I make gluten foods for my son but gluten-free only for me. Haven't had any problems with cross contamination.

Do you use non-gluten-free flour? I was a little worried about it "settling" around the kitchen.

I do, although not very often... While you're cooking you just have to be very careful to not touch your face and to wash your hands often.

Anything that involves gluten flour gets used in one area only and cleaned good after. Wash my hands after using it too. So far so good.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I don't want my poor husband to suffer *too* much. If left to his own devices the poor guy would be living on subway and canned tuna (he's not terribly keen on eating gluten-free foods). ;)

I bake ALL the time... my husband and sons and daughter would be SO upset if I didn't!! I made 300 mini french silk pies on Friday for my sons graduation ~ you just have to not breathe in the flour and make sure you wash up well!! I have never had a problem with it. :) Of course, when I bake gluten-free things for me... everyone knows that it is "hands off!!!!" Ha!

Happy baking!!! :)

I eliminated ALL non-gluten-free flours from my kitchen but we buy gluten items for the rest of the family (of 5) occasionally (such as bread, box mac & cheese, frozen pizza - homemade we use my crust, etc.) and I clean, clean, clean, and lecture the kids and husband if I see them just dusting their hands off - spreading those crumbs all over...they need to wash all those gluten crumbs down the drain!!!

Wheat flours stay in the air for such a long time. It would be very hard to cook gluteny foods without some sort of contamination in your house.

Just the whirr of the mixer can send flour into the air. :blink:

Also just being around them, they can be breathed in. Your nostrils lead to your throat and down your throat goes the flour that was in the air. :(

There are too many risks for me to cook with flour and such in my house!! I would rather find an alternative that is gluten free than risk being sick.

I guess if you were really anxious about it, you could go to your local hardware store and get a face mask ~ like you would wear when sanding sheetrock mud, etc. THEN you wouldn't breathe any flour in. :) I just know that my family would feel TOTALLY punished if I didn't bake for them. I am known throughout the town for my cookies & pies! My two sons put in their requests, and I can't imagine not making them... when they are gone, there are few areas where they still need their Mom!! :D

Can't say I ever had a problem breathing flour. I don't do much baking with it and am very careful with it so it may never have been enough to set me off. If you are super sensitive a good particle mask would be a good idea.

      Sorry cut out. Scott! Thanks You are really the master of this things! Thanks! One more question please, i did 2 EGD. In first EGD there was taken 2 samples from duodenum where they found MARSH 3b. In second EGD after 1year (i described in first post of this topic) they have taken multiple Samples from duodenum and jejunum and everything is ok (other than some of the samples is not readable but the explanation is very small and short, villi form good samples is OK and  they only found inflammation in lamina propria. Sorry, I am little overwhelm by this and scared so dr.google almost every-time frightens me. Would my GI and histology expert doctor see if there were like something serious like small bowel cancer or neoplasms(especially in histology)?

      It's quite common for the mucosa to appear normal during an endoscopy in patients with celiac disease, especially in cases of Marsh 3a or 3b histological changes. Studies have shown that the "naked eye" assessment of the small intestine during endoscopy often misses the subtle changes associated with early or less severe villous atrophy. This is why multiple biopsies from different parts of the duodenum, including the bulb, are essential for a reliable diagnosis. Visual clues like scalloping, nodularity, or atrophy may not always be visible, particularly in patients with less advanced disease. In fact, research indicates that histology can reveal significant findings even when the mucosa looks normal on endoscopy, reinforcing the need for biopsy as the gold standard for diagnosing celiac disease. For anyone preparing to have an endoscopy, it's important to ensure that your gastroenterologist takes multiple biopsies from various areas to increase the likelihood of an accurate diagnosis.

      Thanks Scott! One more question how many of celiac had normal mucosa on naked eye (i mean endoscopy) but histology was postive like marsh 3 a or b?

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.
