Cleaning An Oven-Is It Necessary

Recommended Posts

Hello, not sure if this is the proper place to post this question however, I just moved into a new home and do not know what has been cooked in this oven.  I assume it should be cleaned really well to avoid any contamination.  Is this a true statement?  If yes, any suggesstions on what kind of oven cleaner might be a good one?

 

I have been sick the past couple of days, one I know I was glutenned from something (not sure what) and today upset stomach.  Granted, there is a stomach flu going around town, but my only thought might be the oven in this new house has crumbs, flour, wheat, etc lingering around.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!  :unsure:

If there is something that could fall on your food, definitely. But, wouldn't you do that anyway?

But, when I moved into a previously owned kitchen, I cleaned the oven, counters, fridge, bathrooms, etc. use the self cleaning cycle and wipe any ashes out after. If it doesn't have a self cleaning cycle, I would use one of those foaming oven cleaning products. You could just turn it on for a couple of hours at the highest heat and scrape off any stuff.

I cleaned everything but the oven.  It looks really clean inside, but I think for my own piece of mind it should be scrubbed and the self cleaning cycle should be used.  Thank you for you information.

I have always cleaned the oven when I moved into a new place. While I haven't moved since being diagnosed, I simply find the idea of using a dirty oven that I don't know the history of positively disgusting. I will continue this practice when I move again.

If its self cleaning, you don't need those toxic oven cleaners. Just run the cycle - it should be hot enough and long enough to burn up gluten. Then just wipe out the ashes, if there are any.

If your oven is self-cleaning, DO NOT USE OVEN cleaner or you will damage your oven! Just run the clean cycle and wipe up the crumbs and wash off the walls and ceiling with mild soap and water.

This.  And if you use cleaner before the cycle runs, any residue left in there will go into the air.  See if you can locate the manual in the house, and if not google the make and model # and you should be able to find the manual fairly easily.

      If you don't like prunes, Figs are rich in fiber, with 3-5 dried figs providing about 5 grams.

      Fiber Supplement

      Thanks, I do include chia seeds and ground flax seed in my diet to help as well but on days that I'm not close to my target of 30 grams of fiber, I would add the Benefiber. My IBS-C was much better with both natural foods and the supplement so I will continue to search for another natural supplement that is not based on wheat to have when needed. Thanks

It is not uncommon to test negative for antibodies and even biopsies to still have Celiac Disease.  Many on this forum have gone 10 years testing negative and surviving multiple misdiagnoses before finally being diagnosed as celiac. If trial GFD after all the negative tests are concluded brings improvement, will you continue to eat gluten and suffering since the doctor says you are not sick? Your list of symptoms, mostly unrelated to each other, certainly fits the pattern of celiac disease.  Do you really have nine different diseases, all with cause unknown?

      Welcome @Trish G to the forum. Hard or lumpy stools and infrequent bowel movements.  My brother likes Phillips Stool Softener, Ducolate Sodium.   Just a question. Was the benefiber helping? Benefiber is only 3 grams per dose so lots of other foods can supply that.  Nutrition label DV for fiber is 28 g. 5 prunes, dehydrated plums, has 3 grams of fiber and additionally 290 grams of potassium. Potassium is good for IBS-C because it prommotes muscle contractions in the intestines.  Low potassium contributes to constipation and bloating.  Most of us don't eat the RDA for potassium (2600 women, 3400 men) and the DV (Daily Value used on nutrition labels) is 4700 mg a day for men, women and children. When I complained of constipation due to my BP meds my doctor recommened prune juice without hesitation,  When I bother to eat Prunes or plums it works.   I think the fruit is better for you than the juice for addition nutrients.
