Any Oddball, Non-Food Items To Watch?

On the final legs of de-glutening the house and was just wondering if there were any oddball items to watch out for.  My shampoo and conditioner are gluten-free, so is my make-up and face lotion.  What about goofy things like cleaning supplies or garbage bags or anything one wouldn't normally think of as a source of gluten??  Ok, maybe not garbage bags but you get the idea :D.

Play dough.  Sun screen. Kitchen utensils or baking tools that could be contaminated.  Ummmmm... Sugar canisters or other baking supplies that may have had a flour coated measuring cup dipped into it?  Sounds like you've got most of it to me.  :)

Wooden knife block if it previously had a bread knife in it! I missed that one at first...

Kissing a filthy gluten mouth.   ;)

Wash you oven mitts, pet food if you lick your fingers, oven rack, dish sponges, underneath seat cushions, vehicles.  That's all I can think to add and I'm assuming you already did the stuff in the Newbie Thread.

Sun Screen??  Really???  That is a new one.  UGGGGG.....I did think of the knife block.  We used to have a magnetic knife holder on the wall in our old kitchen. I need to go get a new one for this house and get rid of the knife block.  I don't have enough drawer space here to put them in a drawer.  Oven mitts have been washed and put aside.  Pet food and treats are gluten-free.  Hubs is going gluten-free so no kissing filthy mouths :D.  Didn't think of the seat cushions.  We clean them every so often but probably should do that this week too.   Suspect kitchen things are gone.

There might be one or two sunscreens with wheat germ oil but most of them have nothing that is from nature..... All lab made chemicals.

Yeah, most are okay.  Just give it a quick check.  At first it seems like gluten is everywhere, but it really isn't. It's just good to check everything if you are able.

White glue, wallpaper paste, some drywall compounds and spakle (drywall itself is usually fine) if you are working on your house. They are not a problem already applied.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
