Hi
I'm newly diagnosed Coeliac and although it is a massive lifelong change I feel pretty ok and optimistic about it. However the whole cross contamination thing is overwhelming me. Obviously there are many foods that are naturally gluten free but I have been going through my cupboards and so many foods say may contain wheat. For example bags of dried lentils and nuts. Do I have to throw all these out. Was going to make peanut cookies but my peanuts may contain traces of gluten and looking online I can't find any that don't. Does everyone get symptoms if they have a tiny bit of gluten? (although I want to avoid this as much as possible as it could be causing damage even if I don't have symptoms).
Also, do most people end up having a completely gluten free house even if just one member of the family is Coeliac?
Any advice for a newly gluten free person welcome!!
Thanks
