[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]She is extremely gluten-vigilant. She said she had to train her family about cross-contamination, about the dangers of gluten dust, and keeping foods containing gluten separated and sealed. [b]As for that level of vigilance - I think it is related to her anxiety[/b], but at the same time, I can empathize if even small amounts of gluten end up making her feel very ill. [/quote] [b]If she has celiac, this is [i]exactly[/i] the appropriate amount of vigilance. Seriously.[/b][/quote] Yes. My niece has Celiac. She brings some of her own food and is extremely vigilant about cross contamination. Op, this is necessary. She has also brought her own pot, cutting board, etc. She makes toast in the oven. We had two dishes of butter - one hers, one everyone else used. We double check with her before adding things to common dishes. (Salad dressings, seasonings) Generally less processed foods are safer. Op, talk to her about what she needs. A part of the kitchen that contains her things and only she uses might be preferable. We had one weekend where cross contamination happened. She felt pretty gross. Someone offered her Tums. Don't do that.[/quote]
