Office Coffee Machine - Cross Contamination Question

Hi everyone (again) - I feel like I'm asking so many questions, but this is all new! I am trying to identify any cross contamination areas I might not normally think of.  One place is the communal coffee machine at work (note - I know that some celiacs don't tolerate coffee well...but for now I'm crossing my fingers and toes and hoping that I will!).

We use a Total 1 Beverage Machine (Open Original Shared Link.  It makes coffee and hot chocolate (and also mixes various beverages using milk). I have inspected the ingredients that go in (coffee, hot chocolate, milk) and have only found a 'wheat' warning on the milk.  It doesn't contain wheat but is processed in a facility that also processes wheat.  I do NOT use the milk in my own coffee. 

My question is, if I do a flush of the machine using hot water, then brew my coffee, does this seem safe enough? I am not using the milk, which is the only product with the warning, and I don't want to end up being TOO paranoid about all of this.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I don't know, so I'm following! We have similar machines and it been dying to know what other celiacs do about these!

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
