New Toaster?

I am about to go gluten and dairy free since my test results from Enterolab confirmed these two sensativities. We currently have a nice toaster oven that both my wife and I use for bagels, waffles etc... Now when I do go gluten free will I have to buy a new toaster or will I be able to clean the one we have now and it would be ok?

Also what kind of care products contain gluten? Deodorant, toothpaste, soaps, shampoos? Are there specific brands that dont contain gluten?

Thanks!

I agree with the need for a separate toaster--but did you say toaster oven? That you can clean out thoroughly, and if needed, line the inside pan with foil for your food.

Its ok to buy a new one (Just don't get the $300 one at Williams Sonoma -- haha)

WHEN I STARTED OUT...THOUGHT CC WAS JUST HYPE AND DIDN'T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT..KEPT 100% gluten-free BUT STILL DIDN'T FEEL THE WAY I SHOULD.

THEN HAD COMPANY FOR A WEEK WITH LOTS OF NON gluten-free TOAST IN THE TOASTER...EVEN THO ON THE OTHER SIDE. :lol: HA HA

WELL MY DH CAME HOME WITH A NEW BEAUTIFUL CHROME TOASTER--2 SIDED -BIG SLOTS FOR BEGALS...AND I'VE BEEN SOOOOO MUCH BETTER. HE USES THE OLD ONE ACROSS THE KITCHEN :ph34r:

GET YOURSELF A CHEAP TOASTER AND I BET YOU'LL AVOID ALOT OF PROBLEMS. I SURE HAVE.

Personally, if we would have a toaster oven (and if I could eat gluten-free bread, which I can't, since I can't tolerate any grain at all), I would just get a new, cheap toaster (okay, I did, it just sits there now <_< ). Because for me, I would find it a lot of hassle to constantly have to put foil in whenever I would use it, and would probably forget at times. Besides, in order for it to be really safe, you would really need to clean it out every time after somebody uses it for non-gluten-free food. What a pain.

Any shampoo, soap, toothpaste, lotion etc. that says 'wheat germ oil' or 'barley extract' (or whatever looks suspicious) needs to be replaced. If in doubt, give the company a shout! Ha ha. Seriously, you might have to use the 1-800 number at times to find out what the ingredients are, because not all companies actually list them on the product. Don't guess, that's not safe.

Yes, new toaster.

We have a "his" and "hers" toaster set,haha! Since I use my gluteny toaster less, mine in in kitchen closet in a plastic bag. I take it out when I need to toast gluten breads. I think I use it once every 3-4 months.

I sometimes eat gluten-free bread and toast that in celiac disease toaster and I like the gluten-free waffles in toaster too.

So the gluten-free toaster is now used the most.

we have a toaster oven... I toss the rack in the dishwasher and I ALWAYS put foil down before toasting anything for me or my daughter. My hubby uses it for his non gluten-free breads and buns and we don't have any problems. I am also VERY sensitive and react to the smallest amount of cross contamination, so I think a shared toaster oven is ok IF you clean it thoroughly and alway use foil. But if it's a regular stand up toaster, buy a new one, because those are impossible to keep clean.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions...

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
