"CAUTION/WARNINGS"

Be on the lookout for possible cross-contamination.
     Even when eating or preparing foods that are gluten free, if these foods come into contact with foods that contain gluten, you run the risk of something called cross-contamination.   For example, crumbs from regular wheat bread can find their way into jams, spreads, or condiments if people aren't careful to use a fresh knife or utensil each time. Keeping condiments in squeezable bottles or using separate jams and spreads is a great idea for people with celiac disease. It's also a good idea to keep a separate toaster for gluten-free bread.     If someone in your family bakes with products that contain gluten, you need to thoroughly clean appliances, utensils, and work surfaces before preparing your gluten-free products. Remember to wash your hands thoroughly and often.

How do I prevent cross contamination?  • Tips At home: 
o Use a separate toaster– do not share common items.   o Wash utensils, pots, pans and dishes thoroughly between uses.  
o Perhaps use a specific color bowl for gluten-free items on the table. o Keep your gluten-free items labeled and store in a gluten-free location 
o Buy and use squeeze bottles when possible  o Purchase duplicate containers of peanut butter and spreads

• When out at a restaurant:
o Explain that you have a food intolerance and that will get very sick if the food is not prepared properly. o Order plain meats and veggies.  Bring your own gluten-free soy sauce and dressings.  o Roasted and grilled foods are generally safe.
Know the foods and ingredients to avoid.  
   Gluten is contained in many other products.  Wheat is commonly used as a thickener, a stabilizer and a texture enhancer, It is also added to many non-food products.  Products may contain gluten as a filler, binder or texture enhancer and therefore they need to be eliminated from your gluten-free lifestyle.

   Is “wheat-free” also gluten-free? No, as other grains or derivatives may be present.  You must continue to read labels for other gluten-containing ingredients such as barley or spelt

"CHEATING"
     "The only treatment for celiac disease is a gluten-free diet for life.  It has been shown that as little as 1/8th teaspoon of flour will cause changes in the intestinal mucosa (Semrad 2004)."      Is any amount of gluten safe to eat? - Studies underway are looking at parts per million, indicating that even trace amounts can be harmful to the small intestine.  Remember, the small intestine sees itself as the “enemy” when gluten enters and an immuno-response is triggered as a result.   What if I cheat? Know that your small intestine has a memory.  What you were feeling while eating gluten-containing foods, you will most likely experience again.  Your villi may flatten and it may take days to recover from the insult.

What medicines are ok?
• www.celiac.com  – list of GF medications
• Talk to/educate your pharmacist of your limitations.  Should they be unfamiliar with Celiac Disease, give them material to read.  By advising them of your situation before emergencies arise, a pharmacist can be aware of Gluten-free alternatives such as Antibiotics and know where to turn when you need it most.  • Special pharmacies can compound most medications to be gluten-free         Stokes Pharmacy (800)754-5222
