[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have celiac and it is not the same as a peanut allergy. Kids can be in the same room and they will not have a reaction. Celiac never causes anaphylaxis. It is not an allergy. They get one kitchen, you get the other. If they have a cow because you're kid is snacking on crackers, they can retreat to the other house. [/quote]

+1. I also cannot eat wheat without becoming ill. Everyone use paper plates, throw utensils through the dishwasher and wipe down all the counters. Only allow eating in designated eating spaces, like dining room, and vacuum up crumbs.  It's not that hard to avoid cross contamination if people are actually thinking about it.

You can do things like make hamburgers/hot dogs for everyone and have different bags of buns -- just don't put the buns on the grill. GF family does things like keep their own package of butter and jam in their place.

This doesn't mean that it won't create drama when you call them on it. Up to you to decide if that's worth it. [/quote]
