I am wondering how you clean to make sure you are getting rid of those little crumbs and the like that like to linger around and CC things! I am worried that we just aren't being as diligent in ALOT of ways to keep things clean enough..including little hands. Any helpful advice would be appreciated!!

I had a moment yesterday where I could just hear those crumbs laughing at meknowing that I wasn't really getting them picked up!! :blink:

Thanks!

I've been wondering about how hard it would be having gluten in the house. Maybe we just make the rule that there's no gluten in the house, but those of us that can still have it, can have it while eating out or at other people's houses.

We are also thinking about the house being gluten free. I am interested what others use to clean with..bleach? What about table tops? Countertops?

What really gets rid of the gluten??

This is what I want to do. But I know I'm up for a battle. It's OK with me. The one year old won't object. The 11 yo and DH aren't going to be easy to persuade.

At my parent's house, my dad has one counter that he uses for gluten foods, one cutting board, one knife. His gluten things are not allowed on the gluten-free side of the kitchen. My dad is also fantastic about wiping up after himself. Even with all the precautions, I still get nervous when I visit. I live alone right now in an entirely gluten-free apartment and I get nervous just knowing that there's gluten lurking in the house that might get me.

I've read of some people making the gluten-members of the family keep their gluten cookies in ziplock bags in the garage and they're only allowed to eat them outside.

      Gluten free vitamins

      The forms that vitamin and mineral supplements come in can be important. Bioavailability (i.e., how well they are absorbed) is often sacrificed for the sake of cost and shelf life.

      @llisa, back then when you tried magnesium and it upset your tummy, I'm guessing you were using the most common form of magnesium found on store shelves, namely, magnesium oxide. It has a reputation for having a laxative effect. It is not very well absorbed and so draws a lot of water into the colon, just like the laxative known as milk of magnesia. I'm guessing if you would switch to the "glycinate" form of magnesium you would not have this problem. Magnesium glycinate is absorbed much better. If you can't find magnesium glycinate at your local stores, you can order gluten free brands of it off of Amazon.

      I've tried magnesium before. Twice in 2 years. It really upset my stomach. And that was before this celiac disease diagnosis. (Finally, after 2 years of trying to find out what was wrong with me.) I have no idea how sensitive I am. When my stomach was upset, I'd go to my comfort foods: cream of wheat, cheese and crackers, scrambled eggs and toast...so, making myself worse by trying to feel better.  Just got results of biopsy yesterday, so today is first day of trying no gluten and reading that it can be hiding in vitamins and meds. So, I welcome ALL advice and personal experiences. No advice is too basic. I know nothing. Thank you!

      Have you considered also supplementing with magnesium and zinc? We usually recommend these two as well. D3, Calcium and Magnesium all important for bone and nerve health.
