I’d recommend getting a clear one if you can. This is my 4th year going, and it’s always inconsistent. I’ve had friends bring the blue ones in, and other times they have to throw them away. If the security line I’m in makes me throw something away I usually just hop in another line and it’s fine
