So I'm about to move out and I've been shopping for all of the odds and ends that I'll be needing, and I'm about to begin purchasing cookware. I've got tons of food sensitivities and my doctor thinks they're because of the heavy metals that show up in my blood tests and urine tests (mercury, aluminum, lead, copper, arsenic etc.). For the past couple of years I've been cooking with teflon and I use a lot of foil when I'm cooking...does anyone know of any dangers in that? One of my strong food sensitivities is oil so I have to cook with something that my food won't stick to...any suggestions on what my healthiest bet is?

I would lose the teflon, as it can create wierd side effects in a person. I cook everything in butter, and I have stainless steel pans. Ceramic coated pans will be the safest for you, probably. Also, try googling "heavy metal detox" and see what you get, you might try chlorella for cleansing. In what way do you use a lot of foil in cooking?

stainless steel pot& pans are the best. They will do the job without anything hidden... I would invest ina heavy weight set some are very light inweighed & things will not cook as well in them.My pans are heavy in weight so I don't get burning & uneven cooking.

I would trash the teflon also.. Do a search on teflon & I bet you will be surprised...

My son has heavy metal poisioning in his brain ( lead & Mercury). His blood test came back ok but we have since found it was past his blood & settled in his brain. We have done chelation therapy & are now working on some other options. This is a deadly combo.

Do you know where your source of heavy metals came from??? He missed 10 months of work last year do to this....

I got rid of all my teflon a few years ago and bought a good stainless set too. I found mine at Sears. I thought I'd have to scrub and scrub to get things clean, but it really isn't bad at all. As long as you clean up right away. Sometimes I'll let a pan soak in some soapy water for a bit, but then it comes right out. I was very surprised when I read about teflon a few years ago. And it's still everywhere!!

Try searching eBay for Visions Cookware by Corelle. I don't think you can buy it new anymore, but if anyone knows of a source for new stuff, let me know! :)

Thanks everyone...

I'm just wondering if there's something out there (in terms of skillets) that's nonstick but not toxic? I can't use any oil or spray on anything so it's kind of tough.

Thank you for the responses so far though!

I very seldom use anything on my stainless. You might try just searing the meat in a hot skillet then adding tiny amounts of water to keep it from burning. I never have a problem doing this method.

      Does High DGP IGA Typically Mean Celiac?

      By Skg414228 · Posted

      Oh sorry see I know nothing lol. Yes my doctor informed me to eat gluten up until the biopsy so squared away there. All of my questions here are just to get me in the right head space. I have put the actual values from the test.  Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgA Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value 688 Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgA Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Positive (Abnormal) Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: <0.5 Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: 0.4 Deamidated Gliadin Peptide IgG Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, Quantitative Normal range: 0.0 - 14.9 U/mL - Value: <0.8 Tissue Transglutaminase IgG Antibody, Qualitative Normal value: Negative - Value: Negative IgA Quantitative Normal range: 68 - 378 mg/dL - Value: 271

      Welcome to the forum, @Skg414228! You say that your DGP-IGA score is high and you give the absolute test score but you do not give the scale or units used by the lab doing the analysis so we cannot comment further on your conclusion. Different labs use different reference ranges for the same tests. There is no industry standard for these celiac antibody tests. So, could you also post back with the scale and the units? If you already have an endoscopy/biopsy scheduled, the important thing is to hold off on going gluten free until that is done. There are some things besides celiac disease that can cause elevated celiac disease antibody levels so it is still possible you may be looking at something else. This is especially true when you are not IGA deficient and the tTG-IGA is within normal range. But you are correct in saying that very high antibody antibody scores strongly weight the probability in favor of celiac disease. Keep us posted. By the way, kudos to your physician for ordering a more complete antibody panel. Many will only order the tTG-IGA.

      I went to the gastroenterologist for what I thought was IBS. They thought it sounded like celiac. I got a blood test with normal everything except a deamidated gliadine peptide iga of 688. Total iga was in normal range so not deficient.    My question is with a dgp iga like that is it pretty much only celiac at that point. I haven’t seen anything else that would cause the dgp iga to be that high. Already have the biopsy scheduled so nothing is going to change I’m just curious what else it could be and is the number high enough that I should really be preparing expecting a positive biopsy and it’s just a confirmation at this point?

      Increasing symptoms after going gluten free

      By Aussie Celiac · Posted

      Sometimes celiacs can also have other things like lactose intolerance which is fairly common. Also research fodmap foods, it's quite complicated but there are some other foods which can cause digestive issues. For me it's too many onions and garlic.

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.
