I have celiac disease: my parents have been planning for a long time for some of there friends to come over to eat and visit at our house , my dad said he is going to make calzones ( tried making his recipe with gluten free 1to1 flour and it never worked, it would need to be a different recipe made specifically for gluten free in order to work ) my dad always makes the calzones with gluten flour 😟                                                                                                                     my parents care a lot about me and my celiac disease. My parents know about cross contamination and take it seriously. I just recently learned that flour can stay airborne for 24-48 hours😟 I will not be eating the calzones my dad makes.
😬 I will make my own food that day, airborne gluten flour 😟

(If you haven’t see my other posts, I will link them below.) I have been having really bad itching off and on that I believe is because of me handling gluten flour at work, I did a test, avoiding doing things with gluten flour for a week and my itching significantly was reduced.

Information about my celiac disease symptoms: if I eat gluten I get bad cramps, bloating, washroom problems, extreme weight loss etc.  From what I have noticed if I handle gluten flour I get super itchy. 😟

It could be a good day for you to go to a film and possibly avoid being around, at least when the food preparation and baking are being done. It's too bad your recipe didn't work, but there might be other recipes out there.

I don’t have an official drivers license yet so I would not be able to go to a movie, unless I could get a cab or bus, I like the movie idea, but now my parents just recently told me that they want to introduce me to there Friends, I will not be working when my parents friends come over so I will need to be home😬 

my dad is going to be working on the calzones starting at 2pm  my time, my parents friends will be coming over for 3pm from what I was told.  I was thinking about maybe using a mask when my dad is working on the calzones at home. 😟   can I safely make food in the kitchen after my dad is done making the calzones in the kitchen ? if I clean the counters is that safe in this situation?😟  

Gluten could be in the air still? 😟 I don’t want my parents friends to think I am crazy using a mask when they get to my house , so I might take off the mask when they get to my house, 😟 I just don’t want to have any problems, so now I am uncertain about how I can safely go about this concerning gluten problem .

If you are extremely sensitive, then it's better safe than sorry--consider wearing a mask. 

By the way, this company makes a gluten-free all purpose flour that supposedly makes great GF calzones:

I have a white bread recipe that works really well for making calzones. I make the dough let the dough rise. Then I put some dough in a mini loaf tin, then put inside filling  on top of dough, and then cover the inside filling more dough on top let it rise for 30 minutes and then bake, and I have my own mini loaf calzone. I’ve done this for years, but it takes a lot more time and does not look like an actual calzone more like a mini loaf, but it tastes exactly like a calzone you would not be able to tell that it wasn’t one just by the taste.

The gluten ones my dad makes do not require mini loaf tins so he can make larger batches quicker, maybe in the future I will try the recipe Scott Adams suggests, the only thing for me is, I would kind of not like to have to resort to buying online. If I don’t have to, I do understand that buying online might be a good option to consider down the line because of how prices are fluctuating, but I try to use online shopping as a last resort.

Sometimes having them look different is good thing.  If they look similar, you can tell the difference but others may not & eat your gluten-free ones as well.  Not a  problem for them but leaves you with none.  
     When appearance matters, might try using  “pam-ed” 6” pizza pans or pie tins or even parchment paper. Spread dough in circle, fold.  
    If using pans, baking will take more than double the oven space for round pans that are only half full. Might be worth the effort if making for a gluten-free crowd & there’s not a look alike gluten alternative.

Thankfully, everyone in my family respects my diagnosis and agreed to go gluten free when I was diagnosed.  When the doctor told them they needed to be tested too, they complied, even my hubby.  My husband and one son have NSGS and our other son, his sons and his wife all have celiac disease. 

Our households do not permit anyone to bring anything with gluten into our homes.  We have to protect ourselves because nobody else will.  It took being stuck in a cruise ship cabin with me after being glutened for the rest of them to realize just how bad my reaction is.  The longer they are off gluten too, the worse their reactions are.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Thank you for your reply. Yep, the doctor made a mistake there for sure, but when my other doctor called she said I would wait for the referral to doctor for the gastro it can take months, and so long she thought it would be a good idea to stay gluten free.    I am really concerned about my problems tough and I don’t know if I am eating something with gluten to upset my stomach with the sulphur burps and dihareaa. I have also taken stool samples that I am going to leave on Friday this week and that’s another thing that I am worry about, if it shows something else. I mean, if am ”gluten free” why do I have problems with the stomach still? As I understand, the problem with dihareaa and other problems is when you get gluten in you by mistake for example?    I have this rashes to, going to try to upload them here.  Here is the link to the pictures of the rashes, it’s not itchy.      https://postimg.cc/gallery/p2N8kT7

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.
